#133998 - Maybe...

Richard Erlacher said:
The CPLD doesn't have to be reprogrammed every power cycle ... It has non-volatile program memory. Once programmed, it stays that way...

But then the same could be said of the microcontroller, couldn't it? - and there are plenty of applications for for In-System and In-Application (re-)programming of microcontrollers...

Maybe he's after something like that?

Just a thought...

[update]
Just re-read the original post, and he does specifically say,
So we don't need reprogramming by PC after power off.
Maybe he has just not understood that the CPLD is non-volatile?
Maybe he's actually using a volatile FPGA, and is erroneously calling it a CPLD?
Is there such a thing as a volatile CPLD?

So, clarification required from Jecksons Ben...

   Things of the sort can be done...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Why do you need to do that?            01/01/70 00:00
