Desktop Tauri

The desktop app lives in apps/openipc-station/src-tauri and reuses the same React UI as the browser station.

cd apps/openipc-station
npm run desktop:dev

desktop:dev starts Vite through Tauri's beforeDevCommand, then opens the native window. The local Vite URL exists for the development WebView; the Tauri window is the desktop app.

Desktop Data Flow​

Tauri command
  -> native Rust backend
  -> nusb USB device
  -> openipc-rtl88xx Realtek HAL
  -> openipc-core receiver pipeline
  -> Tauri events with encoded Annex-B frames and metrics
  -> React WebCodecs playback

The desktop mode does not use browser WebUSB. It uses native nusb for USB operations and sends encoded frame batches to the UI.
