Move the boards folder to new repositories

Browse source 
To simplify versioning and isolate the different parts of the projects
to their own repositories, these hardware parts are moved to separate
locations.

- tk1, mta1-usb-dev, mta-usb-v1 and mta1-library moves to
  https://github.com/tillitis/tk1-pcba
- tp1, mta1-usb-programmer, mta1-library and KiCad-RP Pico moves to
  https://github.com/tillitis/tp1
- Relevant documentation referring to these boards are also moved to the
  new repositories, links are updated to point to the new location
- The CERN-OHL-S license is removed from this repo
- CI is no longer building the TP1 firmware

# Tillitis PCB designs
## Introduction
Tillitis develop boards (PCBs) and enclposures for the TKey devices as
well support systems such as FPGA programmers. Tillitis use open source
tools for the PCB designs.
## Boards
The KiCad board projects all follow this directory structure:
| Path | Description |
| --- | --- |
| /project | KiCad 6 project |
| /project/gerbers | PCB release files |
| /project/test | Scripts / gateware used for production tests |
### TKey 1 (TK1)
![](../../doc/images/mta1-usb-v1.jpg)
This is the first production version of the TKey design.
Main features:
* Miniaturized hardware the size of a small USB stick.
* The Interface FPGA from the MTA1-USB-DEV design has been replaced with an Interface
MCU running a USB-to-Serial converter firmware. This was done to ease development
of the FPGA design.
* A touch sensor IC is provided instead of the switch for user presence detection.
* Test pads are provided on the bottom of the board for programming the SPI flash,
and also for measuring extra GPIO pins. The 'MTA1-USB-V1-Programmer' board is
designed to support this.
### mta1-usb-v1-programmer
![](../../doc/images/mta1-usb-v1-programmer.jpg)
This is a programming jig for TKey 1 (the mta1-usb-v1) board The progamming board is based
around a on a Raspberry Pi Pico running a custom firmware developed by Blinkinlabs.
The source code for this firnware [is available on Github](https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/ice40_flasher).
There is also a [pre built firmware binary available for the programmer board](https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/ice40_flasher/tree/main/bin)
### mta1-usb-dev
![](../../doc/images/mta1-usb-dev.jpg)
This is the original TKey design, intended as a development platform. It is a larger PCB,
that connects to a PC via a USB C cable.
Main features:
* 2 ICE40 FPGAs.
* The first ICE40 (Interface FPGA) is connected to a USB C plug, and is loaded with a
gateware that contains a soft USB device. This gateware acts as an USB-to-GPIO
interface to the second ICE40.
* The second ICE40 (application FPGA) is loaded with a RISC-V soft core containing
the security firmware. User applications are run on this gateware.
* The second ICE40 also has an input button for user presenence detection.
* An FTDI module is included for programming both the Application and Interface FPGAs.
* Both ICE40s can be configured to boot from included SPI flash memories, NVCM,
or be live programmed from the FTDI module.
* All GPIO lines between the two FPGAs, as well as all programming signals, are
exposed on 0.1" headers for probing.
## Libraries
### mta1-library
This is a shared KiCad library for all boards in the project.
### KiCad-RP Pico
This is a KiCad library for the Raspberry Pi Pico symbol and footprint. It was extracted from
the [Kicad-RP-Pico](https://github.com/ncarandini/KiCad-RP-Pico) project. It is licensed under
