question regarding firmware

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi list,

Please pardon me for posting some what off the topic question here.

I read that the driver has the reponsibility to download firmware onto
a device. My understanding of "firmware" is that it is the code that
runs IN the device without any help from the host (Hence there needs
to be a processing core in the device).

So as per this, a firmware is ONLY applicable to devices which are
actually SoC (System on chip)??

Thanks,

Rick
