Explanation
Firmware Definition: Firmware is a type of software embedded in hardware devices. It provides low-level instructions that control the basic operations and initialization of the device. ROM Storage: Firmware is typically stored in Read-Only Memory (ROM) or other forms of non- volatile memory, meaning it persists even when the device is powered off. Booting: Initiates the hardware and loads the operating system. Hardware Control: Provides an interface between the hardware and the operating system. BIOS: The firmware on PCs is often referred to as BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).
