The following table lists the EdgeX device services and protocols they support.

Device Service Repository	Protocol	Status	Comments
device-onvif-camera	ONVIF	Active	Full implementation of ONVIF spec. Note that not all cameras implement the complete ONVIF spec.
device-usb-camera	USB	Active	USB using V4L2 API. ONLY works on Linux with kernel v5.10 or higher. Includes RTSP server for video streaming.
device-camera-go	ONVIF	Deprecated	Deprecated - use the new Device ONVIF Camera service
device-rest-go	REST	Active	provides one-way communications only. Allows posting of binary and JSON data via REST. Events are single reading only.
device-rfid-llrp-go	LLRP	Active	Communications with RFID readers via LLRP.
device-snmp-go	SNMP	Active	Basic implementation of SNMP protocol. Async callbacks and traps not currently supported.
device-virtual-go		Active	Simulates sensor readings of type binary, Boolean, float, integer and unsigned integer
device-mqtt-go	MQTT	Active	Two way communications via multiple MQTT topics
device-modbus-go	Modbus	Active	Supports Modbus over TCP or RTU
device-gpio	GPIO	Active	Linux only; uses sysfs ABI
device-grove-c		2.x TBD	Connects the Grove sensor on Grove Raspberry Pi using libmraa library; Linux and ARM only
device-bacnet-c	BACnet	2.x TBD	Supports BACnet via ethernet (IP) or serial (MSTP). Uses the Steve Karag BACnet stack
device-coap-c	CoAP	Active (2.2.0 TBD)	This service is in the process of being redeveloped and expanded for upcoming release for Kamakura – and will support Thread as a subset of functionality. Currently supports CoAP-based REST and is one way communications (read-only)
device-uart	UART	in Development	Linux only; for connecting serial UART devices to EdgeX
