No, that stuff is "secret". The microcode is
available only as raw
binaries, and the driver's job is to talk to the microcode; not the
hardware directly. So, we're talking about Linux kernel space only;
no DSP code.
When you say "available as binaries" I take it that it's still running on
board the card's ROM? (ie microcode implemented within the card, not the
host.)
