This question is very vague in nature.
Firmware is software that a device runs and is typically the lowest level of code. For example a remote for a TV runs what can loosely be described as firmware. A wireless router runs a more sophisticated firmware.
Software drivers are typically instructions to an operating system (Mac OS, Windows, Linux) on how to operate a connected device. This device could be a printer, USB device, mouse, keyboard, web cam etc.
Usually in order for a firmware to be compatible with software drivers they are designed to work together by the manufacturers or third party developers. Unless one possess thorough knowledge of both devices, one would be hard pressed to configure their correct interaction.
Contact the manual or manufacturers for more specific technical support.
Firmware, Operating System, and Utilities.
Drivers. Drivers is like a middle-ground between software and hardware. It takes input from software and translates them into instructions the hardware can understand. Firmware is the software that the hardware is already programmed. Firmware is what allows hardware to "think" for itself.
Device drivers and firmware(Example: Bios).Operating system(Example: Windows).Servers.Software development tools.Utility software.
A device driver is software that allows the operating system to communicate with hardware devices. While drivers can be stored in firmware, they are often installed on the operating system itself and can be updated independently. Firmware typically refers to low-level software programmed into hardware components, while device drivers serve as a bridge between the OS and the hardware. Therefore, not all device drivers are embedded in firmware, but some can be part of it.
There are only two types: software and firmware. A software device driver is a program written for a particular operating system to support a particular piece of hardware. A firmware device driver is also software, but it is etched onto a memory chip (ROM) or a programmable chip (PROM or EPROM). The BIOS and CMOS are examples of firmware drivers, both used to initially boot the system and load the operating system.
Canon copier firmware or harddisk software?
This software is called firmware.
I need canon ir8070 firmware
Firmware, Operating System, and Utilities.
my understanding of the term firmware is that it is software that runs the hardware of a system
firmware is a technical name of computer and its accessories like window is a software and the harddisk that stored on computer is firmware.
because firmware can never be erased because firmware can never be erased
