Define Microprogramming

A

Can mean intermediate, small scale computing engine that was
used to separate a common software (compiler) interface from a hardware instruction set.

Or refers to the replacement of any
complicated piece of logic hardware by a miniature, extremely simplistic piece of sequential hardware
that cycled through the contents of a ROM and interpreted the contents to generate control signals.
