Firmware is software installed on an electronic device. It gives instructions for how the device works, similar to a OS such as Windows. Firmware is usually stored in the flash ROM of a device. While ROM stands for "read-only memory," flash ROM can be erased and rewritten because it is a type of flash memory such as a Memory Stick.
You may need to update the firmware of certain devices, such as hard drives and video cards in order for them to work with a new operating system or to fix problems they may have. Sometimes manufacturers release firmware updates that simply make their devices work more efficiently and add features. Make sure that once you start a firmware updater, you let the update finish, because most devices will not function if their firmware is not recognized.
The PlayStation Portable is one such device that offers firmware upgrades to enhance it's features and stability.
Please see this wonderful firmware FAQ. If you ever decide to upgrade to a "homebrew firmware" which is firmware not released by Sony, do it your own risk: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=918340&topic=40931944 I hope this helps Tehee This doesnt tell what u actually use it for
