How does firmwware executes? Is it loaded into memory and process created ?
In: Technology
Devices that have firmware usually have a little computer (or microcontroller) of their own, on which it’s executed. Like routers, smart refrigerators, digital watches and such.
Firmware is what runs the thing (OS, basically), it creates functionality for the thing and sometimes provides communication with other devices, like computers or whatever.
Also, it’s kind of important to make distinction between firmware and drivers. They’re a bit different thing.
