What is the difference between firmware and drivers?
Hi, the difference of firmware and drivers is the application of this piece of software. The most electronic hardware only needs firmware to run basicly. E.G. a DVD-player needs firmware to know how to read a CD or DVD. But to have it accessed under a operating system like Windows you need a driver to access the CD or DVD or watch a movie. To visualize: A car needs an engine to drive at all, but needs a person (driver!)to control it. Cheers, Menno
