12 years agoI found that there were way more reference designs applicable to me on the NEEK board. The LCD and related design are nicely integrated into a nice compact (and portable) unit. I wanted to move to a newer FPGA platform, though, so I went with the Helio View kit this time around. It's like NEEK but uses the Cyclone V SoC device, and includes HDMI ports instead of VGA. It's quite new, so not so many reference designs yet, but if NEEK was any indication, that should change pretty quickly.
