Odin is a utility software program developed and used by Samsung internally which is used to communicate with Samsung devices in Odin mode (also called download mode) through the Thor (protocol). It can be used to flash a custom recovery firmware image (as opposed to the stock recovery firmware image) to a Samsung Android device .
On Samsung devices, (excluding the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus devices), power, volume down and home has to be pressed for entering ODIN mode. This is a proprietary protocol, and tool, as an alternative to fastboot.
Samsung Kies (/ ˈ k iː z /) [1] is a freeware software application used to communicate between Windows or Macintosh operating systems, and Samsung mobile phone and tablet computer devices, usually using a USB connection (though wireless LAN Kies connectivity is now possible using some devices).

Init does mount the partitions. dm-verity verifies the integrity of the partitions that are specified in the fstab file. dm-verity is a Linux kernel module that was introduced by Google in Android since version 4.4. The stock implementation only supports block based verification, but Samsung has added support for files. [8]
Drivers that may be vulnerable include those for WiFi and Bluetooth, [19] [20] gaming/graphics drivers, [21] and drivers for printers. [ 22 ] There is a lack of effective kernel vulnerability detection tools, especially for closed-source OSes such as Microsoft Windows [ 23 ] where the source code of the device drivers is mostly not public (open ...
For modern simpler devices, such as USB keyboards, USB mouses and USB sound cards, the trend is to store the firmware in on-chip memory in the device's microcontroller, as opposed to storing it in a separate EEPROM chip. Examples of computer firmware include: The BIOS firmware used on PCs
In computing, a class driver is a type of hardware device driver that can operate a large number of different devices of a broadly similar type. Class drivers are very often used with USB based devices, which share the essential USB protocol in common, and devices with similar functionality can easily adopt common protocols.
