hekate v6.1.0 changes

Fixed an issue where emuMMC sector offset parsing was failing if SD card was bigger than 1TB.
L4T and ARC changes:
- Allow boot partition to be exFAT
  
  This will need an update of the bootstack of various L4T releases. Mostly important for Lakka and for users that do not want to format.
- Significant changes were done to Arachne for RAM OC to increase performance and stability
- Several timings were improved and corrected for both T210/LPDDR4 and T210B01/LPDDR4X
- Stability was improved for higher frequencies for T210/LPDDR4
  
  It also significantly affects high density ram modules like in 8GB configurations
  
  Additionally, they can be improved extra with the ram_oc_opt ac mode also.
- Fixed an issue where sometimes timing reduction was not allowed on 1600 MHz
- A new ram_oc_opt= parameter was added to support advanced ram oc configuration for both T210 and T210B01.
  
  Mostly for users with T210/LPDDR4 because of low frequencies and others that like to optimize (T210B01/LPDDR4X).
  
  Read more in wiki.
- ram_oc_vdd2 max voltage limit was raised to 1237mV for T210. T210B01 remains at Jedec max of 1175mV.
- Fixed an issue for DDR200 on T210 when RAM frequency was oc one

Nyx v1.6.0 changes

v6.0.6

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 be migrated as a file based emuMMC
emuMMC restore now uses /backup/{sn}/restore/emummc folder

The parent restore folder is now avoided since it was always for eMMC restoring

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

More info will be in the L4T 5.1.1 config readme.

Nyx changes

Lite Gamepad Calibration dumping

The Joycon BT pairing dump button can now be used to dump calibration data for Lite Gamepad. (Used in L4T 5.1.1, not yet released.)
Now eMMC errors will always be reported in eMMC info, even if eMMC init fails.
Updated DRAM info about 2 of the 3 newer ram chips (not yet validated).

BDK Changes

MINERVA: Fixed an issue where the wrong number of tables could be used.
MINERVA: Normalize selected frequency. This allows user to not be precise on ram freq for l4t.
MINERVA: Add support for 1966MHz (1958.4) and 2033MHz (2035.2).
DRAM: Add support for custom dram id 7 for T210 (7 is easy to burn on top of any T210 ids). 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 support to be inside official limits.
TIMER: A new isleep function was added that allows instruction timed based sleep.
SDMMC: Fixed an issue where the wrong error reason was reported for the calibration pad for SD/eMMC.

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.)
Nyx Options was renamed to Nyx Settings to avoid confusion with hekate/general Options
A warning icon together with reason is now shown if fuel gauge is in init state
The partition manager, now also does a backup of payload.bin in case a full backup is not possible

Now the total of backed up items in such a case is: hekate/Nyx files (bootloader), Mariko Warmboot Storage (warmboot_mariko) and payload.bin.

Improve boot speed even further
These changes come and sit on top of v5.7.0 significant boot speed optimizations
And issue was fixed where it would unmount sd on new setups with no hekate_ipl.ini and throw an error about missing Nyx.
That was introduced in v5.7.0 and was caused because creating a new ini would unmount the sd card at the end.
Various fixes and 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.

Nyx v1.1.1 Changes

Added info about new touch panel firmware

v5.6.4

Various optimizations
Improved more error messages for HOS boot

On mariko, instead of a generic "Is BEK missing?", it will now say if it really is missing or the pkg1 is actually corrupt.

Boot process on Erista 7.0.0 and up is now completely overhauled

It's also now autonomous thanks to bundled new TSEC Keygen firmware by Atmosphere
Wrongly flashed pkg1 can now be identified and inform user

Erista pkg1 on Mariko or Mariko pkg1 on Erista.

emuMMC

Fixed slow resized emuMMC

It is now guaranteed as fast as full

This works for old and new resized emuMMC. Even if they were not prepared for that.

Based on https://github.com/m4xw/emuMMC…c0d1b237cb74a823c02869f62

Nyx v1.0.6

Full support for Switch OLED (Aula) info
UMS on Mariko should now work fully on Linux/MacOS with weird usb controllers
Fixed slow resized emuMMC

It is now prepared more properly on used eMMCs to ensure same performance as full sized

Before there was an issue where HOS would try to use out of bounds address on used eMMC copies and would kill SD performance.

