Project Roadmap/TODO/Priority List

In order of priority

1. Order PCBs
   • Gerbers to Hackvana
   • Review/approve panelisation
2. Order remaining parts from digikey
3. Pre-arrival dev using Kakapo dev boards
   • Simple console
   • Telnet to console
   • TFTP upgrade via xboot
4. Build first panel
5. Smoke test HW design
   • PSU stability under 1A load
   • Status LEDs
   • Network: MAC query, config, responds to ping
   • Can see 1PPS pulses from GPS for lock
   • Can init DAC to mid-range and put 'scope on output voltage
   • Put 'scope on VCXO, check output
6. Main implementation
   • DAC completed with full range; 'scope to validate range covered
   • VCXO test clock rate vs DAC input using scope
   • Hook GPS 1PPS to soft DFLL capture
   • DAC voltage adjust based on DFLL result
   • GPS parse GPS Week/TOW and UTC offset
   • Internal soft clock init from predicted next UTC second and 1PPS signal
   • Reliable soft clock capture
   • NTP recieve and transmit
7. Testing
   • Prepare firmware images for test sticks
   • Provide sticks to testers
8. Ship
   • Work out true BOM cost
   • Order additional parts
   • Build remaining units
   • Send to nicegear!
9. Bask in glory of completed project!
10. Backport changes to libkakapo into upstream
