hekate v5.5.2 & Nyx v0.9.8

Supports booting ALL current CFWs, Android/Linux booting and payload tools.
No more SD card removals

Supports: Erista and Mariko units

Latest HOS supported: 11.0.1

New in this version

• Added back an SD card mitigation for old coreboot roms
  Anyone that still relies on that should actually use an updated coreboot.rom.
  L4T Linux/Lakka/Android P/Q already have a newer one.
• Fixed an issue where AutoRCM status would be reported falsely on modchipped switches
• Power management (Regulator framework/Reboot/Power off) was refactored
  Power off now disables all regulators and comes back to init state, effectively using even less power when powered off.
  Regulator framework was updated to simplify the whole process of changing regulators for all 4 types.
• HOS versioning was refactored to use fuses instead of keyblobs
  This will make future hekate updates simpler.
  (Basically KB version was not providing enough info to identify and select each version's quirks. This change doesn't actually affect the user, it just reduces the codesize/complexity of hekate. Also it has nothing to do with actual fuses burnt.)
• Simplified RAM OC for users that compile an overclocked Minerva library.
• Many bugfixes

Nyx v0.9.8

• emuMMC Migration was reworked to allow more freedom
  User can now choose the type of migration that wants to do instead of being completely automatic.

• XUSB on Mariko now has up to 96% better performance
  Reaches parity with speeds in Erista units.

• Added support for the commonly used Hori pads. Thanks to @krnlyng.

• UMS timings were reworked to fix Arch Linux
  Arch Linux USB stack specifically has the tendency to have huge latencies that can reach 1-2s.
  This change mitigates that without sacrificing performance.

• Partition manager changes
  Flash Linux/Android buttons now only light up if partitions are found.
  Added MSC (misc) partition support for Android. Needed for OTA updates.

• Added Touch Panel vendor and model info
  Additionally it checks if firmware is correctly paired with that panel.

• Added burnt fuses HOS version compatibility info
  It now shows the minimum OFW version that can be booted.
  Additionally, raw values are now provided for ODM 4,6,7 fuses.

Additional changes:

• Added new Display ID ([20] 96 [0F]: InnoLux P062CCA-AZ3)
• Added Main/CPU/GPU PMIC info in battery info
• Fixed an issue where AutoRCM status would be reported falsely on modchipped switches
• Fixed an issue where Display ID was reported wrong because of improper display deinit from bad chainloaders
• Disabled power management on dev units
• Backlight now dims when in UMS to conserve some power
• When Nyx options are changed, now a pop up will ask to save them if user forgot to do so.
• Many bugfixes

BDK

Many changes were made on the Bootloader Developement Kit. Developers should check actual commit log for these.

FAQ

• How to use Partition Manager for Linux/Android?
  For L4T Linux you can use the official Ubuntu Bionic 3.2.0 or newer release or any other distro betas.
  For android you need to build Android P or Q which support/require the new partition scheme.

• My Joy-Con drift when in Nyx, how to fix?
  Nyx applies an auto calibration at boot. That happens when you hear the rumble. If you press the sticks before, then a wrong calibration will get applied.
  To fix that on the fly, simply remove the Joy-Con and re insert it. This always causes a new calibration. Just make sure you don't touch the stick when you reinsert.

• I don't care about emuMMC/Linux/Android. Can the Part manager be used for something else?
  Yes. You can still reformat your SD card to a single FAT32 partition.
  You can even use it when you have exFAT and you want to format to FAT32.
  It is also suggested to format your sd card via hekate. That's because it prepares it for performance. something that many partitioning tools neglect.

Notes

Check readme.md for more.

NOTE:
For maximum performance of UMS in Windows, you need to run nyx_usb_max_rate__run_only_once_per_windows_pc.reg, only once per PC you have.
It only affects hekate's usb device. You can also view that file with text editor and see what it does. Linux/Mac OS users do not need that.

Don't forget to drag n drop bootloader folder into sd card root and hit replace. No need to delete that folder first, especially if you want your configs and payloads.

  If you chainload hekate and the chainloader clears keys you will be greeted with Pkg1 decryption failed! Is BEK missing?.
  Additionally, Atmosphere must be updated to 0.17.0 that will have Mariko support.
• Added Mariko Warmboot Storage (MWS)
  This dumps the warmboot binary on SD to allow downgrading when fuses are burnt.
  The warmboot exploit doesn't exist in Mariko, so the warmboot binary must be paired with fuses.
  Take care when wiping SD Card, you need to keep it backed up.
• Added support for Exosphere Fatal binary for Mariko
  Custom binaries can be used with the exofatal= option.
• Fix AutoRCM status checks on Mariko and modified BCTs

  Currently can only be enabled via editing hekate_ipl.ini.
  Using bootprotect=1 in [config] disallows any reading/writing of the bootloader folder and its contents inside HOS, preventing any corruption of it.
  This of course has the side-effect of homebrew that depend on it (e.g. hekate Toolbox) to not work fully.
• Fix an issue where failing to patch emuMMC would allow user to continue booting
• Some extra fixes.

