Hi everyone,

in the past months I was working intermittently on reverse engineering the file format used by Extron for their control systems drivers.

The idea would be that, since old IP Link devices are discontinued and available for cheap on eBay, normal users could pick them up and use for personal projects, just as I did.

But of course Extron will not support you in writing new drivers if you're not a customer.

After writing a tool to unpack and repack .pkn/.pke files, I was able to write my custom drivers for IP Link devices.

I decided to collect all my findings in a wiki, so that anyone can replicate what I did.

Please enjoy and feel free to ask any question and/or contribute on GitHub.
