Does Intel FPGAs (not SoCs) support eMMCs?

Hi all. The goal is to store data into NAND or eMMC flash device. During some search, I didn't find any FPGA dev. kits with eMMC or NAND more than 2 Gb. Also, in that doc - https://www.intel.com/con...

Hi,

With the SoC in the board, the following flash devices mentioned in the document can be used both as a boot source and for mass data storage.

This techniques is to boot the board from an external flash device and also use it as data storage;

Just like normal computers using SSD(Solid State Drive) or HDD(Hard Disk Drive) to boot the OS of your computer, at the same time the SSD or HDD that have the OS installed in, can be use to store your data as well.

Hopes this help.
