17 years agoPerhaps the title of your post should have been "Please justify me in using a DE1/DE2 for image processing". In the end, all the boards are about the same. They are FPGAs with memory and I/O. The only thing that distinguishes them is the amount of memory and type of IO.
You write the code for the FPGA so it does whatever you want it to. You can use the NIOS if you want to but you certainly don't have to. If the DE1 or DE2 have the memory you need and the I/O you need then go ahead and use one of those. Jake
