You can't do this. Motorola could have done
this and supplied Apple with the data. Apple
could have done it as follows:

1. install firmware that _immediately_ checks the
   temperature

2. power off the hardware and let it sit until
   it matches the room temperature

3. power on, save data, power off

4. put the hardware in an oven and let it sit
   until the temperature is stable

5. power on, save data, power off

6. install normal firmware, plus saved data

Skip steps 4 and 5 if you only want one
calibration point.
