MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller
The board utilizes the EPM2210 System Controller, an Altera MAX
II CPLD, for the
following purposes:
■
FPGA configuration from flash memory
■
Power consumption monitoring
■
Virtual JTAG interface for PC-based GUI
■
Control registers for clocks
■
Control registers for remote system update
