You could always transform this from a hardware problem to a software

JDB.
I am in complete agreement with this kind of solution. Sampling on the
second channel a reference signal of known value allows the software
to make a simple adjustment.
Such a double-frequency conversion cancels fairly well the transfer
oscillators frequency and jitter, as long as it is sufficienly low.
No need to switch on the soldering iron...
Never do in hardware what can be done in software.... :-)
Respectfully I disagree. There are tasks which is better managed by
software and tasks which is better managed by hardware. In the world of
FPGAs, it is also worth mentioning that some tasks is best done there.
The big trick is to find a balance between various methods, available
resources, partitioning of the problem, doing it on time and achieving
the needed performance.
There is an overbeleif in what software is suitable for IMHO.
