I'm not sure what you mean by the "magic" part here, can you please clarify?

[background: many years of writing VHDL specifically for FPGAs, using various dev boards and custom boards]

The magic part is the thing we have gotten used to with the cloud -- virtual hardware you never see and rent by the minute. Imagine having an FPGA idea and not needing to make board, pay for a dev board, or even find a dev board in your lab... Like your idea and need more? Spin up 100 more right now...
