CF cards can typically be run in a IDE emulation mode which simplifies things considerably. The simpest IDE interface is pretty simple -- I think it is 8 16-bit I/O ports. If you are using the TINI Java OS, you will no doubt need to do this in a native method to make it fast enough. Also, I wonder if a IDE interface will run in 8-bit mode. Otherwise, will need to do the 8-16 bit conversion in the CPLD.
