The ExeFS header is 0x200 bytes long and follows this structure:

| 0x08 | 0x04 | ARM Code Offset* |
| 0x0C | 0x04 | ARM Code Length |
| 0x10 | 0x06 | Always 'banner' |
| 0x16 | 0x02 | Reserved |
| 0x18 | 0x04 | Banner Offset* |

* Offsets are non-inclusive of the header's size(0x200 bytes).
** The 'Logo' is not a compulsory part of ExeFS, so an ExeFS without a 'Logo', will have these entries of the header filled with zeros. .
