I know what is actually a firmware. |
| 41 |
But I don't understand. I need to emerge a firmware which will be stored |
| 42 |
directly on my hardware ? Firmwares that I know (many intelligent |
| 43 |
devices) are in the devices. There is a specific procedure to upgrade |
| 44 |
this (when it's possible). |
