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
An ALPS touch driver is the firmware that maintains and operates the touchpad on several brands of laptop computers. It is necessary for the proper operation of the touchpad.
There are only two types: software and firmware. A software device driver is a program written for a particular operating system to support a particular piece of hardware. A firmware device driver is also software, but it is etched onto a memory chip (ROM) or a programmable chip (PROM or EPROM). The BIOS and CMOS are examples of firmware drivers, both used to initially boot the system and load the operating system.
You are not supposed to open that file on your desktop. VLC player opens it because it uses the same extension for different file. Anyway, if you want to use the driver (firmware) you need to log in your router and use "Update firmware" field. It will ask you to show destination of the new firmware then just follow instructions.
The device which has a seperate vendor id and product id will have a firmware. During power up default boot code is replaced with the correct vid and pid by the firmware.Using these values the host associates with device with a driver.
It is located on the driver side of the engine.It is located on the driver side of the engine.
So far, no Apple product has a drive that will play BluRay.
Typically a Driver. However this can also include Firmware, and the BIOS/CMOS.
Winmodems. Also known as soft modems. Basically these are cheap little modems that have no actual firmware of their own and are meant to have all their capabilities provided by a device driver. The reason these are next to impossible to get working in Linux is because there's no actual infrastructure for device driver programmers to reverse engineer. No firmware to poke at to see what the card itself expects. Wireless chipsets do something similar, but their firmware is more static and readily available and made OS-independent.
Yes it can. You need to upgrade to the latest firmware that has the capability to read creative zen in windows explorer. Be careful about updating the firmware if you are wunning Windows Media Player 11. You will have to roll back to 10, remove few other WMP 11 related programs then reinstall the drivers, the firmware, and then upgrade it to WMP 11 and re-install the driver. It took me about an hour to do all this. At one point my zen was unresponsive with firmware not working, but folowing these steps would get you up and running. And back up everything before you do anything.
Some routers have problems with firmware. If you have problems with your router check if you have last update installed. If you do not have, install it. If it does not work your best bet is visit manufacture's forum. People usually share their problems as well solutions.
Driver? If you are meaning the computer based driver, its located in the ECM. If you are talking about the fuel suplier for the fuel injectors, that would be your fuel pump, and its located in the gas tank. Other than that, I am unsure how to answer the question.
