DE10-Nano vs QMTech's Clone

We’re at an interesting time in the FPGA gaming ecosystem. These devices have gained so much popularity that electronics manufacturers are building hardware specifically for use by the MiSTer project. In this video, I dig into one of these boards, released by the FPGA development board maker, QMTech. This low-cost Cyclone V development board has taken the community by storm by offering the MiSTer experience at a fraction of the price. But how does it compare to Terasic’s DE10-Nano board? Join me in this analysis of QMTech’s board, and find out how it compares to original board made by Terasic.

QMTech Cyclone V Dev Board with SDRAM - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/325680... Correction: 4:53 I was wrong here - this is a transistor, not a voltage regulator. This transistor rapidly switches on and off to reduce the input voltage. This is often called a "switching transistor".
