Description
After spending time with hubris, it may catch you off guard that you can build without using xtask. It'd help to call this out explicitly. I know there are requirements that systems don't have by default which we need, which I've listed below. I'm not sure what the full set is because I'm not starting from say an empty install:
- libusb1 (note this is not the same libusb gets pulled in as an automatic dep on many systems with libftdi1)
- libftdi1
At least starting with these two things might help folks. I suspect there are more here, but I'm hitting other issues I need to debug.

Research direction
No documentation file is named in the issue. Start by inspecting the repository's existing build instructions and the xtask entry point, then verify the listed libusb1 and libftdi1 prerequisites on a clean or minimal system. Done means the documented build path and required packages are explicit, including whether xtask is needed.
