Data sheets are usually 'accurate' as far as they go. I'm often working with pre-production samples so not everything _quite_ works and sometimes it's just handy to experiment and see for yourself what happens. As for getting a new C++ image on new hardware, usually it's just a few days for something basic.

I see! I meant on existing hardware, as an alternative to typing a command in a REPL. I was thinking that recompiling and reflashing might be somewhere between 100 milliseconds and a minute.
