This is good.  The LED blinks faster before you download code to the board.  So
if it slows down, you've gotten FX2 firmware downloaded (the .ihx file)

You need to use the new 2.4 tarballs that Eric put out yesterday, or just use
CVS.

The rbf file should be in the new tarball.  It is the FPGA bitstream.  Also, all
the files of interest are in .../rev2.  Rev1 is the prototype that nobody out
