(HAL) hardware abstraction layer
There are two basic categories of languages: low-level and high-level. A low-level language interacts with the hardware directly or mostly directly, so an intimate knowledge of the underlying hardware being programmed for must exist. Low-level languages are also relatively difficult to move from one computing platform to another (such as from Windows to a Mac). A high-level language abstracts the hardware, and so programming becomes more solution-oriented and less hardware-oriented. Python does not offer access to the underlying hardware directly, and allows you to perform numerous low-level instructions in just a few lines of code. Thus, since Python substantially removes the programmer from the hardware, it is a high-level language.
Low level programming language is a language that is not very abstracted from hardware layer. Programming in low level languages usually requires manual memory management, use of pointers, and in case of assembler - CPU instructions themselves. This makes the programming much more difficult than using a high level language where these issues are taken care of for you. However in general it is possible to write much 'tighter' code in low level languages. Where tighter means:- smaller number of instructions Better use of memory Faster in execution.
It's a "low level" language because it works at the machine level, while higher level languages are built on top of it.
The "machine language" and "assembly language" for each CPU architecture are the lowest-level programming languages. The "Forth language" and the "C programming language" are perhaps the most popular non-CPU-specific low-level programming languages. They were once considered high-level programming languages, and certainly they are at a higher level than assembly language, but now they are considered low-level programming languages when compared to the much higher-level languages available today (Python, Java, C++, etc). Low-level programming languages provide little or no abstraction from the CPU's instruction set architecture; typically they interact with the hardware directly.

The operating system (OS) controls the hardware. A successful computer system will have hardware and an operating system. Application software is not required. All operating systems have a low level, or machine language to run the operation system and control all hardware.
TPM
Switch networking is a term used to describe a small hardware device that joins multiple computers together by using a low level network protocol level.
Basic Input Output System is a low level software that basically tells all the hardware how to communicate. It is independent of the operating system.

The way a computer communicates with a peripheral device is through a device driver. A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.
Any 4 features of C are: - A good stepping-stone to C++ - Very efficient and portable - high level constructs and access to low-level hardware facilities - Very easy to learn
The main difference between a high-level language (HLL) and a low-level language (LLL) is the level of abstraction. HLLs are closer to human language and are easier to read, write, and maintain. LLLs are closer to machine code and offer more direct control over hardware resources, but are harder to work with due to their complexity.
the Low Low is for a Very Low level Alarm, or an emergency status. the Low is just a low level switch who activate any normal output
