HDL ISNT CODE. FPGAs don’t get firmware. HDL is a description of hardware.

  There's no need for all caps. HDL can be referred to as code. And I do know what HDL is and what FPGAs are, thank you.

    >HDL can be referred to as code. No, it can't. That's why the caps are there and I'm sticking to it. You basically justified it ;) Code is something that you design to run sequentially. HDL is a description of gates and logic that runs all at the same time. If you wanted to argue that the bitstream is firmware - that's a tougher discussion.

      If code is inherently sequential, do you think that there is no such thing as "code" in functional programming languages?
