+# DongLoRa Rust Client
+
+Rust client library for talking to a DongLoRa device — either directly
+over USB or through the [mux daemon](../../mux/).
+
+## What's in Here
+
+- `src/protocol.rs` — wire protocol types (`RadioConfig`, `Command`, `Response`, `ErrorCode`)
+- `src/codec.rs` — COBS framing, frame accumulator
+- `src/discovery.rs` — USB VID:PID device discovery
+- `src/transport.rs` — serial and mux socket transports
+- `src/client.rs` — high-level `Client<T>` with send/recv
+- `src/connect.rs` — auto-detection (mux socket, TCP, direct USB)
+
+## Usage
+
+```rust
+use donglora_client::*;
+
+let mut client = connect_default()?;
+client.ping()?;
+client.set_config(RadioConfig::default())?;
+client.start_rx()?;
+
+loop {
+    if let Some(Response::RxPacket { rssi, snr, payload }) = client.recv()? {
+        println!("RX rssi={rssi} snr={snr} len={}", payload.len());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `cobs` — COBS framing
+- `serialport` — USB serial communication
+- `anyhow` — error handling
+- `tracing` — logging

+# DongLoRa Mux (Rust)
+
+USB multiplexer daemon — lets multiple applications share one DongLoRa
+dongle simultaneously.
+
+## What It Does
+
+- Owns the USB serial connection exclusively
+- Exposes a Unix domain socket (and optional TCP) speaking the same
+  COBS-framed protocol
+- RxPacket frames broadcast to all connected clients
+- StartRx/StopRx reference-counted across clients
+- SetConfig locked once set (single client can change freely)
+- Automatic dongle reconnect on hot-plug
+- No panics — enforced by clippy deny lints
+
+## Running
+
+```sh
+just run                                    # start the mux daemon
+just verbose                                # start with verbose logging
+just run -- --tcp 5741 --port /dev/ttyACM0  # with options
+```
+
+## Depends On
+
+- [clients/rust](../../clients/rust/) — the `donglora-client` library
+  (protocol types, COBS framing, device discovery)
