Latest HOS supported: 12.0.2

New in this version

• HOS 12.0.2 Support
• Auto NoGC is now applied if you have 12.0.2 and 14 fuses
  That's because 12.0.2 burnt a fuse and brought the total to 15 fuses.
  If user is still in 12.0.0-12.0.1 you will still need kip1patch=nogc.
  If updated to 12.0.2, that line can now be removed if wanted.
  And as always if auto nogc is not wanted, you can disable it in the Options Tab.
• Fixed Seamless display for L4T Linux/Android
  There was an issue where hekate would clear the bootlogo when launching L4T.
  That is now fixed and the bootlogo will remain until kernel finishes init.
• Fixed an issue when a kip patch was defined 2 times it would throw an error.

emuMMC

• Improved File based emuMMC
  Fatals with MMC access errors when updating, moving or installing games is now fixed.

based on https://github.com/m4xw/emuMMC/tree/c6717b9320247d3ec81b372adae5e5623be7d16b

Nyx v1.0.3

• Allow backing up resized emuMMC
• Allow restoring small eMMC backup into a larger eMMC module with split file backup
  Support for that was added before but there was a leftover check for split file backups.
  That's now fixed and works the same way as single file backup.
• BPMP clocking is now revamped
  There are 4-5 reports where the users' Erista SoC binning can't handle the overclocking.
  The issue manifests either by Nyx hanging on boot or eMMC backup verification failing.
  New Nyx will now try to automatically set the best clock for these units.
  First inject might hang but any consecutive one will succeed because Nyx will fallback because of the first failure.
  To accommodate that, newpowersave (original way to mitigate that) in nyx.ini was replaced with bpmpclock.
  If Nyx fails to set the correct clock in such cases, then user can force that by setting bpmpclock=2 to lower the clock.
• Always align SD card total sectors when partitioning to ensure all partitions get the same alignment.
• Add info about a new InnoLux panel.
  The info is incomplete, so anyone that repairs Switches and can see the display panel model from the back of it and pair it with the reported id in Nyx, is welcomed to help.
• UMS will now inform user if ejected unsafely (while medium removal prevention was enabled).

BDK

• Minerva was updated to 1.4 to fix various Minerva and Nvidia bugs
• Corrected align down macro
• Moved uart B/C deinit inside Joycon driver
• Various other fixes. As always it's better to check commits for that.

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.

How to update:

• 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.
• And inject the new hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin payload at least once.

Latest HOS supported: 12.0.1

New in this version

• HOS 12.0.0 Support
• Add USB3.0 enable via exosphere support (needed for 9.0.0 and up)
  If you enable that, it will impact signal quality of WiFi 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth.
• Add Seamless Display support for L4T Linux/Android.
• RAM Overclocking is now disabled when booting stock to fix sleep issues
  Previously, hekate would not check if used minerva driver was overclocked and was allowing booting stock with RAM OC which breaks sleep because HOS mtc gets disabled when it finds an unknown boot frequency.
• Minerva was updated with more accurate clock trimmers
• Optional voltage change was added to minerva when RAM OC is used via compiler flags
  This removes the need for hekate main to be recompiled. Max allowed voltage is 1250mV.
• 12.0.0 didn't burn a fuse, so AutoNOGC, doesn't work IF you have 14 burnt fuses.
  Use kip1patch=nogc in your boot entry if NOGC is desired in that case.

emuMMC

• HOS 12.0.0 Support

Nyx v1.0.2

• HOS 12.0.0 Support
• Hybrid MBR fixer is now smarter. It can detect a hos partition everywhere and properly rearrange extra partitions in MBR.
• Report GPIO ID in case Touch Panel is unknown
• Properly check if eMMC GPT is valid before parsing it
• Refresh SD card calibration when using UMS or benchmarking for faster ops
• Migration option Fix Raw, now tells user that it also fixes partition type.
• Add new touch panel in info
• Check for errors when benchmarking

Latest HOS supported: 11.0.1

New in this version

• Nothing changed in hekate main. Check v5.5.4 & Nyx v1.0.0 changelog if you want to learn more.

Nyx v1.0.1

• Fixed error 2002-4686 on resized emuMMC
  There was a bug where the driver would do a read instead of write.
  If you get that error, there's no need for repartition. Just run creation again.
  As a reminder, here's what resized emuMMC is:
  User can now select one or two resized emuMMC from 4GB to 12GB total. Full 29GB emUMMC remains as an option.
  This resizes emuMMC USER partition and formats it. Additionally it preserves all PrFile2 SAFE metadata that disallow corruption.
  Official support of that is important, as moving data to emuMMC partition from FAT, doesn't actually make access faster.
  Save data is kept in USER, so make sure you select a size based on your needs. Use a tool if transfer of SYS saves to resized EMU is needed.
  (File based resized emuMMC is not supported yet. You can use another tool to resize it.)

Additional changes:

• Joycon regulators now turn off before sending the sleep command while exiting Nyx.

