Firmware

Firmware is a type of software that’s built directly into hardwareHardware refers to the physical components of a computer system or electronic device, as opposed to ... More devices like smartphones, routers, and printers. It gives the device the basic instructions it needs to work and communicate with other parts. Unlike regular software, firmware stays in place even when the device is turned off. Sometimes, firmware updates can improve how a device works, fix issues, or make it more secure.

Think of firmware as a conductor for your device. It keeps all the parts working together smoothly, so the device can do its job just as it should.
