You don't. Users have no direct access to the Apple firmware.
Macintoshes do not have a BIOS setup screen
Firmware is the name given to the set of programs that are an integral part of the operation of a computer's hardware. They enable to hardware to function properly and allow software to run on the hardware. It is called firmware because it's not software not hardware as well
its hardware that contains firmware
Yes, a micro-controller is hardware. It is the hardware that the firmware and/or software.
No. Firmware is a special piece of software on a device that controls it. The modem is considered only a hardware device.
my understanding of the term firmware is that it is software that runs the hardware of a system
It is actually a Firmware
Firmware is the software that is used either inside of certain hardware things (e.g. MP3 players) or to connect between a hardware thing and a computer.
The function of firmware is to keep all of the hardware working at full capacity. There are usually many updates to firmware after the initial release that would help the hardware to function properly throughout its life.
Firmware refers to the system software of a hardware device. Custom firmware takes the place of normal firmware, often adding functionality aspects to the system.
This software is called firmware.
Firmware is a type of software that provides low-level control for a device's specific hardware. It acts as an intermediary between the hardware and higher-level software, enabling the operating system and applications to interact with the hardware components. Typically stored in non-volatile memory, firmware is essential for booting up the system and ensuring that all hardware components function correctly and efficiently. Without firmware, the hardware would not operate as intended.
Firmware is a special class of software that acts as controls on a hardware device. In some cases manufacturers will need to update firmware to provide new functionality that wasn't ready at launch or to fix non-physical bugs with the hardware.
