software

Software is a set of computer programs and associated documentation and data. This is in contrast to hardware, from which the system is built and which actually performs the work.
At the lowest programming level, executable code consists of machine language instructions supported by an individual processor—typically a central processing unit (CPU) or a graphics processing unit (GPU). Machine language consists of groups of binary values signifying processor instructions that change the state of the computer from its preceding state. For example, an instruction may change the value stored in a particular storage location in the computer—an effect that is not directly observable to the user. An instruction may also invoke one of many input or output operations, for example, displaying some text on a computer screen, causing state changes that should be visible to the user. The processor executes the instructions in the order they are provided, unless it is instructed to "jump" to a different instruction or is interrupted by the operating system. As of 2023, most personal computers, smartphone devices, and servers have processors with multiple execution units, or multiple processors performing computation together, so computing has become a much more concurrent activity than in the past.
The majority of software is written in high-level programming languages. They are easier and more efficient for programmers because they are closer to natural languages than machine languages. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler, an interpreter, or a combination of the two. Software may also be written in a low-level assembly language that has a strong correspondence to the computer's machine language instructions and is translated into machine language using an assembler.

    MG5 not charging.

    About 10 days ago I planned a journey of some 210 miles return, so 105 each way. Car was at 94% charged, range 256, so plenty 'in the tank'. I put the granny charger on to bring it up overnight to 100%. The charger plug went in fine but 10 seconds later unlocked itself. I tried a few more times...

    Out with the old and in with the new (MG4 Trophy for another Trophy)

    Balloon payment on my existing 22 plate Trophy was coming up so opted to top a little bit for a newer Trophy to reset the mileage etc. Delivered today and as somewhat expected the infotainment and, I suspect, other software updates have not been applied. Back to R40 instead of R59 on my...

    Software from factory

    Following on from this article - LKA Concerns Is this referring to the R63 update? Should factory order cars automatically come with R63 installed? or is it something you need to request pre-delivery?

    Infotainment updates

    Is it still not possible to update some of the cars software yourself, it is such a drag not having OTA updates, it looks like many things can be updated via the engineering menu.

    ACC cutting out intermittently

    Has anyone out there had the ACC switch off while engaged🤔 It seems to do it randomly and is easily switched back on, but has only just started doing it after a software update to cure the bluetooth pairing problem.

    When will MG fix the auto start feature?

    I just bought the MG4 and noticed that the auto start feature was so bad UX. The case: Sitting in the car to wait for family to do grocery, just a little movement starts the electric system automatically and turns on the light, that makes another car think that I will drive away and wait for me...

    Time taken for software update

    Why does it take 45mins to an hour to do a software update? I'm sitting in a garage twiddling my thumbs while they're doing an upgrade from R21 to R38 plus the SC077.

    Software updates

    I purchased a mg5 22 plate car august last year. In my ownership I have had it serviced by a respectable company but I haven't taken it back to MG for any work. I can only charge my car on public chargers that go to 50kw Max. Is that normal or is my car needing a software update. Any advice...

    Just had my ZS EV first service (40,000) in Australia. Dealer told me that there was a software update required as part of a recall (surprised they hadn't already told me about it!). Anyway, I wrote down my software version pre service, and it was the same post service. How can I tell if...

    To Update MG4 software or Not?

    I'm a pensioner now but for decades I was always at the front of the queue for technology and especially hardware/software updates. Over the last few years I've gone by the saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it". Very soon I will be having my first MG4 service and to be honest (and touching a...
