WinCUPL: Universal Compiler for Programmable Logic

WinCUPL screenshot BeagleSatella uses an Atmel (now Microchip) CPLD in its design, and Atmel SPLD and CPLD parts are programmed via their JTAG interface using WinCUPL. WinCUPL is a Windows compiler/simulator/programmer for SPLD/CPLD logic written in CUPL. Fortunately, this commercial software has been made available for free from Microchip. Unfortunately, the download link for it seems to be broken at Microchip's website. Even worse, it crashes a lot. Save often! WinCUPL has been mirrored here for everyone's convenience.
