Currently https://opendevicedb.org/ reads: --------------------------------------------------- Before you reverse engineer a device, check if someone already did. An open directory of devices whose protocols or firmware have been reverse engineered, so nobody — human or AI agent — redoes work that already exists. --------------------------------------------------- and https://opendevicedb.org/about/ provides a bit more info about the WHY. As far as I understand that, the intent of https://opendevicedb.org/ is not a complete list of devices which are supported by whatever operating system for arbitrary end-users but instead for device driver software developers a list of devices which do not support a published standard so reverse engineering of protocol or firmware is needed to make device driver software.
