| 3 | The various integrated circuits found on a mobile device run small pieces of dedicated software that are called firmwares, when powerful enough. |
||
| 4 | Thus, these programs do not run on the main processor: instead, they are executed on other integrated circuits. |
||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | Some firmwares come pre-installed on the integrated circuit while some others have to be loaded to the circuit by the main processor and are usually distributed along with the system. |
||
| 7 | *When those firmwares are proprietary, they are not distributed along with Replicant, nor do we recommend using them.* |
