### Is there any custom firmware?
As of July 5th 2023, **no**, not yet. However efforts are underway; an SDK for the CPU has been identified, and custom firmware is now in the very early stages of development (currently, custom code execution, access to the microSD card and display, audio/video playback, and registering button inputs have been demonstrated).
