Yes. It's a 13 MHz crystal. It's supposed to be SMD but I didn't have an SMD crystal in my spares box.
Kind regards Paul
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

I'm trying to get the xilinx soldered by a company to avoid too much stress and failure.
So I will build a few of the next version with some extra electronics (I forgot to add a 3.3V generation on this version so I need to feed the 3.3V externally at the moment).
I hope it's ready before my travel to GB in October. There is some holiday in between and my PCBs come from China which adds some weeks as well.
Once I know the price I will make a first batch of 100 ULAs (if I can afford to prepay all this).
Kind regards Paul

I wouldn't mind to prepay my ULA order and think other members would support your job this way, too. ;)
