DE10-Nano

Terasic Cyclone V SoC board widely used for Intel FPGA education, Linux-on-SoC labs and MiSTer-style retro FPGA work.

Short verdict: community-supported learning. Critical characteristics must be checked against sources before purchase or external wiring.

Intel tool version and license mode must be checked for the target OS and course lab.
