The device driver. Device drivers are programs which allow software or higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. These software components act as a link between the devices and the operating systems, communicating with each of these systems and executing commands.
Firmware hacks usually take advantage of the firmware update facility on many devices to install or run themselves. Some, however, must resort to exploits to run, because the manufacturer has attempted to lock the hardware to stop it from running unlicensed code. Most firmware hacks are free software.
An over-the-air update (or OTA update), also known as over-the-air programming (or OTA programming), [1] is an update to an embedded system that is delivered through a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi or a cellular network. [2] [3] [4] These embedded systems include mobile phones, tablets, set-top boxes, cars and telecommunications equipment.
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.
Using another lower-level device driver (e.g. file system drivers using disk drivers) Simulating work with hardware, while doing something entirely different [9] For software: Allowing the operating system direct access to hardware resources; Implementing only primitives; Implementing an interface for non-driver software (e.g. TWAIN)
In embedded systems, a board support package (BSP) is the layer of software containing hardware-specific boot loaders, device drivers and other routines that allow a given embedded operating system, for example a real-time operating system (RTOS), to function in a given hardware environment (a motherboard), integrated with the embedded operating system.
A driver in software provides a programming interface to control and manage specific lower-level interfaces that are often linked to a specific type of hardware, or other low-level service. In the case of hardware, the specific subclass of drivers controlling physical or virtual hardware devices are known as device drivers.