Nyx v0.9.5

• Better info for BM92T36 (USB-PD)
  It can now show more profiles and the exact selected profile

The v5.2.0 Anniversary release had a huge changelog. If you missed it, check here: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/tag/v5.2.0

FAQ for Anniversary release

• Does new hekate disallow exFAT?
  Of course not...
  What changed was that hekate can now identify the HOS drivers and check if they support exFAT.
  And if they don't, it will tell you.
  HOS comes with 2 different fs drivers. One that supports FAT32 only and one that supports both.
  If you have the FAT32 only and an exFAT sd, you will boot into a black screen. hekate prevents that.

• How to get the FastFS file based emuMMC?
  You need to have an existing file based emuMMC or create a new one.
  Currently it only works when booting via hekate (with the new emummc.kipm).

• How to use Partition Manager for Linux/Android?
  For now the official releases of these projects are old and do not support the new layout.
  You can still make it work if you build Android or if you extract the ext4 partition from the Linux disk image.

• Does emummcforce key always forces me to use emuMMC?
  Well, ONLY if you put that key in your boot entry. And one boot entry, does not affect another.

• My Joy-Con drift when in Nyx, how to fix?
  Nyx applies an auto calibration at boot. That happens when you hear the rumble. If you press the sticks before, then a wrong calibration will get applied.
  To fix that on the fly, simply remove the Joy-Con and re insert it. This always causes a new calibration. Just make sure you don't touch the stick when you reinsert.

This version supports booting ALL current CFWs, Android/Linux booting and payload tools.
No more SD card removals

Latest HOS supported: 10.0.2

New in this version

• Updated, improved and faster SDMMC driver
  Faster and proper than before
  Full error checking
  Reinits to lower bus speed if failure
  Supports 1-bit mode (you will get a warning in Nyx if that's the case)

• Updated Display Interface driver
  Initializes based on display panel
  Checks if already initialized and deinits first
  Adds Window D and Cursor Window support

• Add boot time emuMMC selection
  Using the emupath key in a boot entry will load the selected emuMMC.
  This can also be forced by using the correct boot cfg storage bit and writing the path at the emummc path offset. Check readme for these.
  The format is: emupath=emuMMC/RAW1, emupath=emuMMC/SD00, etc.
  (ONLY works with ones created by hekate, as it depends on the raw_based/file_based files that have emuMMC info).

• Check for HOS FS driver supporting SD card format
  It disallows booting if SD card is exFAT and HOS uses the FAT32-only driver.
  Without that you would boot into a black screen before.

• Add emummcforce key
  Forces emuMMC and disallows booting if emummc.ini is not found or emuMMC is disabled

• Add exosphere.ini parsing and CAL0 blanking support
  Users are discouraged to enable that Atmosphere feature, as it is not yet validated as safe because of caching
  exosphere.ini prodinfo keys are parsed during boot and applied automatically.
  Users can choose to override them with cal0blank and cal0writesys hekate ini boot entry keys.
  The value of these (0 or 1) will be applied on top exosphere.ini value and will effectively override it.

• Disallow Auto NOGC in stock
  Users can still force it with kip1patch=nogc

Additional changes:

• Add EKS support
• Improve KIP1 patching
• Add Interrupts handler driver
• New upgraded gpio driver with full configuration support
• Exception handling that allows your to always continue
• Fix Minerva emc table corruption
• Countless other fixes and additions!! Check commit log if you want to learn more.

emuMMC

• File based now uses FastFS with speeds almost as fast as RAW
• Updated, improved and faster SDMMC driver
• Retries on lower bus speeds if failure and works even in 1-bit mode

Based on https://github.com/m4xw/emuMMC/tree/54b9d24365e1943832a2f50b3324ca11cb0c4999

Nyx v0.9.0

• USB Driver and Tools
  Check below for added features
  (Keep in mind that if anything goes wrong or you get stuck during a USB op, you can press both VOL buttons to bail out.)

• USB Mass Storage
  It supports SD Card, eMMC and currently selected emuMMC
  eMMC and emuMMC are read-only by default

• USB Gamepad emulation (Joy-Con)
  This new usb feature will allow you to use Joy-Con as a free gamepad on a PC.
  Can be paired with tools like x360ce to enable support to all games.

• SD Card Partition Manager
  Allows you to select up to 2 emuMMC + Linux + Android.
  Any combo is allowed, even if you just want to repartition it back to one FAT partition.
  The procedure is automatic on selecting sizes and offsets.
  The tool is also able to backup your SD Card into Ramdisk and then get restored, if the total used size is less than 1GB. If you have more files than that, you will be asked to copy your files to your PC via UMS.
  It also allows you to flash L4T Linux images and Android Twrp images.
  The Flash Android can be also used to reboot into Twrp if a file to flash is not found.

