-
In computing, firmware is a computer program that is embedded in a hardware device, for example a microcontroller.
It can also be provided on flash memory or as a binary image file that can be uploaded onto existing hardware by a user.
As its name suggests, firmware is somewhere between hardware and software.
Like software, it is a computer program which is executed by a microprocessor or a microcontroller.
But it is also tightly linked to a piece of hardware, and has little meaning outside of it.
