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.

    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...

    Should I push for a software update?

    We have a MG4 SE SR which is due its first service. The dealer has said "the only software updates that will be carried out as standard will be the software update for the lane assist. The only other time that we are allowed to do software updates is if you have any particular concerns with...

    40000 Service, software update

    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...

    Software meddling

    It's nothing to do with EVs, and just a proposal at this stage, but Renault have said that for the Clio from around 2020 models they can introduce software which will limit the top speed of the car to 110 kmph. This will be for new probationary drivers who can voluntary, or their parents can...

    R63 upgrade software - maybe

    My XPower was upgraded to R63 yesterday. The dealer left a USB stick in the car, which seems to have MG software on it, so may be the stick that was used to do the upgrade. If the contents may be of any use to anyone let me know. I've no idea how, or even if it can be used.

    Is this the software update we have been waiting for....

    Just watched this review of the new MGS5 and it looks like MG have implemented a personal setting feature that lets you store the MG Pilot settings for single touch recall. I guess the question is will this be available on older MG4 platform cars or only the new MGS5 and new MG4 when it arrives...
