[[Firmware]] is a kind of software which controls the operation of a computer at a basic level. It is intended to evoke a middle ground between [[Hardware]] and [[Software]].

In [[QNAP]] [[NAS]] devices, firmware refers to the operating system which controls the NAS device. This is in contrast to applications software which runs on NAS device to do useful things. For example, a music media player would be applications software.
