To me, it might as well be randomly selected words in Swahili.
Until two days ago I had no real idea about module firmware either. I mean, I knew the what and why of firmware versions, but I have never attempted to update a module, let alone inject different software into it.

Bottom line though, it's really not that difficult. The retrofit too seems a big deal, but in reality it's just wiring. Nothing magical at all, just wiring :-)
