I want to know if the X2c family (coolrunner II) have a non-volatile
program memory inside its package: I would like a non-volatile memory
(eeprom...) that contains the "programs" also
when it's extinguished (and with a number of macrocells comparable with
a small/medium fpga).
However I would know the name of a low-power, non-volatile program
memory family (CPLD).
Another question: can I use the XC9500 programmer (seen
here: http://www.xilinx.com/support/programr/files/0380507.pdf) to
program the X2c family (or where I can find some programers for the
CPLD package)?

Thanks
Duccio

Yes, the Coolrunners store the configuration in
nonvolatile FLASH memory.

The JTAG cable in your link works for programming,
but you may have to go back a few Webpack versions.
Xilinx has dropped support for the simplest cables
from the software. Not sure about this particular one.

Kind regards,
