This recent vivado licence change has just ruined my plans. I ordered a kria kr260 from abroad yesterday, which is supported in free tier Vivado license. However due to the new restrictions on free tier license, I can't stop wondering that if it is waste of money to buy vivado compatible FPGA boards if the user intends to develop on free tier?

My only experience is limited to archaic altera board and I was hoping for transferring that knowledge to vivado ecosystem. But due to this recent development it turns out I need to target an alternative ecosystem, which one do you recommend? Lattice or any other?

Thanks a lot .

Hi guys, I already have some experience on Altere de2 board (yes, a bit outdated) and Quartus IDE . My main purpose is to get a hands on experience on Vivado stack as well, not necessarily learn how to program FPGA which I already know.

My preference is towards kr260 kria board since it has richer perioherals than kv260. What else would you recommend for this price range? But I am not sure of my choice since there might enter better alternatives in the market recently.

What would you recommend?

Thanks a lot.
