OpenBitdo SDK

OpenBitdo SDK includes:

• bitdo_proto: protocol/transport/session library
• bitdo_app_core: shared firmware-first workflow and policy layer
• bitdo_tui: Ratatui/Crossterm terminal app
• openbitdo: beginner-first launcher (openbitdo starts guided TUI)

Build

cargo build --workspace

Test

cargo test --workspace --all-targets

Guard

./scripts/cleanroom_guard.sh

Hardware smoke report

./scripts/run_hardware_smoke.sh

TUI app examples (openbitdo)

cargo run -p openbitdo -- --mock

Beginner-first behavior

• launch with no subcommands
• if no device is connected, OpenBitdo starts in a waiting screen with Refresh, Help, and Quit
• if one device is connected, it is auto-selected and ready for action
• choose Recommended Update or Diagnose from large clickable actions
• for JP108 devices (0x5209/0x520a), Recommended Update enters a dedicated-button wizard:
  • edit A/B/K1-K8
  • backup + apply
  • guided button test
• for Ultimate2 devices (0x6012/0x6013), Recommended Update enters a core-profile wizard:
  • choose slot (Slot1/2/3)
  • set mode
  • edit RC mapping slots (A/B/K1-K8) with known controller-button targets
  • view/edit L2/R2 analog values when capability supports writes
  • backup + apply
  • guided button test
• firmware path defaults to verified recommended download; local file fallback is prompted if unavailable
• update transfer requires one plain-language I Understand confirmation
• detect-only PIDs stay read/diagnostic-only with a clear block reason
• mouse support:
  • left click for primary actions
  • right click on device rows for context menu actions
  • scroll wheel to navigate device list/detail panes
• support reports are TOML only
  • beginner mode: failure_only (default) or always
  • advanced mode: failure_only, always, or off (with warning)
• advanced mode is toggled from About (t or click) and persisted to OS config TOML
• advanced report hotkeys after a failure report exists:
  • c copy report path
  • o open report file
  • f open report folder
• open About from home (a key or click About) to view:
  • app version
  • git commit short and full hash
  • build date (UTC)
  • compile target triple
  • runtime OS/arch
  • firmware signing-key fingerprint (short with full-view toggle, plus next-key short)

Packaging

./scripts/package-linux.sh v0.0.1-rc.1 x86_64
./scripts/package-linux.sh v0.0.1-rc.1 aarch64
./scripts/package-macos.sh v0.0.1-rc.1 arm64 aarch64-apple-darwin

Packaging outputs use:

• openbitdo-<version>-<os>-<arch>.tar.gz
• openbitdo-<version>-<os>-<arch> standalone binary
• .sha256 checksum file for each artifact
• macOS arm64 additionally emits .pkg (unsigned/ad-hoc for RC)

Release Workflow

• CI checks remain in .github/workflows/ci.yml.
• Tag-based release workflow is in .github/workflows/release.yml.
• Release tags must originate from main.
• v0.0.1-rc.1 style tags publish GitHub pre-releases.
• Release notes are sourced from /Users/brooklyn/data/8bitdo/cleanroom/CHANGELOG.md.
• Package-manager publish runs only after release assets are published.

Public RC Gate

• No open GitHub issues with label release-blocker.
• Scope-completeness gate:
  • JP108 RC scope is dedicated mapping only (A/B/K1-K8).
  • Ultimate2 RC scope is expanded mapping for required fields only.
• Clean-tree requirement from /Users/brooklyn/data/8bitdo/cleanroom/RC_CHECKLIST.md must be satisfied before tagging.

Distribution Prep

• Homebrew install path for public RC:
  • brew tap bybrooklyn/openbitdo
  • brew install openbitdo
• Homebrew Core inclusion is not required for v0.0.1-rc.1.
• Homebrew formula scaffold: /Users/brooklyn/data/8bitdo/cleanroom/packaging/homebrew/Formula/openbitdo.rb
• Homebrew tap sync script (disabled by default): /Users/brooklyn/data/8bitdo/cleanroom/packaging/homebrew/sync_tap.sh
• Tap repository: bybrooklyn/homebrew-openbitdo
• AUR package sources:
  • /Users/brooklyn/data/8bitdo/cleanroom/packaging/aur/openbitdo
  • /Users/brooklyn/data/8bitdo/cleanroom/packaging/aur/openbitdo-bin
• AUR package names:
  • openbitdo
  • openbitdo-bin
• Release metadata renderer:
  • /Users/brooklyn/data/8bitdo/cleanroom/packaging/scripts/render_release_metadata.sh
• AUR publish workflow:
  • /Users/brooklyn/data/8bitdo/cleanroom/.github/workflows/aur-publish.yml
  • gated by AUR_PUBLISH_ENABLED=1
• Homebrew publish path:
  • release.yml renders checksum-pinned formula and runs sync_tap.sh
  • gated by HOMEBREW_PUBLISH_ENABLED=1
• macOS .pkg caveat:
  • unsigned/ad-hoc is accepted for RC
  • notarization required for v0.1.0

Hardware CI gates

• required:
  • hardware-ultimate2
  • hardware-108jp
• gated:
  • hardware-jphandshake (enabled only when BITDO_ENABLE_JP_HARDWARE=1)
