PS: I understand the cost involved in doing this, but the best person to write these BSPs are the engineers/company that manufactured the board if this is the technology they want to promote...

Here is where it starts to get interesting. In the board support you can put ultra-efficient Verilog code in the BSP and then call that out from OpenCL. I realize that someone who just wants to learn OpenCL might as well download the Intel Processor OpenCL SDK. But if you want to know about reconfigurable computing this is the way to go. In the FPGA version you need to think about how to pipeline your code because that's when the FPGA gets the most powerful performance. OpenCL on FPGAs is not for the beginner. Nothing on FPGAs are for beginners. Power users only at this time. When the FPGA manufactures decide to make it easy it will be but they have to change their devices and basic software to make this work for the beginner.
