AFAIK, a FPGA definition (which may be > very well what you are loading) is just "hmm, connect this port's output > in input #1 of this other port, etc, etc, etc." Go ask an engineer which they would prefer to modify -- some higher-level format that reads "connect port 1 to input 2, port 3 to the outputs of port 1 and port 9..", or a binary blob. This is why tools like Verilog exist. A formal hardware definition most definitely is software, empirically so when such a definition can be compiled and put into real hardware. -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
