Perhaps a command to checksum the installed firmware would be a good solution, rather than one-time write? I would hate to make the module useless if the communication protocol changed or a new feature was added next year. The new Jaguar firmware this year gave even the oldest ones an automatic voltage ramp capability that they did not posses before, as well as a more graceful re-enable after brown-out.
