If it resided in RAM, it would get lost when you power off the system.

Which is the programme inside Rom?

The program inside a ROM (Read-Only Memory) is typically firmware, which is a specific type of software that provides low-level control for a device's hardware. This firmware is embedded within the ROM chip and is not meant to be modified or rewritten during regular operation. It enables the device to boot up and perform its fundamental functions. Examples include the BIOS in computers or the operating system in embedded systems.


What do you call software embedded in ROM?

BIOS


What is embedded system?

# A specialized computer system that is part of a larger system or machine. Typically, an embedded system is housed on a single microprocessor boardprograms stored in ROM. Virtually all appliances that have a digital interface -- watches, microwaves, VCRs, cars -- utilize embedded systems. Some embedded systems include an operating system, but many are so specialized that the entire logic can be implemented as a single program. # Embedded System is: specified purpose controller which is embedded as part of larger system. An embedded system has historically been defined as a single function product where the intelligence is embedded in the system. It could be anything from a dishwasher to a hearing aid, if that product includes a microprocessor and software. Many of today's embedded systems are looking more like PCs with user interfaces, touchscreens, displays, keypads and more. Still, these are not general function systems but are designed to perform very specific functions.


Does the bios reside in the Rom?

As a rule, the BIOS then accesses the boot sector on the boot device, which might be a floppy disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD, or a hard disk. The boot sector in turn loads a boot manager program of some kind, which starts up the primary operating system for the machine, such as Windows or Linux.


What kind of operating system that resides on rom chip inside a pda is called?

Obviously many different PDAs have different names for their operating systems. But generally you would call it an embedded operating system, as it is running on an embedded device.

Where is boot program stored in ROM and why?

The boot program is typically stored in a specific area of the Read-Only Memory (ROM) known as the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or firmware. It is placed in ROM because this memory type is non-volatile, meaning it retains its content even when the power is turned off. Storing the boot program in ROM ensures that the system can always access it to initialize hardware and load the operating system when powered on, providing a reliable start-up sequence.
