Using Custom Arduino Firmware

I just updated my Rpi to the latest software, then it got stuck at the updating Arduino firmware stage (I don’t have an Arduino). Have you locked the Rpi software to the Arduino? Do I just need to supply the correct response to the F83 request to pretend my interface is an Arduino in order to avoid the firmware update?
Thanks,
Jon
