In general, firmware and kernel are two different things. Firmware is a type of software that is embedded in a hardware device and is responsible for controlling the device's basic functions. On the other hand, a kernel is the central part of an operating system that manages the system's resources and provides services to applications.
When you swap the firmware of a hardware device, it is possible that the kernel may also change, but it depends on the specific device and its architecture. In some cases, the kernel may be part of the firmware, while in others, it may be separate and can be updated independently.
Changing the operating system, firmware, and kernel of a device can be a complex process, and it depends on the device and the level of access you have to it. In some cases, it may be relatively easy to modify the firmware or kernel, while in others, it may require specialized knowledge and tools.
