Richard Hughes 85226fd9d1 Remove potentially problematic language
Red Hat wants to drive an initiative in correcting problematic and potentially
divisive language in open source projects. These naming conventions and
descriptive phrases are hurtful and offensive to many of our colleagues across
the open source universe.

8Bitdo Support

Introduction

This plugin can flash the firmware on the 8Bitdo game pads.

Ebitdo support is supported directly by this project with the embedded libebitdo library and is possible thanks to the vendor open sourcing the flashing tool.

The 8Bitdo devices share legacy USB VID/PIDs with other projects and so we have to be a bit careful to not claim other devices as our own.

Firmware Format

The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in an unspecified binary file format. The binary file has a vendor-specific header that is used when flashing the image.

This plugin supports the following protocol ID:

  • com.8bitdo

GUID Generation

These devices use the standard USB DeviceInstanceId values, e.g.

  • USB\VID_2DC8&PID_AB11&REV_0001
  • USB\VID_2DC8&PID_AB11
  • USB\VID_2DC8

Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is set from the USB vendor, which is set to various different values depending on the model and device mode. The list of USB VIDs used is:

  • USB:0x2DC8
  • USB:0x0483
  • USB:0x1002
  • USB:0x1235
  • USB:0x2002
  • USB:0x8000
