Why do you all assume, it has to be on the FPGA. 512KB memory

be a valid base development board for now. Looks like I'll order it
early next year.

Looks at the DE0 board in detail ... Not so good, who has the Intellectual

for the device configuration?
Ben.
I don't particularly like the DE0 (straight, not NANO version) because it has
SDRAM and FLASH only, no external SRAM.
The DE0 NANO however has a fairly large Cyclone IV device with lots of internal
SRAM blocks (594Kb total).
The DE1, altho it is based on an older Cyclone II device, has an external 512KB
async SRAM on the board.
I don't quite understand the substance of your question (who has the IP for the
device configuration). Can you elaborate?
You own the IP for what you design, but Altera provides the proprietary tools to
do the design.
