The non-FRC firmwares are included in the freely available development software from TI - there are separate ones for the grey Jags and black Jags.

Grey Jag kit: http://www.luminarymicro.com/products/rdk_bdc.html

Black Jag kit: http://www.luminarymicro.com/products/rdk_bdc24.html

Scroll down to the "Software Updates" section of those pages, and you'll see download links for the Firmware Development Package Software - you need to register to download. After you install the software, you'll see the firmware sources and binaries under INSTALL_DIR\boards\rdk-bdcXX. The Grey Jag firmware is qs-bdc; the Black Jag firmware is qs-bdc24.

Latest rev of the non-FRC firmwares is apparently 5961; the latest we've used is 5821 but have never had problems with any of the control modes in any of the non-FRC firmware.

As a side note our team (#2607) also ported the 2CAN cRIO plugin to run under Windows, and we use that to control the 2CAN from the PC. We've requested a firstforge project to post the code but it hasn't been approved/created yet.

Hope that helps!
