Hi Jeremy,

These boards both contain a spartan6 lx9, which is the same FPGA I have on
my lx9 micro board. It's a smaller FPGA than the nano has, so price and/or
connectivity will need to be significantly better to make it worth it. I
have managed to fit a stripped down or1200 with an UART on it, but after
adding the Ethernet mac it used up about 200% of the FPGA resources. With a
bit of optimization though I think it won't be too hard to fit an or1k
(mor1kx espresso might be a good choice considering the potential use
cases) with some SPI and I2C.

As a side note, I've started working on Xilinx support in ORPSoCv3 with the
intention on making it run on my LX9 microboard. Hopefully I can provide
some rough estimates for resource usage after that.
