Hi wst170,

The Terasic boards are all very nice. They come with schematics, and the boards have lots of features. The DE0-nano is a nice low-cost simple board to get started. The DE-series of boards are all pretty nice too.

Have you thought of a project you'd like to implement? If not, think of one, figure out what kind of I/O you think you will need, and then ask which board to buy.

Some of Terasic's more recent boards have Arduino shield headers, so they might be a good option if you want to interface to the real-world.

Cheers,

Dave
