I'd want to use the programmable logic to build a (mostly) digital
interpolation, either something along the lines of the 5370, or digital
interpolation of the clock using DCM's like I did on a Spartan-3 years
ago. On that device, I could achieve a 16-fold resolution increase by
use of the clock management devices.
I'm currently trying to replicate my old digital clock interpolation
setup on the Xilinx/Digilent Arty board, with the aim of locking a Rb to
GPS.
Another goal is to get a DDMTD going on the Arty board for clock
comparisons.
