I don't know if this matches your question, but a FPGA can be programmed in VHDL or Verilog or OpenCL which is Hardware programming and - if we are talking on Software - you can run a softcore (like the NIOSII) / have a Hardcore µC (on selected devices) on chip. These processors are either programmed using the Eclipse tool coming with ALTERA QII or - at least for the hardcore (I think) - using the hardcore chip manufacturer's tool.

If you are talking on Linux - do you run Linux on the µC on the chip?
