FPGA implementation projects will use a Terasic DE2i-150 development board, as shown below. The DE2i-150 features an Intel Atom N2600 processor and an Altera Cyclone IV GX FPGA, along with a variety of standard I/O peripherals (USB, Ethernet, VGA, etc.). The DE2i-150 ships with Yocto Linux pre-installed. My recommendation is to stick with Yocto, rather than installing a more mainstream distribution, as the objective of this course project is not to perform operating system modifications, but instead to focus on application development and acceleration using the FPGA.
