If you roll your jaguar back to the factory firmware (available at the bottom of VEX's product page), the "trusted mode" heartbeat isn't required. Last I heard, the trusted mode stuff isn't documented to prevent people from replicating it (the code is in the closed-source NetworkCommunication library. Security though obscurity I guess). AFAIK, the factory firmware is functionally identical to the FRC one, minus the heartbeat.

You can also find the source code for a slightly older version of both the factory firmware and bdc-comm in TI's RDK-BDC24 package. I have no idea whether VEX plans on making a similar release with the newest code.
