tools: Migrate from text-based CLI to Protobuf RPC
Currently the binaries in tools/
use the text-based CLI over the serial port to communicate with a Flipper Zero and run FAPs. We should instead use the start_rpc_session
CLI command to drop into the Protobuf RPC control mode, using e.g. the prost
crate. This would remove most of the hand-written CLI parsing logic, and probably be more accurate and flexible.
In particular, I am curious about whether PB_App.StartRequest
is specifically a request to Applications
that enables us to provide arguments to FAPs (which the text CLI loader open Applications foo.fap
does not), or whether it is a request to loader
(and thus the same as the text CLI).
