Quiz: How many macrocells is needed to initialize MMC card (nonSPI mode) and
configure and FPGA from bitstream file on the card?

Answer: 20 PLD macrocells!

256 PLD cells can be alot. depends how they are used

but I would not go with SJA1000+PLD (unless restricted to those component by
definition) waste of time and human resources
