An RC flight simulator is a computer program that allows pilots of radio-controlled aircraft to practice on a computer, without the risk and expense of damaging a real model. Besides the obvious use of training beginners, they are also used for practising new aerobatics, evaluating a model before buying it, and to allow flight practice when ...
An option ROM for the PC platform (i.e. the IBM PC and derived successor computer systems) is a piece of firmware that resides in ROM on an expansion card (or stored along with the main system BIOS), which gets executed to initialize the device and (optionally) add support for the device to the BIOS.
Even drivers executing in user mode can crash a system if the device is erroneously programmed. These factors make it more difficult and dangerous to diagnose problems. [3] The task of writing drivers thus usually falls to software engineers or computer engineers who work for hardware-development companies. This is because they have better ...
Open Firmware defines a standard way to describe the hardware configuration of a system, called the device tree. [3] This helps the operating system to better understand the configuration of the host computer, relying less on user configuration and hardware polling.

The decision to abandon the development of Phoenix and write the Phoenix-RTOS from scratch was taken by its creator in 2004. In 2010, the Phoenix Systems company was established, aiming to commercialize the system. Phoenix-RTOS 2.0 is based on a monolithic kernel. Initially versions for the IA-32 processor and configurable eSi-RISC [1] were ...
Graphical user interface for Heimdall running on Ubuntu. Heimdall is a free/libre/open-source, cross-platform replacement for Odin which is based on libusb. [3] Heimdall can be used on Mac or Linux. [10] The name Heimdall, like Odin, is an allusion to Norse mythology; both Odin and Heimdall are among the deities of the Norse pantheon.
NDIS Miniport drivers can also use Windows Driver Model interfaces to control network hardware. [19] Another driver type is NDIS Intermediate Driver. Intermediate drivers sit in-between the MAC and IP layers and can control all traffic being accepted by the NIC. In practice, intermediate drivers implement both miniport and protocol interfaces.