Now that's cleared by default and HOS never goes out of bounds anymore.
All tools and procedures that depend on BIS keys can now be done in single session.

That's because Sept that was important for Erista 7.0.0+ is now removed

So now all Erista units can do it like a Mariko unit. With no need of proper HOS firmware in eMMC.

New in this version

HOS 12.0.3 Support

hekate had support for 12.0.3 on clean SYS cfw or OFW already.

Support for emuMMC and SYS/Emu FS patches like nogc, had to be updated otherwise hekate would throw an error if used.

v5.5.7 adds full 12.0.3 support for all of that.

Just don't forget to drag n drop bootloader folder, because that's where the updated emuMMC code is.

emuMMC

HOS 12.0.3 Support

Don't forget to drag n drop bootloader folder, because that's where the updated emuMMC code is.

based on https://github.com/m4xw/emuMMC…33d47840ceceb83cf39a1d218

Nyx v1.0.4

Added explicit wording in case of overburnt fuses in HW & Fuses info

BDK

ALS driver updated
5V regulator now disables USB source by default

v5.5.6

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.
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…ec81b372adae5e5623be7d16b

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

v5.5.4-v2

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.

v5.5.4

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 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.

Save data is kept in USER, so make sure you select a size based on 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.)
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.

v5.5.3

Supports: Erista and Mariko units

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.
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

v5.5.2

Supports booting ALL current CFWs, Android/Linux booting and payload tools.

HOS versioning was refactored to use fuses instead of keyblobs
This will make future updates simpler.
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.
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 Erista.
Added support for the commonly used Hori pads. Thanks to @krnlyng.
UMS timings were reworked to fix Arch Linux

This change mitigates that without sacrificing performance.
Partition manager changes
Flash Linux/Android buttons now only light up if partitions are found.
Added MSC partition support for Android. Needed for OTA updates.
Added Touch Panel vendor and model info
Additionally it checks if firmware is correctly paired with panel

Based on https://github.com/m4xw/emuMMC…832a2f50b3324ca11cb0c4999

Nyx v0.9.1

Colorized icons support Thanks @NicholeMattera
Nyx now supports icons with the suffix of _hue. This will automatically apply your theme's color.
For more, check readme_res.md
To get hue supported icons and even their source to create new ones, check Hekate Icons.
Date/Time change via tickers
You can now customize the date and time in Nyx, via an easy ticker way.
This will affect the creation time for eMMC backups, so you will know when they were made.

Additional changes:

Fixed an issues with Archive bits Fixer
Add pop up when there are unsaved main config changes
You will now be informed if you forgot to save and not wondering why the change didn't stick.
Allow always writable eMMC/emuMMC via umsemmcrw key in nyx.ini

Along with some other changes and fixes

v5.2.0
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 supporting SD card format
It disallows booting if SD card is exFAT and FS is the FAT32 only variant
Add emummcforce key
Force 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

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.

In case you have the issue, you can boot Nyx while pressing VOL- and VOL+.
This will force a re-calibration of the touchscreen. (The tool version will come later.)
Fixed an issue with lvGL heap which was causing hangs
Fix Archive bit tool when filepath is bigger than 256 chars.
Allow canceling of emuMMC creation.

Notes
Check readme.md for more.
Lastly, keep an eye for the big Nyx update!
NOTE: You will need sept and a custom secmon and warmboot binary to boot > 7.0.0 or stock emuMMC.
NOTE2: hekate is now able to get sept binaries from inside a fss0.

v5.1.2

Latest HOS supported: 9.2.0

New in this version

HOS 9.2.0 support
Added support for parsing sept from fss0
Fixed issue with mixing older versions on L4T/Android

Better stability with BPMP clocks
Fixes for heap, lists and some others.

Notes
Check readme.md for more.
Lastly, keep an eye for the big Nyx update!
NOTE: You will need sept and a custom secmon and warmboot binary to boot 7.0.0-9.2.0 or stock emuMMC.
NOTE2: hekate is now able to get sept binaries from inside a fss0.
Warning hekate files: New bootloader contents are mandatory. Because they are new, you must not mix them with older hekate versions. hekate package is made for an easy drag n drop that can be used to replace the files.
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.

