FUTURE DIRECTION

I built the LUB because I wanted to become independent of the expensive configuration memory for FPGAs. There are other advantages too. Now one interface can program all the devices in your system. This greatly simplifies field upgrades.

I hope to add new features and support devices to the LUB system. Remember that the code is released under the GNU GPL. Commercial use is not only allowed, it’s encouraged (provided you release any changes you make to the core LUB system). Because the LUB binary will be completely separate from your application binary, this shouldn’t be a problem.

The project is hosted on Sourceforge, so you have all the standard features at your disposal (e.g., CVS access and a mailing list). Of course, it’s quiet right now, but I don’t think the software is so perfect that it will stay that way too long.
