Firmware definitely would not be on the filesystem layer or even accessible on the block device.

  You'd think yeah

    It isn't. Before a chip has firmware loaded, it can't decode filesystems.

      Even after a chip has firmware loaded, which controller can make logical sense of a filesystem?
      • goodburb 2y ago
        According to SDXC specs, the controller looks for exFAT markers to relocate the table and bitmap to smaller AU units. exfatprogs can pack bitmap with table for SDHC and lower: https://manpages.debian.org/experimental/exfatprogs/mkfs.exfat.8.en.html https://manpages.debian.org/experimental/exfatprogs/mkfs.exf...

      That doesn't at all mean that the firmware can't be exposed through the filesystem. Is that a bad idea? Almost certainly. Is it possible? Absolutely yes.
