Generate patterns through CPLD(MAXII)?

I'm new to FPGA/CPLD. Could any one help me? I'm wondering if I can use CPLD/FPGA to generate some patterns to output pins? This is for some simple test purpose. For example, under 50MHz clo...

I am thinking about how to create a platform in order to have direct access to these MCUs.

What do you mean by 'direct access'? You commented on accessing the flash on these devices, but the flash is internal. The only way to get to the flash is via the JTAG port on the device, and while you could implement that using an FPGA, what is the point, just buy a cheap JTAG interface.

Perhaps you could clarify what you want the FPGA to be able to do to the microcontroller.
