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.
Just hold on a second here.

Are you telling me I have to pay you $200+ to get the source code so I can analyze it and determine what should be a readily available piece of information to the people that programed this PID function?



Please tell me that's not what you're telling me.

What is the difference between the links you just provided and this:
http://www.luminarymicro.com/products/rdk-bdc24.html

Because on that previously provided link the RDK CD is available for free download.
