Why Should I Update My Firmware?
It is important to update the firmware (also called “flashing the ROM”) as part of regular maintenance when On Board Systems makes important changes and upgrades. In addition, specific firmware updates helps to keep the system performing optimally. Firmware updates are created for, but are not limited to, the following reasons:
- To provide critical problem fixes that ensure system stability, such as upgrades that may prevent system unresponsiveness and other issues that could put the system at risk.
- To correct product issues, such as ROM or processor functionality.
- To improve system performance or make the system more serviceable
On Board Systems has developed a simple method for updating the firmware.
What is firmware?
Firmware is a software program that is stored in Read-Only Memory (ROM). Firmware is responsible for the behavior of the system when it is first switched on and for passing control of the components to the operating system. When referring to the firmware on the board of the system, it is called the System ROM or the BIOS. System options have firmware that can be updated. For the purposes of this paper, it will be referred to collectively as “firmware.”
