Even g2 protocol

Let's reverse engineer the EvenRealities G2s! By reverse engineering the BLE protocol, developers can understand how to call G2 services, unleashing the true potential of the G2 smart glasses in a true open-source environment.

I have been reverse engineering the Even Realities G2 smart glasses BLE protocol. If you are interersted in joining this effort, please do! The project is first published in 2025. Key topics include: evenrealities, g2a, g2b, mentraos, smartglasses.

Even Realities G2 Smart Glasses - Protocol Documentation

I have been reverse engineering the Even Realities G2 smart glasses BLE protocol. If you are interersted in joining this effort, please do!

What the hell does that even mean???

The G2 glasses use a custom protocol created by EvenRealities. This BLE (bluetooth) protocol is used to transmit data in packets to and from the glasses. Currently, the G2 glasses are restricted to the functionality offered in the Even app - reverse engineering the BLE protocol removes this restriction.

Documentation

Protocol Files

  • proto/ - Protobuf definitions for payload encoding

Key Findings

CRC Algorithm

  • Type: CRC-16/CCITT
  • Init: 0xFFFF
  • Polynomial: 0x1021
  • Scope: Calculated over payload bytes only (skip 8-byte header)
  • Format: Little-endian

Packet Structure

[AA] [21] [seq] [len] [01] [01] [svc_hi] [svc_lo] [payload...] [crc_lo] [crc_hi]

Architecture

The G2 uses a dual-channel design:

  • Content Channel (0x5401): What to display (text, data)
  • Rendering Channel (0x6402): How to display (positioning, styling)

Contributing

Pull requests welcome! Areas needing research:

  • Navigation turn-by-turn protocol
  • Even AI request/response format
  • Translation feature
  • Display rendering commands (0x6402)
