The other part that people complain about is not
knowing the meaning of
the programming data stream for a CPLD or FPGA., and only being able to
get that data stream by using the vendor's proprietary tools. That's a
different problem, and there are even more reasons for that than there
were for not publishing programming algorithms.
Well, yes...
It prevents you from fully understnading what you design has been turned
into. So you can;'t fully predict how it's goign to behave. It prevents
you suign the RAM-based PPGAs as self-reconfiguring curcuits.
I cna think of no plus points at all...
