My desire at the moment is to develop what I can, test those integrations while testing the device, and ultimately submitting a pull request when I'm able. What I can say is that the files are simple, unencrypted binary files that have parsing libraries available in many common languages. I just finished testing the files were parsable via a short python script, and have subsequently confirmed the existence of an SDK that could assist me with some of the heavy lifting in C.

None of those currently parse binary files. So I'm not sure where to point
you.
