If only one of these methods are possible, it would, in my opinion, be best to have booting from SD or internal without replacing the firmware, thus having the reader boot OpenInkpot every time it loads until the user deletes it from memory.
Have decisions been made on this topic?

Whilst nothing's set in stone at the moment (it's still early days!), it looks likely we'll be able to offer users both options i.e. install into the firmware, or boot from SD.

I think there's already a trac ticket for this feature, but website's offline
