Hello. I believe similar questions are present on the forum before mine. But I specifically want to know aside from the peripherals difference (RAM, SDCard, VGA etc.), is it ideal to assume the HDL designs (except the peripherals IP) would be compatible with both of them if one is supported by some project.
For instance, lowRISC has a guide based on Nexys for its core booting Linux (https://www.lowrisc.org/docs/untether-v0.2/fpga-demo) whereas SiFive E310 has been demonstrated on Arty.
The LiteX project supports both the boards (at least from the code base it looks so).
Can someone experienced with this please guide me. I'm inclined towards the Nexys version as most of the peripherals I would be interested in are present on board, but I certainly don't want to have limited capabilities for certain projects compared to Arty.
