At present we have the following achievements using the FlySky i6:

We are able to flash different official firmware to the i6 and explore each new firmware
there are hidden menus to change things like: e.g: tx voltage measurement, stick centering etc
there is secret way to enter firmware update mode
flashing the i6 using trainer port – to – FTDI/UART does not affect the bootloader code (as is understood 17/11/2015)
