I know that the FIRST firmware operates in trusted mode where as I'm fairly sure the commercial firmware does not.
Also I've noted that TI has mentioned to other people using the 'Jaguar' for non-FRC purpose they shouldn't use the FIRST firmware as the FIRST firmware has 'safety features' for FIRST (basically).

FIRST firmware versions implement safety features that allow the cRIO to disable the Jaguars when it needs to. All the operation code (PID, H-Bridge, etc.) is the same as the non-FIRST release and is available for download off of

The broken links are happening because we are slowly transitioning to TI web. You can find the getting started guides and manuals on the Jaguar Microsite either at
www.luminarymicro.com/jaguar or
www.ti.com/jaguar. You can also find the most up-to-date product pages at
www.ti.com/mdl-bdc24 and
www.ti.com/rdk-bdc24.
Note the two different pages, 'mdl' and 'rdk'. MDL is the module version (same exact firmware, but sold as an individual unit) and RDK is the Reference Design Kit that comes with more development tools to develop with Jaguar. That is why the source code is listed on the RDK page and not the MDL page.
