[Ronja] Ronja documentation

[Jakub Ladman]

Hello

I am the author of SPIDER, CPLD - TWISTER - rework.
I will be very pleased if someone contribute his part of work to it.
I have done new pcb layout, for direct driving of led with formerly unused 
CPLD pins with optional extensive EMI radiation preventing and with direct 
twisted pair interface to Petr Seligers receiver.
Only what stands in the way to fabricate this version of pcb is the fact, that 
i have not modified the Verilog code and not tested it if it fits into CPLD 
device as the pinout is designed.
The reason is that Xilinx WebPack, the software to design the CPLD inside, 
stopped working in my gentoo linux after some system library update.
Guys at Xilinx do support f*cking RHEL4 and 5 only, besides microshit windows.
I will place this new version to website asap.
