Some Aurora hardware docs, salvaged from Yahoo hardware groups. Thanks to Derek for salvaging them.
Please see the FILES.TXT file within the zip file for a list of what's what.

Re: Aurora Hardware Documents
Hi,
The files within the zip file are zip compressed as well.
The GIF Schematic file has some differences to the actual hardware.
I was trying to draw up a schemtic in Altium Designer, where I found some differences ftom thd PCB file.
I have tried to migrate the PCB file to KiCad, but the KiCad importer has some problems, it seems there are some violations in the PCB data.
I guess I will have to correct all the violations in Altium, which means a little learning on Altium Designer.
The CPLD data is in MACHXL fotmat, which predates Verilog, but maybe worth converting to get the Aurora board available.
