I have been asked to do SPI and I2C drivers for Pico cards.
   
    I am trying to grasp what the practical use of either could be in an
environment where neither SPI nor I2C are going to be able to
communicate outside the FPGA.

    I am guessing that SPI and I2C implementations already exist for
Xilinx FPGA's - any chance that drivers might already exist ?

    I would prefer not to charge a client to reinvent something that
exists, or that can not serve a useful purpose.

    I am not trying to imply that SPI or I2C are not useful, just that
they are communications channels, and unless  they have outside I2C or
SPI hardware to talk to what purpose might they serve ?
