   FollowerPower: Does anyone have the datasheets, pinouts and/or developer documentation for the following devices?

  • Motorola Iridium 9500
  • Motorola Iridium 9505
  • Iridium 9505A
  • Iridium 9522
  • Iridium Core 9523
  • Iridium 9555
  • Iridium 9575
  • Iridium 9575 PTT
  • Iridium 9602
  • Iridium 9603
  • Iridium 9604
  • Iridium 9704
  • Iridium DBL Interface / Port
    • It's Some cursed proprietary thing on an RJ-45 connector...

I'm about to get some of those and considering to setup a bounty to get these up and running...

  • There's like a crate of 9505 phones staring at me and all they miss are batteries, SIM cards, chargers and maybe some antennas.
    • Batteries are easy to source; worst-case gotta wire up some DC/DC adaptor to make it think it always got 3,8V or something...

And no, neither Motorola nor Iridium feel the need to make documentation available!
