When you program in C, the knobs that you’re setting are the bits of a file or flash memory.

When your program in Verilog, the knobs are the bits of a bunch of LUTs.

Insisting to call it configuration is not only pedantic. It is also not used this way by anybody else. And it’s confusing because it overloads a term that is used universally by all FPGA tools.

It’s hard to see how that makes it any different than just wrong.

Imagine the following conversation in isolation:

“Hey John, what are doing today?” - “I’m configuring my FPGA!”

Ask anyone in the field what is being described above. I guarantee you that nobody would answer that John is writing RTL.
