What is the difference between hardware programming and software programming? Who is the hero? Tell me in detail!

Hardware programming is aimed at hardware drivers and the like. It should be said that it is something at the bottom. Generally, it is written in C, C++, assembly and hdl languages, which requires a certain electronic foundation such as digital logic, digital circuits and analog circuits, while software programming is mainly based on the operating system and written in high-level languages, which does not require a special understanding of the bottom layer and mainly faces the needs of users.
