There's an exemption from Section 1201 for "Computer programs that control devices designed primarily for use by consumers for diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of the device or system".

Are you allowed to share how you repaired the software? Because if not then what I said stands, he cannot sell these little Raspberry Pis or publish information on how people can build them themselves. That's one of the problems Louis Rossmann has been talking about in regards to the FULU bounty program.

That's news to me. Do you have a source for that I can look at? Not being snarky. I would legitimately like to read more about this.

Probably refers to regulatory exceptions that aren't in the statue directly, which are updated every 3 years:

I see in the "final rule" for 2024 (PDF) a section titled "11. Computer Programs—Repairs of Devices Designed Primarily for Use by Consumers", although it seems to indicate that nothing changed, as opposed to telling you what stayed the same.
