Contrary to what one might think, the Terasic DE10-nano doesn't just have an FPGA; the system also contains an ARM processor and DDR3 memory which is used with an optimized Linux kernel to interface with files-- the system can even run [https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Desktop-Linux Lubuntu 16.04] if one wanted to. The difference between a board like the DE10-nano and, say, a Raspberry Pi is the addition of an entire FPGA which handles the bulk of the system core. | Contrary to what one might think, the Terasic DE10-nano doesn't just have an FPGA; the system also contains an ARM processor and DDR3 memory which is used with an optimized Linux kernel to interface with files-- the system can even run [https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Desktop-Linux Lubuntu 16.04] if one wanted to.

The DE10-nano only includes HDMI output so the I/O board is needed if VGA connectivity is desired. |
