Can you flash VESC Hardware with BLheli firmware?

Hello,

I am currently investigating various ESC solutions for our project. VESC is definitely one of the best options. I wanted to ask if it is possible to flash VESC hardware with BLHeli_32 firmware and have the ESC function properly as per BLHeli_32 firmware's functionality? Also, just to clarify, the intention here is to of course use the VESC hardware with VESC firmware as an ideal solution, however, to also investigate if another firmware would work on the same hardware?

I will be grateful for a quick reply clarifying this query. Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Ali.
