enricobuehler 01266ff18d feat(gamepad): SC2 Puck-dongle passthrough with the native 28DE:1304 topology
Community-contributed round 5 of the Steam Controller 2 passthrough,
reviewed + verified. A Puck-captured pad now presents the dongle's real
seven-interface identity (CDC pair, four controller HID slots, management
HID) instead of relabelling its reports as a wired 1302 — Steam's Puck
feature dances (wireless_transport / esb/bond / 0xB4 slot status) get
capture-shaped answers, and the wired identity's canned replies are
corrected to the real captures (attribute count, string-attr framing,
0xF2 firmware info, bcdDevice nibble encoding).

- new wire pref 10 = SteamController2Puck (Hello/Welcome byte; older
  peers degrade to Auto), selected by the Android capture link when the
  transport is a dongle, or by VID/PID in the degraded InputDevice path
- TRITON_RDESC is now the captured numbered descriptor (mouse/keyboard
  lizard collections + per-id vendor reports); unnumbered framing made
  hidraw mangle feature report 2 and Steam eventually closed the device
- interrupt-IN now queues sparse reports (battery/RSSI/wireless edges)
  instead of keeping latest-only, so a 250 Hz state packet can no longer
  erase them before the USB/IP poll observes them; EP0 SET_REPORT is
  split by wValue report type (OUTPUT parsed for rumble vs FEATURE)
- vendored usbip-sim: config attributes/max-power, IAD prefix + BOS
  descriptor support, correct BCD minor.patch encoding (Deck's 0x0300/
  0x0200 values are nibble-zero, so its bytes are unchanged), and
  full-speed interrupt pacing in ms (was 8 kHz from the HS formula)
- Triton feedback is serviced at 1 kHz while an SC2 backend exists so
  Steam's trackpad haptic writes reach the client unbatched

Verified: clippy -D warnings + 319 host tests green on Linux, core wire
tests green, Android kit/app compile + unit tests green. On-glass Puck
retest owed.

punktfunk — Android client (phone & TV)

The native Android app for streaming a punktfunk host to your phone, tablet, or Android TV. A Compose app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at the display's own resolution — with hardware HEVC decode, HDR10, and controller support, built for both touch and the couch (D-pad / gamepad focus navigation).

Features

  • Hardware decode — NDK AMediaCodec HEVC → SurfaceView, including HDR10 (Main10 / BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency tuning and a live stats HUD.
  • Audio both ways — Opus + AAudio playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
  • Controller support — buttons + axes with rumble and HID feedback (lightbar / adaptive triggers); D-pad / gamepad focus navigation for TV and phone.
  • Find hosts automatically — native mDNS discovery; first connect does a one-time SPAKE2 PIN pairing (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a Keystore-wrapped, pinned identity.
  • Compose UI — Connect / Settings / Stream screens with Material You theming.

Built for arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a + x86_64 — the 32-bit armeabi-v7a slice is what keeps the app installable on the many 32-bit Google TV / Android TV streamers (Walmart onn. 4K, Chromecast with Google TV, budget Amlogic boxes) that otherwise reject a 64-bit-only build as "not compatible".

Get it

Published to Google Play (Internal Testing) — join the beta via the Discord. Per-device setup and pairing: docs.punktfunk.unom.io/docs/install-client.

How it's built — Rust-heavy

Kotlin can't import the cbindgen C header the way Swift can, so a native bridge is unavoidable. We write it in Rust and link punktfunk-core directly — so the Android client reuses the Linux client's orchestration (audio jitter ring, VK keymap inverse, latency/skew math, capture state machine, trust logic) instead of re-porting it into Kotlin.

Side Owns
Rust (native/libpunktfunk_android.so) the JNI seam, NativeClient (QUIC control + UDP data plane), AnnexB → AMediaCodec decode (incl. HDR10), Opus + AAudio audio + mic, controller feedback, latency math, trust/pairing, mdns-sd discovery
Kotlin (app/, kit/) Compose UI, SurfaceView lifecycle, input capture, the Wi-Fi MulticastLock + permission UX, Keystore identity

The single seam is io.unom.punktfunk.kit.NativeBridgeJava_io_unom_punktfunk_kit_NativeBridge_*.

Build & run

Prerequisites: Android SDK + NDK r30 (30.0.14904198), platforms;android-37.0, build-tools;37.0.0, cmake;3.22.1 (builds libopus); JDK 21 (AGP 9.2 runs on JDK 1721, not a newer default); Rust with rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi x86_64-linux-android and cargo install cargo-ndk. Toolchain is pinned (AGP 9.2 · Gradle 9.4.1 · Kotlin 2.3.21 · Compose BOM 2026.05.01 · compileSdk 37 · minSdk 28).

Android Studio: open clients/android — it uses its bundled JBR 21, and the cargoNdk* task builds the .so as part of the normal build.

CLI (point Gradle at JDK 21 if your machine default is newer):

export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)"   # or your Temurin 21 path
cd clients/android
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug     # cargo-ndk cross-compiles libpunktfunk_android.so first
./gradlew :app:installDebug      # onto a running emulator/device
# emulators from env setup:  emulator -avd pf_phone   |   emulator -avd pf_tv

The debug APK lands in app/build/outputs/apk/debug/. Launch it, pick a host, pair, and stream.
