The text in the screenshot is exactly what the Hebrew scripture “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” is warning against. People think of that text as an endorsement of revenge, but it’s not; it is a •limit• on retribution. It says that the magnitude of punishment must not exceed the magnitude of the crime.

In thee thy summer, ere thou be distilled:
Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place
With beauty's treasure ere it be self-killed.

Ten times thy self were happier than thou art,
If ten of thine ten…

I think the demo board firmware is getting close to... I won't say done, there is always more things I can pack in there, but "good enough to show off at an event".
I've got:
* NRZ PRBS7/31
* 2D-PAM3 PRBS-31
