Hi. Does this mean modify the actual FW on the cam?

@gtxaspec I created a Proof of concept with my code: w2s.zip. The idea is to use unused aback partition to hold the external packages and mount it at boot. The partition is only 4MB, there is also a 2MB kback which is used by stock firmware for device-specific info backup. If we modify the kernel to "merge" 2 partitions we would have 6MB. I'm not sure how far we can go with that small amount of storage. I'm not sure if this helps but really hope it does!
