EAPI, JIDA & PLD Driver

K-Station 2 including the Kontron PLD / Board Driver for new generation modules with UEFI is a replacement for former
JIDA16/JIDA32 BIOS implementations. It consists of hardware drivers providing access to features like Watchdog, I2C Bus
or GPIO implemented in the onboard Programmable Logic Device (CPLD). The Board Driver supports the official PICMG
embedded API (EAPI) and for backwards compatibility the former used Kontron JIDA32 API. The driver (Cpld.sys) and API
(Eapi.dll/Jida.dll) is available for Windows and for Linux.
