It is my understanding, though I could be wrong, that the FIRST firmware differs from the commercial firmware.

I know that the FIRST firmware operates in trusted mode where as I'm fairly sure the commercial firmware does not.

Also I've noted that TI has mentioned to other people using the 'Jaguar' for non-FRC purpose they shouldn't use the FIRST firmware as the FIRST firmware has 'safety features' for FIRST (basically).

This leads me to wonder if I'd be wasting my time reverse engineering the source code. Though frankly, in a more commercial sense, I can't imagine being told to reverse engineer the source code for a commercial controller just to get a block diagram of the transfer function or the proper tuning procedure.

Is it just me or does this link not work:
