Solution

Firmware is programs that allow low-level control of a hardware. In the case of analog and digital acquisition devices, the chassis where it is being used controls the module without needing a firmware.

There are some C series devices that do need a firmware, however. The most common ones are NI-XNET, CANopen, DeviceNet and SoftMotion Drive Interfaces. Refer to the Related Link section documentation on updating firmware for these devices.
