open-drong-display: reconstructing Drong Display USB control
open-drong-display replaces the Drong Display 1CBE:0003 dongle's Windows software with an IddCx display driver using a reconstructed USB protocol. The project documents bulk-transfer commands and session startup, then sends H.264 frames to the dongle for HDMI output.
