Unlike most Intel-based Macs that use EFI-based firmware, these Apple silicon-based Macs uses a boot ROM that loads the Low-Level Bootloader (LLB), similar to that of the firmware found in the iPhone and iPad. Like Intel-based Macs with a T2 security chip, the startup tones are absent.

Another type of firmware chip was found on the IBM PC AT and early compatibles. In the AT, the keyboard interface was controlled by a microcontroller with its own programmable memory. On the IBM AT, that was a 40-pin socketed device, while some manufacturers used an EPROM version of this chip which resembled an EPROM.
As originally used, firmware contrasted with hardware (the CPU itself) and software (normal instructions executing on a CPU). It was not composed of CPU machine instructions, but of lower-level microcode involved in the implementation of machine instructions. It existed on the boundary between hardware and software; thus the name firmware.
UEFI requires the firmware and operating system loader (or kernel) to be size-matched; that is, a 64-bit UEFI firmware implementation can load only a 64-bit operating system (OS) boot loader or kernel (unless the CSM-based legacy boot is used) and the same applies to 32-bit.
Luigi Mangione was charged with four federal crimes Thursday in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The federal charges are significant because they open the possibility of him ...
When you get a message from a "MAILER-DAEMON" or a "Mail Delivery Subsystem" with a subject similar to "Failed Delivery," this means that an email you sent was undeliverable and has been bounced back to you. These messages are sent automatically and often include the reason for the delivery failure.
