Maybe you should. I am using the DE2 board and all the documentation from Altera is for the Development kit. I cannot follow any document exactly and have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how I will have to do things differently for the DE2 board. I use the textbook 'Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems' by Hamblen for reference, in which he uses the DE2 board, but that book is very, very basic as far SOPC systems are concerned. I am having a hard time. Not fun.
