Description

The Xilinx XC9500XL series is a popular CPLD series. It's 5V-tolerance, relatively low price, and many I/O pins make it a good choice for many projects.

IMO, this would be a good candiate for a new device to support by a free toolchain.

Xilinx is killing off its own non-free XC9500XL toolchain: The XC9500XL is only supported by older versions of the Xilinx WebISE tool, which itself is already deprecated in favour of the newer Vivado.

The XC9500XL being a CPLD series, not an FPGA series resulting in relative simplicity should make it easier to reverse-engineer and to target in synthesis.
