This is very good to know. I was ultimately unable to discern anything useful from the .so files, which are made even more complex since none of the functions return anything and instead just update some pointers with who knows what kind of data (per the headers, at least). This starts to give some insight into what I'd need to do to rewrite them.

I have absolutely no idea where to begin if I'd need to rewrite the firmware for the Talon, however. Hopefully CTRE is able to help.