v5.1.1

Added Atmosphère's system memory pool increase kernel patches
Now sysmodules have way more available ram
Added updater for update.bin and reboot_payload.bin binaries
update.bin is updated if old.
reboot_payload.bin is updated if old and if updater2p=1 key is configured (for now only manually via hekate_ipl.ini), it forces an update even if the current payload is not hekate.
Added hekate libraries error printing in order to inform user to also update bootloader folder
Fixed hekate main compatibility with old Minerva to avoid hangs on black screen when injecting
Some users forgot to drag n drop bootloader folder and replace files, which caused that issue.
Fixed an issue where users with bootwait=0 could not enter the menu

Nyx v0.8.4

Fixed an issue with about screen

v5.1.0

Full support for 9.1.0
Faster and better DRAM training
This performance change affects both hekate and Nyx.
libsys_minerva.bso was updated and the update is mandatory.
If you notice slow performance in hekate or Nyx, you forgot to drag n drop the bootloader folder from release.
Even faster HOS boot
Because of the aforementioned change, HOS now boots even faster.
Enabled Low Battery Shutdown when voltage is less than 2.8V
This will help with many users that kill their battery by forgetting their devices into RCM/AutoRCM.
Fixed an issue with some users hanging in black screen or logo for Nyx loading
This is unrelated with HOS boot issues.
Fixed a critical issue with heap collapsing on edge cases. Thanks @shchmue.
Additionally, heap management became more robust and fragments way less often.
Added support for entering fastboot on Android.
This requires of pressing VOL+ first and while holding it, also start holding VOL-.
External patches only look for patches.ini now
The reason is that patches_template.ini is now useless and no one should install homebrew when title replacement exists.
Also because apparently it confuses users into thinking that it takes precedence over patches.ini, even though it explained countless of times that it's only loaded if patches.ini is not found.
Lastly there's a confusion where users thought that empty patches is not the same with no patches, even though it's exactly the same. So now any empty patch will throw an error.
To sum up, removed to simplify the process because of user errors.
Fixed an issue with force shutdown timeout, where it would power off if PWR button was pressed for 2s. It's now back to 6s.
Fixed instant boot to menu ("bootloop") on errors. Now hekate will properly wait for user input in order to go back to menu.
Fixed an issue with tsec keys, where KFUSE didn't have enough time to initialize.
Fixed an issue where double defined patches (like NOGC), would fail the process. Now any reapplied patch, will be properly marked as applied.

You can now add id=max7char to your boot entries and hekate can be instructed to autoboot via only this.
This will be helpfull especially with many Linux distros and Android (id=SWRANDR).
AutoNOGC protection for fatal errors in emuMMC
NOGC will now be applied automatically when fuses are >= 9.0.0 and emuMMC is less than that.
Streamline power cycles for Sandisk U1 SDR104
No more hangs because of this.

Added a check that emuMMC is not loaded without custom secmon and warmboot.

Nyx 0.8.1

Fixed Nyx hangs on boot and framebuffer issues
These were fixed by fixing an issue with Touchscreen, a cache coherency issue, stabilizing framebuffer memfetch, and by fixing too fast reinits for some sd cards.
Migrate emuMMC fixes
It can now find more available existing partition based solutions.
Fixed an issue with migrating other sd partition emunand solutions.
Change emuMMC fixes
Fixed logic with button assignment
It can now also identify more emuMMC.

Fixed an issue where the buttons did nothing if no icon.
Added option to force screen HOS boot logs.
Big names will have their name rolling.
While sd card is removed, it's possible now to Reboot or Power off. Screenshot feature gets disabled.
Added temperature sensor init, to revert L4T's range.
Fixed an issue where Nyx could start with backlight set to 0.
And general system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience. (For real..).

v5.0.0

Introducing Nyx v0.8.0
Nyx is hekate's GUI. Packs many features, like FastFS, emuMMC manage, customization, etc.
Look below for more.
8.1.0 support
emuMMC support
It supports disabling it by boot entry (emummc_force_disable=1), stock (not all fw ver support it) and many more.
Works with SD raw partition and SD file based. (SD file based is extremely slow. Wait for FastFS 4 emuMMC).
This version can sanely shutdown and also supports more SD cards than before.
Thanks to a collab with @m4xw , @SciresM, @hexkyz.
Supercharged boot times
Even with emuMMC or kip1 patching, it's faster than before.
Supercharged Backup/Restore with FastFS (Nyx only)
Backup and Restore is now orders of magnitudes faster.
Some examples (measured on a U3 SD): No verif: 9min, Sparse: 15min, etc. Even Full with hashes is extremely faster.
External KIP1 patching support
Now non-important patches reside outside of hekate binary. For now this can only patch KIPs defined in hekate's code, with whatever new patches. Next versions will support other KIPs.
Many bugfixes

