Firmware
is the RCX or NXT operating system software. It is to your RCX or NXT
what Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, or any flavor of Linux is for your PC or Mac. Thus, it runs in the background as the platform for your user-written
programs. Prior to the first time you program your NXT or RCX with
RoboLab, you must download the RoboLab firmware onto your NXT or RCX.
This takes about one minute for the NXT and about 5 minutes for the
RCX. Firmware that is "100 times faster" will not have a shorter
download time. Instead, faster firmware will allow each of your
programs to run faster. It is 100 times faster at translating
your program into commands that can be executed by the RCX or NXT
"brain."
