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 merge/replace.
  No need to delete that folder first, especially if you want your configs and payloads.
• You can choose to update your RCM injection device or PC with the new hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin or not.
  In any case, bootloader/update.bin, will be checked and if newer it will get loaded.
  update.bin is hekate and it is already copied with the bootloader folder drag n drop update process.

Notice about Atmosphere 1.0.0 and up: The fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin in hekate_ipl.ini must be changed to fss0=atmosphere/package3. And make sure that atmosphere/contents folder does not have old Atmosphere components.
Notice about resized emuMMC: Resized emuMMC does not have the slow bug anymore. You can create a new one or recreate it via Nyx and the issue will be gone.

hekate v6.0.6 changes

Boot entries:

• Allow overriding bootwait
bootwait can now be used on boot entries to override the global one.

L4T/Arachne T210 (Erista) and T210B01 (Mariko) changes:

• Automatically set rated DRAM frequency for T210B01 by default.
  Since Arachne is now final and stable use 1866 MHz for old ones and 2133 MHz for newer ones.
  T210 will still use 1600 by default, since these chips are rated as such.
• Allow T210B01 RAM OC up to 3200 MHz (from 3000) and T210 RAM OC up to 2366 MHz (from 2133)
  Some ram models and binning can handle it. This needs L4T 5.1.2 release and up to work.
• Improved 8GB table creation for T210
• Allow ram undervolting. VDD2 min: 1050mV, VDDQ min: 550.
• Some timings were corrected to use latency based base values instead of frequency
  Raises overall bandwidth performance and lowers latency
• Added Memory PTSA DDA rework support for increased efficiency
  This needs L4T 5.1.2 release and up for the custom rework changes, to work.

Wiki must be re-read after 5.1.2 L4T release before using these. As always OC must be balanced, not just cranked to max.

Nyx v1.5.5 changes

• emuMMC backup can now be migrated as a file based emuMMC directly, without moving it
• emuMMC restore now uses /backup/{sn}/restore/emummc folder
  The parent restore folder is now avoided since it was always for eMMC restoring.
  This helps avoiding copying emuMMC backup to restore/ and then restoring it to eMMC.
• Fixed an off-by-one issue with setting year on clock offset
• Fixed an issue where Nyx would fail to launch on first boot without a hekate_ipl.ini
• Improved ram channel detection on info
• Added more cal0 info
• Added public key info in fuses

BDK Changes

• FUSES: All fuse register defines were added
  And T210B01 ones have B01 suffix now
• FUELG: Register dumping moved to bdk for use by other applications
• T210: Added many useful memio addresses and macros
• I2C: Fixed stack buffer overflow
• MINERVA: OC freq is now handled by Arachne

• DRAM: Add support for custom dram id 7 for T210 (7 is easy to burn on top of any T210 ids in fuses). This is for 8GB ram chips.
• DRAM: Name 2 of the 3 new ram chips (Not yet validated, but an educated guess, since all previous ones were correct in the end.)
• DRAM: Corrected SKU info about mid cycle Hynix RAM chips.
• PMIC: Reduced max allowed dram voltage for new L4T dram voltage tuning support to be inside official limits.
• TIMER: A new isleep function was added that allows instruction timed based sleep.

  For now it's experimental as it needs some tweaks here and there.
• Added info about Switch Lite Sharp LQ055T1SW10 panel
• Fixed an issue that would create a massive stutter each time a tap was done on a window
  Noticeable on Mariko devices since it would create a 1s stutter. (On Erista it's not visible.)

  Now if the libraries are corrupted and are executed, it will fire the watchdog after 5s if BPMP hangs and reload and skip them
• Fixed a bug in low battery monitor where it could deinit display 2 times.
• Various BDK (HW) changes that are propagated to hekate main (aka under the hood improvements)

Notice about Atmosphere 1.0.0 and up: The fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin in hekate_ipl.ini must be changed to fss0=atmosphere/package3. And make sure that atmosphere/contents folder does not have old Atmosphere components.
Notice about resized emuMMC: Resized emuMMC does not have the slow bug anymore. You can create a new one or recreate it via Nyx and the issue will be gone.

