What is firmware?

Firmware is the software stored on a device that starts the hardware and exposes a stable interface to applications. TiCON writes firmware as part of embedded systems work for electronics and IoT products.

Definition

Unlike an app you install on a phone, firmware lives next to the silicon. It usually includes a bootloader, drivers and an RTOS or bare-metal loop. Updates, when they exist, are delivered as OTA or service-tool flashes.
