Well, they don't even specify whether or not source code is available. Some 
IP core vendors distribute netlists custom-built for a particular 
application - you never get access to the source code.

In that case, it wouldn't matter whether or not you had experience with 
FPGAs - you still wouldn't (in practise) be able to tell if it could do 
LDA,X or not!
