Re: VM finally post news on bridge mode - superhub
It's not that simple (the hardware/software divide) - this may clarify things.....

Today, in some circles, the word firmware has evolved to sometimes even denote application-level programs stored in NAND flash or NOR flash memory (such as in mobile phones and similar products). However, a more fundamental definition would still be fixed or semi-fixed data in a hardware device. This may include ROM and/or PLA structures for microcode and other data in a processor implementation as well as the low level machine code stored in ROM or flash memory running on that processor (i.e. many products use several levels of firmware). Microcode and other data in an application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs) would also fit that definition very well. The same could be said about programmable logic devices which may have configuration data stored either as internal fuses, in a ROM, or in a flash memory (used much the same way as a ROM or EPROM).
