新的IEEE标准-非活动撤销。 撤回标准。撤回日期:2001年1月15日。固件是一种基于只读存储器（ROM）的软件，在计算机开机和主操作系统控制机器之间控制计算机。固件的职责包括测试和初始化硬件、确定硬件配置、加载（或引导）操作系统，以及在硬件或软件出现故障时提供交互式调试设施。IEEE Std 1275-1994规定的核心要求和实践必须由系统特定要求补充，以形成特定系统固件的完整规范。本标准规定了与IEEE Futurebus+A？定义的总线体系结构相关的附加要求？标准: ISO/IEC 10857:1994[ANSI/IEEE Std 896.11994版]，信息技术微处理器系统未来总线-逻辑协议规范；和IEEE Std 896.2-1991:未来总线的IEEE标准-物理层和剖面规范。

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. Withdrawn Standard. Withdrawn Date: Jan 15, 2001. Firmware is the read-only-memory (ROM)-based software that controls a computer between the time it is turned on and the time the primary operating system takes control of the machine. Firmware's responsibilities include testing and initializing the hardware, determining the hardware configuration, loading (or booting) the operating system, and providing interactive debugging facilities in case of faulty hardware or software. The core requirements and practices specified by IEEE Std 1275-1994 must be supplemented by system-specific requirements to form a complete specification for the firmware for a particular system. This standard establishes such additional requirements pertaining to the bus architecture defined by the IEEE Futurebus+¨ standards: ISO/IEC 10857: 1994[ANSI/IEEE Std 896.1, 1994 Edition], Information technology-Microprocessor systems-Futurebus -Logical protocol specifications; and IEEE Std 896.2-1991: IEEE Standard for Futurebus -Physical Layer and Profile Specification.
