The design should work with most of the Spartan-3 development boards out there (eg. Spartan-3 Starter Kit, Basys, Nexys, Discovery or similar). This small project has been a lot of fun and reminds me of the happy days of phreaking using blue box, the art of finding that working 'break' (tone combo) for an unsuspecting toll-free switch board in a country far away somewhere. Now we can enjoy finding the perfect glitch for PS3 instead. ;) More info regarding the project can be found in the wiki, and if you have suggestions or just want to comment try this forum topic. The VHDL source code is released under GPL v2.

Features:
* Cycle exaxt pulse generator process tested with logic analyzer
* Digital Clock Manager (DCM) primitive @ 200MHz (5ns) with lock handling
* Continuous pulse or one-shot mode selectable via switch
* Debounce handling for push buttons to prevent erratic behavior
* Set the LOW and HIGH pulse length multipliers via buttons
* 7-seg LED display support showing HIGH and LOW pulse multipliers
* Open source release under GPL v2"