• Joy-Con Support
  It acts as a virtual mouse fallback for users with broken touch screens
  Cursor Movement: Left Stick, Click: A / ZL / ZR, Close/Back: B, Log screen: - or +, Screenshot: Capture

• Home Screen Selection support
  You can now choose in Nyx Options between 4 modes:
  -Main menu: Default main menu
  -All Configs: Merges Launch and More Configs as long as there are enough empty slots
  -Launch: Uses Launch screen as home screen
  -More configs: Uses More configs screen as home screen
  All of them support customized background bmp

• Fix Archive Bits v3
  The new version automatically fixes everything, without the need of 2 options
  It's extremely fast, because now only changes what needs to be changed. Even if user has thousands of folders
  Supports huge mods or texture packs that are split on FAT32.
  (As long as the folder name has a 3 char extension. Exanmple: zelda_hd_textures.hts)

• Add Color Theme support for highlighted text
  You can choose in Nyx Options

• Fuses Info is now HW & Fuses info
  Adds Display panel, Touch panel, DRAM Chips and SoC Chip info

• Add SD / eMMC RAW read benchmark
  Find it in SD Card or eMMC info

• Allow eMMC restoring for smaller or bigger backups
  Useful for >32GB eMMC mods. You will get a warn about it.
  If you don't fit the eMMc modding description, then your backup is corrupt.

• Add simple emuMMC backup
  It supports all sized partition based emuMMC
  For now it can only backup the first 0xE0 partition that it finds

• Additional emuMMC changes
  -Allow partition selection when creating a raw partition based emuMMC
  -Clear partition start when creating RAW Partition based emuMMC
  -Refresh emuMMC status window when creating a new emuMMC to reflect the new info

• Touch panel tuning calibration
  Allows you to fix any issue with touch in Nyx and HOS.
  It will also check your panel for HW issues before proceeding.
  If an issue is found, the calibration will stop to avoid a bug in the touch firmware.

• Add Window D as Log screen window
  Can be shown by pressing - or + on Joy-Con
  Screenshot function will also save that screen to SD

Additional changes:

• Add Joy-Con Bluetooth pairing info dump. Used in L4T Android/Linux.
• Add Update Reboot 2 Payload option
  It automatically updates reboot_payload.bin if fss0 is used.
• Disallow eMMC operations when battery is low to protect from sudden shut off
• Add SD error report info in SD Card info
• Add Ramdisk support
• Add primitive eMMC BIS support
• Add Time offset config. This is manually done for now. In a later version, the offset will be parsed from HOS.
• Fix hanging when parsing non HOS GPT in eMMC info
• Fix a long standing heap corruption issue that would hang Nyx
• eMMC Backup/Restore Verification config is now moved to Nyx config (nyx.ini)
• Fix Battery Charger and Fuel Gauge infos showing wrong values for some stats
• Allow screenshots only every 2s and add capture effect
• Decrease Idle power drain
• Countless other fixes and additions!! Check commit log if you want to learn more.

Notes

Check readme.md for more.

NOTE:
For maximum performance of UMS in Windows, you need to run nyx_usb_max_rate (run once per windows pc).reg once per PC you have. It only affects hekate's UMS usb device. You can also view that file with text editor and see what it does. Linux/Mac OS users do not need that.
NOTE2: You will need sept and a custom secmon and warmboot binary to boot > 7.0.0 or stock emuMMC.
NOTE3: hekate is able to get sept binaries from inside a fss0.

Don't forget to drag n drop bootloader folder into sd card root and hit replace. No need to delete that folder first, especially if you want your configs and payloads.

Release is based on: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/tree/da8c040c082ec4fc23bab6327400075508fb5646

Download:

hekate v5.1.4 & Nyx v0.8.7

This version supports booting ALL current CFWs, Android/Linux booting and payload tools.
No more SD card removals

Latest HOS supported: 10.0.0

New in this version

• HOS 10.0.0 support
• Added Empty Battery screen on boot
  This will show an empty battery icon if voltage is pretty low.
  It will power off after 15s if NOT charging. It continues boot after reaching enough charge.
  It can be bypassed with VOL- & VOL+. For more, read 5f142b4.
  (Previously, if battery was less than 2800mV, the console wouldn't react - black screen - to a rcm injection.)
• Fixed an issue where if sept folder was missing, hekate could not write itself there.
• Some bug fixes

emuMMC

• HOS 10.0.0 support
  Based on m4xw/emuMMC@b168ddf

Nyx v0.8.7

• Fixed an issue with LvGL that was making Nyx hang and corrupt text
• Added touch panel HW testing, before allowing forced calibration
  The touch IC fw has a bug that allows calibration to happen when the panel is defected.
  That will eventually happen from HOS though when a touch fw gets updated...
• Dump pkg1/2 tool now supports HOS 10.0.0
• Add touchscreen initialization retries in case it fails.
• Some bug fixes
