It looks like you have a microcontroller (MCU) programmed with some code and now you want to try to use an FPGA or CPLD? You didn't say what "this" is in "...moving on to this". FPGAs, CPLDs and MCUs can do a lot of stuff. Yes, it is possible to do what you want. Or at least what I understand you're trying to do. It is a matter of learning the tools and the device(s). IMHO FPGAs have a bigger learning curve than MCUs.
