![]() Future metadata from the LVFS will set the protocol the firmware is expected to use. As vendors love to re-use common terms like DFU for incompatible protocols, namespace them with the controlling company ID with an approximate reverse DNS namespace. This also allows more than one plugin to define support for the same protocol, for instance rts54hid+rts54hub and synapticsmst+dell-dock. |

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.
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
