Hi Michael,
What's the logic relationship between the CF/ATA signals and signals to
blackfin you set in the CPLD? Even after we connect a 1000Ohm res to
ground, the interrupt output to blackfin is still high. It seems the
CPLD is outputing high but not keep tristate in default status. So we
have to keep the probe-polling patch until the CPLD logic is fixed.
Thanks
Barry

Well not that easy - I used a 0603 type 10k Resistor Pack including 4
resistors.

One trick could be to leave the PULL-Ups as is and add a stronger
Pull-Down to the INTRQ - lets say something between 500 Ohm and 1kOhm .
