Yes it can be hacked. Look at the first post in this long thread for the required links. Firmware 2.1 has issues so I recommend that you upgrade it to firmware 2.3, but no higher version, then hack it as a FW2.3
Hey folks,
I have an E6 with 2.11.0 firmware. I searched through all the pages after the posting of the files for doing the upgrade on the 2.11.0 firmware, and I cannot find anything about doing this to the E6. I found a couple people over the course of the thread asking this same question, but nobody answered it
Does anyone know if this is simple to do?
I'm going to attempt to downgrade to 2.3.0 first, and see if I can do the update that way. If it doesn't work, what else can be tried?
if anyone is still afraid to permanently hack his\her i3\i5 here is simple step by step guide

1. power on camera
2. press menu button once
3. press play (gallery) button for 5 seconds
4. switch to RNDIS usb mode
5. install flir drivers on your pc
6. connect camera to pc, give it a minute to install and start
7. connect to camera's ftp server at 192.168.0.2 user:flir password:3vlig with ftp client capable of passive mode i.e. total commander
8. make full backup of filesystem to a secure location
9. download mike's crc01 tool from this https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/flir-e4-thermal-imaging-camera-teardown/msg321956/#msg321956 post
10. install some proper text editor i.e. notepad++ (and enable showing all characters in view \ show symbols)
11. open backup\FlashFS\system\appcore.d\config.d\conf.cfg
12. remove last line that saysCode: [Select]# CRC01 ????????
13. replace number at the end of ||.caps.config.image.settings.resIR int32 X|| with value from ||.caps.config.image.settings.fpgaResolution.resIR int32 X||*
14. save changes as new file
15. use crc01 to calculate checksum of this file
16. open backup\FlashFS\system\appcore.d\config.d\conf.cfg file again, do the same resolution modification and replace checksum with calculated one
17. save changes as new file that you will upload to camera (in extra step i have changed attributes and date & time of new file to be the same as old one, but this is most likely unnecesary)
18. connect to ftp again, and upload created file overwriting one that sits in \FlashFS\system\appcore.d\config.d\conf.cfg (or check mike's post just under this one and let us know)
19. unmount & disconnect camera, use reset button in battery compartment to reboot it
it worked for me, i don't take any responsibility for anything but merely sharing what i did described as good as i could, do it at your own risk
*Code: [Select]* Z-cam has a detector with 80x80, 120x120 or 144x144 pixels.
Frame rate did not change, you may have to read a bit more than a dozen pages to know that. As to firmware version you will have a better chance for an answer if ask about a particular version number.
