If I remember right, most of the "operating system" was linked statically into the game images (AFAIK at least the DirectX libs, not sure about any low level "firmware" stuff). I'm pretty sure there was no concept of "hardware drivers" though.

The original xbox actually had a real os based on the windows 2000[1] unlike it's competitors like the PSX [1]-https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/21/21265995/xbox-source-code-leak-original-console-windows-3-5 https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/21/21265995/xbox-source-code...

  The original XBox didn’t compete against the PSX. It was one generation later competing with the PS2, DreamCast and GameCube

    The Dreamcast was discontinued just as the Xbox was preparing to launch, so they didn't really compete.