Supports: Erista and Mariko units

Latest HOS supported: 11.0.1

New in this version

• Better user reporting for Mariko Warmboot Storage (MWS) with missing firmware
  In case warmboot firmware was not found in MWS cache in SD, it will now notify user that sleep mode will be disabled if continue booting is selected.
• EKS for Erista now automatically upgrades itself, in order to fix issues with normal vs r2p paths when it was created with old hekate.
• Main BCT in BOOT0 is now checked for improper values before running Sept in Erista
  Before, launching Sept in such cases (improper BCT) it would make it black screen.
  Now an error will show up that instructs user to run sept with proper BCT at least once, in order to cache keys in EKS.
• FatFS now supports simple GPT
  In case you mangled your Hybrid MBR, this will allow you to launch Nyx if FAT partition is the first one.
• SDSC cards (<= 2GB) are now supported
• Many other bug fixes and improvements

Nyx v1.0.0

• Resized RAW emuMMC added in Partition Manager
  User can now select one or two resized emuMMC from 4GB to 12GB total. Full emUMMC remains.
  This resizes emuMMC USER partition and formats it. Additionally it preserves all PrFile2 SAFE metadata that disallow corruption.
  Officially support of that is important, as moving data to emuMMC partition from FAT, doesn't actually make access faster.

  (File based resized emuMMC is not supported yet. You can use another tool to resize it.)

• eMMC/SD Benchmark IOPS test added
  Added 4KB Sequential and Random IOPS and Rate measurements.
  They are faster than before because now it reads 1GB for Sequential big blocks and 512MB for 4KB.

Additional changes:

• FatFS now supports simple GPT. This will allow you to fix Hybrid MBR in case it was wiped
  Additionally, Fix Hybrid MBR was changed to allow it to run even if FAT partition is not the first one in GPT.
  The fat partition needs to be named hos_data in GPT in order for the tool to pick it up.
• eMMC info now shows Write Cache size and also Enhanced area size (which can tell if nands are SLC/MLC/TLC/etc)
• emuMMC migration now shows status and also updates the main window
• Partition Manager and Dump Pkg1/2 swapped places in their tabs
• Joycon BT pairing dumping explicitly tells if it succeeded or failed
• Many bug fixes and improvements to partition manager and others

BDK

• Many changes were made on the Bootloader Development Kit. Developers should check actual commit log for these.
  These include SE, SDMMC, FatFS and others.

• The BIS driver that is used in resized emuMMC and CAL0 info was upgraded to latest from Lockpick RCM by @shchmue together with additional changes because that driver will be eventually moved to BDK.

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.

Latest HOS supported: 11.0.1

New in this version

• Fixed an issue with sdmmc driver. This might increase compatibility with a certain set of SD cards.
• Fixed an issue with a bad chainloader. Release was updated to include 63d0330
• Compiled with latest BDK.

Nyx v0.9.9

• Partition Manager fixes
  Fixed Android partitioning underflowing UDA (userdata) partition. (Which was causing the password issue when booting Android.)
  Fixed Nyx hanging when updating buttons after partitioning.
  Fixed an edge case on backup/restore checks where the total size would overflow and end up returning < 1GB instead of failed.

Additional changes:

• Allow Reboot to OFW (bypass fuses) on patched Erista and Mariko units
  The options for these (except unpatched) now are:
  OFW: Reboot and bypass fuses like always. This depends on at least one intact BCT.
  Normal: Reboot by resetting regulators. This enters custom bootloader if chipped, otherwise it does an OFW (no fuse bypass) reboot.
• Fixed temperature for Mariko being 12.5 °C higher than it should be
  The power off now also disables the sensor in order to conserve more power.
• Joycon parent regulator is now managed and source depends purely on if USB is connected or not
  That will prioritize joycon charging via USB and save charging power.
• Fixed an issue where the pkg1/pkg2 dumping tool for Mariko would over-decrypt pkg1.
• Formalize various text messages

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

  hwinit, dram/lp0, display, sdmmc, ccplex, fuse, etc were all updated to support the new SoC.
• Mariko (T210B01) HOS support
  In order to boot HOS on Mariko, all keys should be in place (Security Engine) before launching hekate.
  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

Additional changes:

• eMMC/SD info now also shows the manufacturer's name.
• DRAM info now also shows chip models
• Fixed an issue with patched RCM status on Mariko
• Ability to change how Nyx power saves
  If launching Nyx hangs on boot, change newpowersave= to 0 in nyx.ini in order to mitigate it.
• Launching coreboot.rom for L4t/Android on Mariko, is now disabled to protect user from possible bricks.
• Minerva is disabled on Mariko, as dram training on it is not supported yet.
  That means that Nyx frame drawing is slower than expected.
• Fix AutoRCM status on Mariko and modified BCTs
• Fixed an issue with Joycon not able to control Nyx if only left one was plugged in

New in this version

• Mesosphere support (Atmosphère's kernel reimplementation)
• update.bin is now automatically created on first boot
  This allows l4t/android or anything else that injects/warmboots an old hekate to always use the latest one
  As a reminder, it gets automatically updated via injecting a new hekate once
• Bootloader protection
  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.

• 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.
