Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Firmware is software that is embedded into a hardware device, typically a microcontroller or other programmable logic device. It is the set of instructions or code that runs on the device and controls its behavior. Unlike traditional software, firmware is not designed to be modified or updated by the user, and is typically stored in read-only memory (ROM) or flash memory on the chip.
