- TL866 II PLUS universal programmer
- T48 universal programmer
- T56 universal programmer
- Various CAN bus equipment (out of scope for this wiki)
Glossary:
- Haikou Xingong Electronics Co.,Ltd: official company name
- XGecu: line of programmers made by Haikou Xingong including TL866, TL866II, T48, and T56
- Also known as autoelectric, but this name seems to have fallen out of use
- minipro: software to control TL866 hardware
- Notably the proprietary Windows software, but the Linux FOSS CLI software is also called "minipro"
- Confusingly the original TL866 also says "minipro" on it
