Terminology defined

[sonof40]

Can someone explain the differences in terminology between Firmware and Software for each of the following:

Application
AirCraft
RemoteControl
Battery

Ok, here is my answer...

Software is a general term for the various kinds of programs used to operate computers and related devices i.e. DJI Go or Litchi.

Firmware is a computer program that provides the low-level control for the device's specific hardware i.e. Aircraft, RC and battery.

Application <-> Software
AirCraft <-> Firmware
RemoteControl <-> Firmware
Battery <-> Firmware

Thanks so much. I think terminology is used so interchangeably that one can lose track.
