Yea i realize it's undoubtedly a dumb question.
Whats the difference between firmware and software? My new OBD adapter says update the "firmware" to the latest version and says you can do it via PC or phone. Does this mean the firmware updates the device itself and not the thing running it? Aka the files get loaded onto the obd adapter and not the phone or laptop?
The reason I ask is because I couldn't get the update to work on my computer but it did work on my phone, but if I now use the device on my laptop is it still "upated"?
