Firmware is a type of software that is embedded into a hardware device. It is responsible for controlling the device's functions and features, and is typically stored in the device's read-only memory (ROM). Firmware is designed to be permanent and cannot be changed or removed without specialized hardware or software tools. Firmware is often used to provide basic functionality for a device, such as booting up the device, providing basic input/output (I/O) operations, and providing basic security features. The firmware market is a rapidly growing segment of the software industry. It is driven by the increasing demand for connected devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics. As the demand for connected devices continues to grow, so does the need for firmware to control and manage these devices. Some of the major players in the firmware market include Apple, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Samsung, and Intel. Other companies in the market include ARM, Texas Instruments, and NXP Semiconductors.
