HW/SW Interface

What exactly does hardware/software interface mean? I was looking at a job application that says I should have understanding of it, but I've never seen that phrase before.

gotta be a senior software engineer with fifteen years experience with microsoft and HTML5 technologies.

in the C++ the C sharpz, the java, and the visual basic

But google made it sound like it was basically the relationship between hardware 0's and 1's kind of stuff and actual applications. I mean I took like two classes on that stuff, but I don't know exactly what to say to display I understand it.

You'll need to give a better context for this term. Could you post an example here and we can give you some definitions for what it means.

It's when you write something to a special area in memory and it gets sent to an IO port

imagine you have a piece of code in C or machine language that offers symbols that other code can jump to, but also uses the hardware IO ports to do some operation with hardware or manages memory structures, maybe outside user mode

it basically means being familiar with C and assembly, reading datasheets and manufacturers manuals, but yeah with better context better answers would come

"HW/SW Interface understanding preferred" That's all the application said, word for word. I think it should be enough to mention that I know C and understand how it breaks down into assembly.

sure, brush up with device drivers and you should be gtg
