What is the CPLD? What does it do?

I want to know what function the CPLD fulfills on my m610. Is this somehow a part of driver updating?

Thanks,
Rob

(Complex PLD) A programmable logic device that is made up of several simple PLDs (SPLDs) with a programmable switching matrix in between the logic blocks. CPLDs typically use EEPROM, flash memory or SRAM to hold the logic design interconnections. See PLD and SPLD.

What CMC version are you using?  It looks like 2.x.

1.30, actually.  We are upgrading it tomorrow to 3.2, may have to upgrade BIOS, CLPD, and IDRAC on the M600's if they have problems with the new CMC version.

Hello Raj_Dxb,

 

In regard to CPLD it is summed up pretty well here:

 

It allows for changes to system board functions beyond what the BIOS does.

You can see if your system has a CPLD update from the support page :  https://dell.to/2IpqNpx

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
