The document explains firmware as a semi-permanent software on hardware devices that facilitates communication, while middleware serves as a 'software glue' offering services to software applications beyond those provided by operating systems. Examples of each include embedded systems and game engines respectively. Additionally, it outlines the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phases, including planning, analysis, design, development, testing, and maintenance.

4. Firmware
 Firmware is a software program or set of instructions
programmed on a hardware device. It provides the necessary
instructions for how the device communicates with the other
computer hardware.
 It is held in non-volatile memory devices such as ROM, EPROM,
or flash memory.
 Firmware can be thought of as "semi-permanent" since it
remains the same unless it is updated by a firmware updater.

5. Examples of Firmware
 Embedded systems
 Traffic lights
 Digital watches
 Mobile phone
 Digital camera
 Remotes
 Consumer appliances
 Computers & Computer peripherals
Almost all electronic devices beyond the simplest contain some firmware.5

6. Middleware
 Middleware is computer software that provides
services to software applications beyond those
available from the operating system.
 It can be described as "software glue“.
 Middleware makes it easier for software developers
to perform communication and input/output, so they
can focus on the specific purpose of their application

7. Examples of Middleware
 Integration: Tools for data or process integration such
as an enterprise service bus.
 Transactions: Platforms for executing business
transactions such as market trades.
 Data Access: Database access services.
 Application Framework: A toolset for building
applications such as an API for developing mobile apps
on a particular operating system. 7

8.  Device Middleware: A toolset for developing
applications for a particular hardware environment.
 Game Engines: Frameworks for developing games
that implement services such as graphics
rendering, physics simulations and game scripting.
 Robot Middleware: Services for building robots
such as robot control and simulation frameworks.8

10. Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Planning
 Find out the problem
 Plan to solve
 Report to the preliminary investigation
Analysis
 System Requirements analysis
 Data gathering and analysis
 Report to the management
10

11. Design
 Preliminary Design
 Prototyping
 Final design
Development
 Development starts
 Programming or Coding
 Organized manners

12. Testing
 Test plan
 Debugging
 Documenting the programming
Implementation & Maintenance
 Auditing
 Evaluation
 Maintenance
