No, the fpga doesn't of itself know about the board. It doesn't know about
the devices on the board. And it doesn't know the minutiae of operation of
the devices on the board.

As to what to do, it depends on what you're trying to do. An embedded system
can use the Xilinx EDK to interface with the device, attach it to the
peripheral bus, assign it room in the memory space, and build drivers to
access and control the device from software. For a hardware only solution,
start with the device's datasheet, and build the interface circuitry in the
fpga. The "process" you can "call" to work with the device might already
exist. They're more generally referred to as IP Cores. I expect you'll find
the required IP Cores in the Xilinx tools.

"Fancy stuff" on the fpga is more properly thought of as describing and
connecting circuitry. It is not software "calls" using a strange new
programming language. I hope you'll find that distinction helpful.
