  • If file /var/local/eink/dont_update is present, the waveform won't be flashed. Ever.
  • If file /var/local/eink/update_flash is present, the waveform will be flashed and then the file will be removed.

So all it takes to stop flashing the waveform is to create file /var/local/eink/dont_update . Easy peasy.
I can create a launchpad .ini file if someone's interested.
But we do want to update, right? To flash a working waveform into a replacement e-ink panel...

The update_flash file, on the other hand, might be useful (and dangerous) if it allowed any .wbf to be flashed without checking panel ID.
