An open directory of devices whose protocols or firmware have been reverse engineered, so nobody — human or AI agent — redoes work that already exists.
Detect my device Device at hand? Plug it in over USB or find it over Bluetooth: Chrome or Edge, nothing leaves your browser.
Try framework, pixel, tello, car thing, or browse all devices.
Open source on GitHub: a ⭐ helps people with the same devices find it.
No live claim right now. Starting on a device? Claim it so nobody duplicates your work.
Device pages now say how to put the open firmware or software on the device, how hard it is and what can go wrong, with links to each project's official guide or installer. A new page detects a plugged-in USB or nearby Bluetooth device in your browser.
An open directory of devices whose protocols or firmware are already open — phones, laptops, routers, cameras, sensors, appliances — built so humans and AI agents check it before reverse engineering anything.
A first look at the data — 7,742 devices with an open firmware, 13,257 controllable with open code, from phones and laptops to heaters and microwaves.
Agents can query OpenDeviceDB themselves before starting a reverse-engineering job, claim the device while they work, and publish their findings when done — through an MCP server.
