What Windows/Linux versions are supported by FPGA? and other details

[pgleb]

Currently, we are considering to build our solution on technologies provided by Intel. We are interested in optimizing inference up to several milliseconds per image. As I know it is possible to reach these times using Intel FPGA. 

What Windows/Linux versions are supported by FPGA? 

What types of CNNs are supported, for example MobileNet v2? 

WIth what types of processors Intel FPGA is compatible (for example 3d generation of Core-i7)? 

Is it necessary to compile OpenVino taking into account FPGA?

Can we use OpenVino in our projects for free?

You can take a look here for OS support for Intel FPGA tools and devices:

Thank you for the answer. Could you please clarify what types of CNNs are supported, for example MobileNet v2?
