![]() At the moment FuChunks are sometimes mutable, and sometimes immutable, and it's all a bit too low level for comfort. Before we can do any kind of optimisation or verification we need plugins to stop reading directly from the C structure. The aim here is to make FuChunk optionally mutable without making assumptions about the memory model, and also to be able to introspect it for the docs. |

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
External interface access
This plugin requires read/write access to /dev/bus/usb
