What is firmware? And how does it different from Software? || LN-TECHINFO

What is firmware?

Many times or question may have come in your mind that there must be something in between to connect the hardware to the software because how would the hardware know that the software wants to do something with it.

And how will the software know what functions there are in the hardware that it can use, so we use Firmware to connect these two.

Firmware is a very small software that is saved in the inbuilt memory of a computer or a hardware and is installed in that hardware at the time of manufacturing by the company.

If you do not have Expect in the computer, then you cannot remove it because it is saved in the inbuilt memory of the hardware which cannot be easily accessed.

Firmware is used in all types of electronics such as DVD, Remote Control, Washing machine, Microwave, Smart Watch and other types of electronics because here you have to do small tasks like setting time or giving instructions, such Small software is required for the tasks that you can call Firmware Software .

The BIOS that comes in your computer is also a kind of firmware because WoW is embedded in the motherboard and without BIOS you cannot install Operating Systems in the computer.

To install any operating system you need BIOS so Firmware is very important role in adding hardware and software.

Where is the firmware store?

There is a store in Firmware Software (ROM) which has a Read Only Memory, you can neither remove nor change it, and if you want to remove it, you will have to do a lot of hard work because it is very difficult to access the ROM. .

You can not install firmware in Rom, during the manufacturing, the company automatically provides it by installing it in itself and whatever program you need to install in the hardware, it is installed by the manufacture itself and they repair it when a problem comes.

What is the difference between firmware and software?

Firmware differs somewhat from software because one is designed for the normal user and one is designed to connect the hardware to the software.

If we see the difference, then the software that we usually use such as Adobe Photoshop, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, VLC Player, etc. fall in the category of a software.

You can install the software comfortably, you can change it and this does not change our hardware because here we save in our Hard Disk, which we can easily remove and edit.

Unlike software, Firmware is for those people who are computer scientists and programmers who have to make Firmware who want to modify the hardware. Firmware is far away from a common user's access. There is a store in the ROM of the hardware , which is installed by the company itself.

Firmware is stored in ROM so that you cannot access it because if any normal user can access it, then any change in it can cause your hardware to be permanently damaged , and it can be very bad for you. Therefore, it is stored in ROM so that it remains safe.

Why update firmware?

In today's time, companies have also started bringing systems to update their hardware's firmware to add more hardware and functions and to increase user experience.

Previously we could not update Firmware, but today we can, but there is a lot of Risky work here because Firmware is very important program.

 Therefore, companies also provide tools according to their product so that you can update your firmware in the right way , but if you do not have the knowledge of computer, then I will give you Advice that you get this work done by an expert only.

Keep these things in mind while updating firmware.

• Whenever you update the firmware, keep in mind that you update the firmware from the original website itself, because if you update the wrong firmware, then your device may be defective.
• Device should not be switched off while updating the firmware. If you do this then your device can be damaged forever.
• Firmware Update Use Tools Original to which have been Provide company.
• Firmware Update to make sure you always double Czech your Model No and Version before so you can accurately Firmware Install to.

What is Firmware Hacking?

You must have heard of Software Hacking , similarly Firmware Hacking is also done because Firmware is a type of software, it also has Programming so it can also be hacked.

If there is Hacking in the software then you can fix it but you cannot fix the Firmware because you lose access to it.

If the Firmware Hack is done, then your hardware can get damaged and you can lose control from it, so Firmware Hacking is very dangerous. Hacker can easily access your hardware.

Firmware Hacking There is a large scale rather than a small scale because if there is any venerability found in a firmware, then all the devices that use that firmware become the victim of that hacking, so it is very dangerous.
