The tool pretended to be a high-resolution DAC. The Kirin, fooled, began streaming 384kHz audio to it. But instead of music, the tool was injecting — 19kHz for a logic ‘0’, 21kHz for a logic ‘1’. The DSP on the Kirin, designed to filter out ultrasonic noise, had a backdoor. A single line of legacy code left by a long-gone engineer: usb audio fw update tool
