h1. Nexus S Firmwares
Some hardware functionalities require firmwares to be functional.
Firmwares are programs that do not run on the main CPU: instead, they run on separate chips. Some firmwares come pre-installed on the chip and some others need to be loaded by the CPU.
*Since these firmwares are non-free software, we do not recommend using them nor do we distribute them.*
