- As I understand it this is going to be difficult. The maximum effective
- clock frequency of the TPU is the system clock divided by 4. If you have a
- 25 MHz part (and these are new) the highest TPU clock is 6.25 MHz. So, you
- just can't do the 12.288 MHz thing. I think that the external clock input is
- similarly band-limited; so, I don't think you can even use the TPU to divide
- down an external 12.288 MHz signal. Suggest using the old clock and two
- flip-flops as before.

- Good Luck with your project ...
