I imagine you can, unless they somehow encrypt the image, and modify the
bootloader on the Pi.

Could you just take the SD card out, clone it, then put it into
another Pi and make your own cheap Cambium controller?

Most of the code is just opensource OS for the Raspberry Pi. I
imagine there's a proprietary USB driver for the injector and
controller software.. big deal.
You're already paying over a grand for the CMM5 injector
itself.. Charging that much for what amounts to a glorified
homebrew management solution is a bit insulting.
...and the only reason I opened it, was because something was
rattling inside as we took it out of the packaging. I opened
it up to find the 5VDC connector just dangling, not connected
to the Pi. A drop of hot glue could have fixed that. Hell, I
hot-snot the crap out of all my Arduino projects by default,
to keep this shit from happening.

You couldn't write the software for it for $100.
Are you looking at a prototype or a finished product? Link?

No doubt, but for $800, I would expect something a bit
more um.. rugged. I can build this for about $100.

$700-900 for a $35 Raspberry Pi controller, a
DC-DC regulator, and a metal box?
Looks like OpenWRT-type Linux distro with LuCI
web interface, and a module to control the CMM5.
Seems a bit steep, no?
