Burn in process with new firmware?

[thumb5]

Thanx to thumb5 for summing up the tasks of programming. It really is complex to somebody not being in this profession.

The succeeding question for me is, what does the machinecode do on the physical plane when it sits there in the cache/memory/IC and the D is fired up?

Thanks gui.  I'll extend or follow up that post with more about how the processor interacts with memory to run the program as soon as I get chance to put my thoughts in order.
