look for suggestions for Opencl & FPGA

Hi

recently,I want to test the performance of opencl in FPGA, but I have no experience on FPGA.

due to limited capital, I want to buy soc board.

Can you recommend board to me , I just notcie two boards in altera web,one is cyclone V SoC Development kit and SoC Embedded Design Suitehttp://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-cyclone-v-soc.html.

another is DE1-SoC Board provided by Terasic http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=taiwan&no=927. but these two boards don't include altera SDK for OpenCl. How to get licenses of opencl SDK and quartus ? I should choose which board? or other one.

ps. To develop Opencl If I need these tools, quartus, altera sdk for opencl, EDS?

Thanks

    I recommend contacting Terasic directly to confirm if they include the "OpenCL License Bundle" with the "DE1-SoC Board". If so, that's everything you need to get started. You may ask them if they have a similar OpenCL bundle and support for their SoCKit.
