EPLD image
The Cisco Nexus 3636C-R and 36180YC-R NX-OS mode switches contain several programmable logical devices (PLDs) that provide hardware functions in all modules. Cisco provides electronic programmable logic device (EPLD) image upgrades to enhance hardware functions or to resolve known issues. PLDs include electronic programmable logic devices (EPLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), but they do not include ASICs. In this document, the term EPLD is used for FPGA and CPLDs.
