The firmware contains the microcode necessary to interface with the demodulator chip. It parses the Baseband Frame (BBFRAME), applies Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) decoding, and strips the Physical Layer Framing (PLF). The firmware is responsible for dynamic Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) tracking. It must read the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) from the demodulator registers and, if configured, send return-link feedback to the hub to request modulation changes (e.g., transitioning from QPSK 1/2 to 16APSK 3/4 based on fading conditions).