Nyx v1.3.0 Changes

• Add support for 5 entries per line in Launch/More Configs for a total of 10 entries
  A new button called Extended Boot Entries is available in Nyx options
• Support for grey background box removal on launch entries was added
  To remove it, the icon must be named as *_nobox.bmp. This also allows custom made ones built into the icon for better theming support.
• The 2 features above can be viewed in #739
• emuMMC backup now uses backup/{emmc_sn}/emummc folder instead of default in order to keep it separate
• Switch Lite gamepad (Sio) support
• Hori gamepads on Switch OLED support
• Improved Joycon communication.
  Now USB gamepad will behave better. Virtual mouse will not drift (if drift is not an issue). And lastly, BT pair dumping should always succeed first try, if it finds HOS pairings, unlike before where it sometimes failed to find these.
• Fix archive bit tool now guards against corrupted sd cards, in order to avoid hangs
  It now also reports errors when trying to access folders or fixing archive bits
• Partition Manager's Backup/Restore now guards against corrupted sd cards, in order to avoid hangs
• Partition Manager now offers a full wipe, in case it can backup contents.
• Partition Manager now backups Mariko Warmboot Storage folder if it can't do a full backup. (Previously it would only backup the bootloader folder).
• Fix Hybrid MBR button now also clears hidden Windows attributes for MBR or GPT schemes and also checks if MBR has a GPT partition, in order to avoid revival of dead GPT.
• Added support for showing info and getting proper ipatches dumps on T210B01 (Mariko)
• Added info about the new Hynix DRAM chip
• microSD info now also shows total size of FAT partition
• Various BDK (HW) changes that are propagated to hekate main (under the hood improvements)

BDK Changes

• Display: A full refactor of the Display Interface driver was done
  Deduplicates various configs and also brings full support for Samsung OLED panel with proper backlight control and color management. Additionally, that saves around 1KB of payload space.
• SDRAM: Deduplicated dram config patches to save binary space
• Regulator 5V: Added support for Hoag and Aula
• Fan: Added support for Hoag and Aula
• s_printf now prints negative numbers if %d is used. Additionally it is now checked for format errors.
  Note: 64bit types are still not supported. Cast them to 32bit equivalent and print them in parts).
  Any code that manually handles negative numbers should remove that part.
• UART: Driver now supports manual and auto HW flow control and 2 STOP bit support for higher baudrates
  BREAKING: uart_wait_idle function was renamed to uart_wait_xfer and uart_print to uart_printf to reflect on what they do.
• Joycon: Driver was refactored and now supports Switch Lite
  The refactoring also brought improved communication and fixed various issues when interfacing with them.
• SDMMC: Fixed an issue where eMMC lower speeds would register as HS200 instead of lower
• SDMMC: Exposed get CSD and SCR functions.
• USB2: Stack now behaves better when RAM is slow
• XUSB: Improved power down
• USB2/XUSB: Do proper deconfigure of endpoints when host asks that
• Heap info was extended with nodes used and total nodes.
• Ini: Added proper ini free function (ini_free)
• List: Added backwards traverse macros for lists
• Tmr/WDT: Added timer/watchdog driver and also moved all timer/sleep functions into it
• IRQ: Added FIQ watchdog handling with BDK_WATCHDOG_FIQ_ENABLE. Setting BDK_RESTART_BL_ON_WDT also, causes a reload of bootloader on FIQ

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 merge/replace.
  No need to delete that folder first, especially if you want your configs and payloads.
• You can choose to update your RCM injection device or PC with the new hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin or not.
  In any case, bootloader/update.bin, will be checked and if newer it will get loaded.
  update.bin is hekate and it is already copied with the bootloader folder drag n drop update process.

Notice about Atmosphere 1.0.0 and up: The fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin in hekate_ipl.ini must be changed to fss0=atmosphere/package3. And make sure that atmosphere/contents folder does not have old Atmosphere components.
