May i know what is the difference between a Cyclone III FPGA Starter Kit and  Cyclone III FPGA Development Board?

    Development Boards or Development Systems from any company are generally designed to be rather complete when it comes to being able to exercise the full functionality of a product or device. Starter Kits are designed to be much more simple and to be an easy way for inexperienced users to begin using that class of device. Accordingly, the starter kit is less expensive than the Development Board or System, but will not allow you to exercise as much of the device as will the Development Kit. This is indeed true when it comes to the Cyclone III Starter Kit and Development Board. It you have never used an FPGA before, you probably are better off with the Starter Kit.
