It looks like the OpenPleb initiative, a joint effort from Level1Techs and Gamers Nexus to get manufacturers to be more open with their protocol and interface documentation, is working! Case vendor HYTE seems interested and said they’re willing to send me some sample devices along with protocol documentation!
This is the first manufacturer I’ve seen comment on the OpenPleb initiative publicly.
Woah, that’s awesome! Do you think the documentation will be public?
They followed up with me in a DM and told me to email someone with more info. I sent an email today and one of the things I asked was if the documentation is just going to be available for me or if it is going to be public. I said I was not interested in signing any NDA and that I was planning to do another YouTube video showing how documentation is beneficial and that documentation will be on screen. Have not received an answer yet but it’s the weekend so we’ll see what they say. I’m hopeful based on the tweet that it will be public.
Got a response. They are working on preparing the documents and they will be public. They were interested in my video idea. They absolutely sound on board with the project and asked for my address to send me samples!
