Fire Engine CPLD

The CPLD device, on Fire Engine SOMs shipped as part of a development kit, is in an un-programmed state. A programmed CPLD is not required for microprocessor, memory, or on-chip peripheral functionality.

The CPLD program that Logic has developed gives the system additional functionality (such as a Memory-Mode CompactFlash interface). Please read the CPLD license agreement below for more information on gaining access to CPLD programming files.
