At the moment, we have no idea what the current firmware or settings are, unless you recorded them at the last change.
Suggestion:
Have the firmware write a text file to the SD card containing the firmware version, and the settings, in the same format as the settings .bin file. It could be named Info.txt.
On power up:
1. Write the file if it doesn't exist on the card..
If file exists:
2. Overwrite the file if the current date is greater than the date on the file.
You can just display the file to see what the settings and FW are at the time, and if you need a fresh display, such as after making changes, just delete the file, insert the card, and power the camera up, and it will write the latest info.
Ideally, the GUI config utility should also import this file if it exists, so you can see what the current settings are without having to open the text file also, and copy everything over to the GUI.
