Neither Takis or QMtech cyclone V boards break any of Terasics IPs they are not 1:1 copies of the PCB even
They are simply MiSTer compatible boards with removed hardware and functionality that the project doesn't use
The DE10 is just a collection of off the shelf parts with nothing proprietary to Terasic
The QMtech board is even open source with schematics available on GitHub
The MiSTer project has a commercial license and Taki has even donated to the project direct
Terasic has no stake in the MiSTer project, The DE10 was a cheap off the shelf dev board that was released at the right time.
The MiSTer prototype used a different board
If Terasic brought the price back down to what it was early 2021 there would be no need for the cheaper compatible boards, they created the gap in the market
Robert Peips MiSTer PS1 core has a commercial license too like the rest of the project

Re: Feature: MiSTer Pi Is Our Pick For The Best Retro Hardware Of 2024
@sdelfin
No limited supply with the DE10 nano. Mouser and Digikey have had plenty of stock for some time
Re: Here's A Better Look At The Promising "All-In-One" MiSTer FPGA Console, Multisystem 2
The issue is the MiSTer based consoles being produced in China by Taki
Three models all rumoured to come in the less than the price of the DE10 so £225 max
The flagship model MiSTer functionality is only a 1/3 of the product and they will all have injection moulded cases not 3D FDM printed
It might be a hard sell for Heber
Re: True "All-In-One" MiSTer FPGA Multisystem 2 Console Is Coming In 2025
Might have some stiff competition seeing as Taki/Retroremake has three custom consoles based MiSTer in the works
I believe all including the flagship will cost less than the current price of the DE10.
Re: To The Shock Of Absolutely Nobody, Sega Is Trying To Shut Down The SuperSega FPGA Project
The whole project was a scam especially after the PCB was picked apart and shown to be rubbish
Everything they have shown is on the edge of very questionable
Its no wonder Sega want it shut down
