Thanks. I read that, but it's pretty wide-open to interpretation. We ended up settling on our own demarcation between software and firmware, but it's a silly distinction; there are multiple smaller processors on the peripheral that have their own code, and then there's the main host processor that runs linux (that one's pretty clearly "software"), but which one of the little processors' versions do we choose for "firmware?"
Anyway, I've decided it's not that critical.

For example, is firmware the version of the software running on the BLE112 module, and software the version of the software running on our peripheral? It seems this is not appropriate (as it highlights the distinction between our peripheral and the BLE112 module within it).
