Programmers, Evaluation boards, and Software

The devices are worth not very much, it is the support you get what matters. Instead of comparing devices, what needs to be compared are the software, development tools, community, and available support.


  • Atmel. Win-CUPL Design Software is provided for free. An ATF15XX-DK3 CPLD Development/Programmer Kit is available. ProChip Designer V5.0 is a pro design suite. Eval boards?. Note: the software and the kit seem to be a bit dated (Windows XP is specified, etc).
  • Texas Instruments. No software, programmers, or evaluation kits are available from TI, but generic PAL programmers can be used.
  • Altera Corporation. Several development kits are available. Some, however, are from third-party sources. Devices seem to need a lot of other devices for support on the eval boards.