v4.10.1

Reverted 204MHz SD device clock
Some U1 sd cards with Sandisk microcontroller misbehaved in this speed.
Some small QoL changes

v4.10

Full 8.0.0 support
Add brick protection for RCM patched units
(On a patched unit, if you enable RCM, you cause a brick that needs external eMMC programmer to fix.)
Add Exosphere panic report and save to SD
Useful to debug those weird colors.
Add status bar update when executing Fix archive bit tools
So you know that you have to wait.
Fixed a TSEC query timeout for 6.2.0. Thanks @shchmue.
Add support for AutoRCM on devkits
Battery "desync" fix is now applied on boot
Because of that, the entry in tools got removed.
Update FatFS to R0.13c (p3)
Cleaning and refactoring of GFX
Many bugfixes

v4.9.1

Cleaner Stock option via stock=1
Check the hekate_ipl template for more on how to use it.
Important bugfixes on eMMC tools
Fixed a 32bit vs 64bit bug where it was making verification fail. And also a text print misalignment.

v4.9

Support for parsing Atmosphere's Fusée Secondary Storage (FFS0)
Using "fss0={sd path}" allows you to parse kips, exosphere and warmboot from a fusee secondary binary.
Exosphere and warmboot are overridable if these entries are defined after that.
Additionally any extra kip can be loaded as before via kip1={sd path}/* for many, or kip1={sd path} for a single one
Warning: Don't double load core kips like loader, pm, sm and ams_mitm. The result will be a hang.
Support for split files restore Thanks to @emvym3two
You can now restore using parts or FAT32. The only condition it that all parts must be in the sd card.
It protects from fake sd cards, bad sectors and frequent I/O corruption. Aka, ~100% of cases.
Performance changes for Backup/Restore/Verification
Aligned buffers will now up the speeds by a lot.
Verification is now set to Sparse mode by default.
It protects from fake sd cards, bad sectors and frequent I/O corruption. Aka, ~100% of cases.
Change order of invoking sept
This is important, otherwise it can break tools like memloader.
Until a semi-usb init solution is found, hekate will show bootlogo and allow you to go to menu.
If >= 7.0.0 after that, it will run sept and then show logo again without a wait. For as long as rebuilding the boot process takes.
Smarter versioning for update.bin and sept payloads
Now it supports hotfix versions and it's still compatible with old hekate versions.
Sept is now updated via hekate's copy in IRAM. This negates the mandatory usage of update.bin and it copies always the most updated version.
Additionally if sept/payload.bin is found that it's foreign, it is renamed and hekate takes its place for running sept. After that it renames the original payload back and continues with booting.
debugmode is now obsolete for atmosphere. It's enabled by default.
Some nasty stack corruption bugs were fixed

v4.8

Full 7.0.0/7.0.1 support.
The keys are generated via Atmosphère's sept.
Additionally the sept/payload.bin, if found that it is hekate, it gets updated via update.bin.
Reboot to a selected boot entry via HOS hb
You can now force a boot configuration on hekate by setting the boot storage in the hekate binary.
This can be done via a homebrew, which sets the ini entry that is desired to boot.
Additionally force boot to menu can also be achieved. Please check readme.md for more
Auto NoGC
It checks fuses and applies the patch automatically if higher firmware.
It is now a global config and set on auto by default. (0: Disabled, 1: Auto)
Fixed a bug with ini list, where it would hang when using wildcard * with kip1=.
Quality of life fixes under the hood, that ease user's life.
As always many bug fixes and some refactoring.

v4.6

Fixed sleep for downgraded units with efuses burnt more than required.
Fixed update.bin chainloading and also forced hw init on update, in case it changes again in the future.
This is a breaking fix and requires to have v4.6 to your modchip/dongle.
(Chainloading with old versions may or may not work. For that reason this is considered breaking.)
New archive bit fix
It can now also fix the Nintendo folder. No more "corrupted" sd when upgrading sd card or restoring Nintendo folder.
Fixed UART debug printing. Thanks @hyln9
Auto HOS power is now disabled by default. Probably, most people learned what it does and can enable it from the Options menu.
Some small SMMU emulation for TSEC fixes for the unluckiest out there. Max wait time remains small.
Many many many fixes and also added some error msgs for restore and boot options.

