Hello:
I'm study on FPGA boards, in the beginning, I bought Cyclone IV board, then i"m amazed about the numbers of FPGA boards that available, same model but different price one is 199$ and the other 6,999$ !!
why are all these difference? and how to decide to buy a general purpose board lets say ($300 - $500)?
thanks

Hi,
The different price are mainly on the type of the FPGA and the other features on the board.
If you want a Cyclone IV board, here is some information for your reference.
For beginners or students, it’ll suggest taking de0-nano (

If you would like to do more or learn more, then de2-115 (
http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&categoryno=139&no=502) would be a nice option, too.
Moreover, de0-cv (
http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&categoryno=13&no=921&partno=2) will also be a good fit for beginners, though it’s Cyclone V.
Still, it’ll depend on your needs to choose the boards.
Let me know if you have any question.
Thanks.
