By Werner Almesberger, misctxrx.c (wait_for_interrupt): let "ignore" control printing more tightly

3- changed C7 to 1 nF to debug a signal attenuation problem. Turned out to be
4  a bad trace. According to simulations, 22 pF should be more than enough.
5
6- added wire connecting uSD-side ground plane to ground plane at outer edge,
7  to improve CLK signal return. (Probably unnecessary, too.)
8
9- the footprint of the transistor (Q1) is reversed :-( It works after
10  converting the chip from SOT to PLCC.
11
12- not an erratum, but with experiments showing power-on reset to be
13  reliable, we can consider removing the hardware reset circuit. This will
14  also simplify the layout.

16Version 20100908:
17
18- SPI activity causes the PLL to unlock. Specifically, toggling nSEL does
19  this.
20
21- work-around on second 20100908 board: replace the resistive divider with
22  a capacitative divider. See sim/cdiv.sch. This is a simple BOM change:
23
24  C7 -> 0 R
25  R3 -> 33 pF
26  R4 -> 220 pF
27
28  Applied work-around also to first 20100908 board after confirming dismal
29  performance caused by clock instability.
30
31- considering that the clock input has a Vpp of only 400-500 mV, we should
32  have a ground plane also under as much of the the clock circuit as
33  possible.
34
35- via between pins 1 and 32 is too close to the chip for DIY PCBs
36
37Version 20100912:
38
39- zone fill did not reach upper GND end of antenna. This was not intended,
40  but may be harmless or even an improvement.
