I’ve always been confused—how is firmware related to software? Is firmware just software with hardware control functions, or something else?
Is firmware a software?

Yes, firmware is indeed a type of software, but it’s quite different from regular applications. It’s a low-level software embedded directly into hardware devices, controlling their basic functions. Unlike typical software, firmware is closely tied to the physical components and often stored in non-volatile memory. In e-commerce platforms, for example, tools like Magento abandoned cart settings rely on firmware in devices to ensure smooth communication between hardware and software, enhancing the overall user experience. Firmware acts as the bridge that keeps devices running efficiently.Comentario
