I am not very familiar with FPGA concepts since I have not used them yet
so my questions might be bit stupid. I have not used them yet because I
thought they always required non-free tools.

Don't you normally use VHDL or Verilog to describe the models? Is C used
here instead?

Thanks for the link, I'll pass it on to friends who know about FPGAs :)
