It has been 15 years, since I last tried to program an FPGA. It was difficult then. My rough recollection was that we first wrote the code in software, taking about 1 week. Then 6 weeks to implement on the FPGA. Mainly, you have to express everything in much greater detail and debugging / "compiling" takes significantly longer.

Also, in general, these components require operations similar to cudaMemcpy to explicitly move the data and then "launch" the computation.
