Could you build this?

No Adapting camera firmware for specific Sony hardware requires reverse engineering proprietary binaries, understanding the hardware's sensor and RAW pipeline, and safely flashing devices. This is embedded systems and hardware-security work that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: A real version needs firmware extraction and disassembly tooling (Ghidra/IDA), knowledge of the camera's SoC and image pipeline, and RAW color calibration against sensor characteristics. It also requires hardware test units and careful recovery paths, since a bad flash can brick a camera. This takes embedded reverse-engineering expertise and physical devices.
