Touch LCD for DE10 nano and compare with BeagleBoard

[Altera_Forum]

Hi experts 

I'm coming from microcontroller worlds and want to start learn FPGA and embedded Linux  Is that kit good choice for start ?? Also is cyclone v soc FPGA better than sitara Ti application processor that have almost every thing ready from industrial and motion control and artificial intelligence point of view?? Finally can I implement LCD controller to connect touch LCD for that kit ?? Thanks for advice

Hi, 

   --- Quote Start ---   Is that kit good choice for start ??  --- Quote End ---   Yes, you can add on the daughter cads and enhances your design.    --- Quote Start ---   Also is cyclone v soc FPGA better than sitara Ti application processor that have almost every thing ready from industrial and motion control and artificial intelligence point of view??  --- Quote End ---   I can't comment on the sitara. We have constrains in cyclone V SoC like we can't use all the interface available in HPS. due to IO constrains    --- Quote Start ---   Finally can I implement LCD controller to connect touch LCD for that kit ??  --- Quote End ---    Yes you can use VEEK kit for the LCD with Cyclone 5 SoC kit. https://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&categoryno=66&no=1060  Best Regards, Anand Raj Shankar (This message was posted on behalf of Intel Corporation)

TI sitara functions very well as a microcontroller / processor, and a lot of universities / courses use one of its development kit for teaching embedded related materials. FPGA on the other hand is different as you will be using HDL (instead of C++, for example) to develop hardware functions in the device itself.  

 So the answer is, depends on what you want to learn :)
