hardware device, for example a microcontroller. It can also be
provided on flash EEPROMs or as a binary image file that can be
uploaded onto existing hardware by a user.
As its name suggests, firmware is somewhere between hardware and
software. Like software, it is a computer program which is executed by
a microprocessor or a microcontroller. But it is also tightly linked
to a piece of hardware, and has little meaning outside of it.
