Richard Hughes 2e1245728f Call the superclass directly from subclassed devices
This allows a device subclass to call the parent method after doing an initial
action, or even deliberately not call the *generic* parent method at all.

It also simplifies the plugins; you no longer have to remember what the plugin
is deriving from and accidentally clobber the wrong superclass method.

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.
