You can build the VGA R2R DAC on a P160 mezzanine and run the VGA demo. I
got it up with not to much thinking. You can then start to change things and
it could be a head start. Understanding PCI and wishbone probably however is
hard work, that I didn't get by until now by only rebuilding the example.
