Honored Contributorwhere do I start?
Hi every one I want to learn how to use FPGAs but I don't know where to start or what should I study first. I know about microcontrollers but nothing about HDL or FPGAs. Does anybody knows a go...

Honored ContributorAlmost everything that you can do with digital logic you can do in an FPGA. So yes, all of the examples you cited you can place in an FPGA.
As for necessary knowledge, it really depends on what you're wanting to do with the FPGA. The examples you cited would require basic knowledge of digital design and probably one HDL, like verilog. Knowing how to read the schematics of the dev board would be helpfull too. There's also some learning curve with Quartus II, but the basics are not difficult.