NOTE: Everything hekate related, moved to bootloader folder.

v4.5

Full 6.2.0 support. Many thanks to @nwert and @balika011 for their help!

v4.2

Support "*" folder wildcard in kip1 key
Using <folder>/* can now parse and load all kip and kip1 files inside that folder.
Add option to enable/disable Auto HOS power off
If you don't use a modchip/dongle you may find this feature annoying. Options->Auto HOS power off to disable.
Allow canceling of the verification process
Now you can cancel backup and verification process. If backup phase is done, canceling in verification, will keep your files.
Some small bugfixes and support certain cfw on its stock version

NOTE: Everything hekate related, moved to bootloader folder.

v4.1

Full 6.0.0 support
Secmon/ kernel patches, FS patches, sleep mode, hw config, etc.
Improved .ini/payload handling
hekate_ipl.ini is no longer required and hekate does not hang on empty folders.
PWM backlight
You can now change the backlight brightness.
Auto full power off when the device woke up from HOS' power off
Usefull with modchips/dongles when using AutoRCM. (You can see it as a breathing backlight with hekate's logo).
Backup can be now cancelled when in the writing process (white bar), by pressing VOL UP + DOWN.
Self update chainloading properly checks for version number now to avoid uneeded loads.
Support payloads with broken/bad hw init...
Added ipatches info and dumping of patched/unpatched bootrom and ipatches
Corrected some hw config changes found in 5.x-6.0.0
More boot reasons and bootrom registers restores to normal
It now properly restores BCT on dev units from where it's supposed to.
Added warning message when the bootloader library for sleep mode is missing.
And many many bugfixes

Everything hekate related, moved to bootloader folder.

v4.0

Added Payload launching. Supports: All current CFW bootloaders, Linux chainloading and payload tools.
Use the new entry in Launch, Payloads. Autoboot is supported via inis to all payloads.
Added Ianos, our module support loading and launching. First module is LP0 (sleep mode).
Added support for split ini
They should be located to bootloader/ini. All cfw bootloaders, payloads and linux payloads are supported, along with Horizon files.
Autoboot support. Use the More configs menu in autoboot configuration.
Auto launch update for modchips. For users that do not like to always update their eeprom.
Add KIP1 patching support
Backup speed is now faster, by having bigger write speeds.
Backup folder now uses eMMC serial number.
AutoRCM now shows status and can unbrick all AutoRCM versions and types.

If your logo is smaller than 720x1280, it will now use the first pixel as background color, instead of dark grey.
Add dumping of package2
Unset archive bit to all sd card files re-added
Now it does not touch Nintendo folder. Keep in mind that this can mess with some homebrew.
Fixed an issue with a non-working firmware launching when "Dump package1" was used before.
Changed partial backup message to inform about the sd card unmounting when in a menu.
Some small bugfixes.

v3.1:

Implement millisecond timer
This is a must and a very important feature, because we expect to use the bootloader more than 71 minutes (Backup/Restore). This has the side-effect of fixing a lot of stuff. Especially on SDMMC operations.
If you had problems with read/write/verify on eMMC or SD, the new version is a must.
Fix the verification code at last!
Another side-effect of using a 32bit ms timer (from the μs original one). Plus the additional fixes to variables that could not fit in u32 storage, makes the fix completely. Thanks to all the testers that helped to tackle these dreaded bugs.
Better redo that backup!
The Fusée patches for 4.X are now fixed
The sd files archive bit removal tool, now only applies to switch folder

v3.0:

Zitat

Fixed sleep mode for 3.0.0 - 3.0.2

Add status bar with battery info
Now you can always see your battery when into a time-consuming backup/restore.

Add background color support from bitmap's first pixel
If your logo is smaller than 720x1280, it will now use the first pixel as background color, instead of dark grey.

Add dumping of package2

Unset archive bit to all sd card files re-added
Now it does not touch Nintendo folder. Keep in mind that this can mess with some homebrew.

Fixed an issue with a non-working firmware launching when "Dump package1" was used before.

Changed partial backup message to inform about the sd card unmounting when in a menu.

Some small bugfixes.

Habe Hekate 3.2 und SX 1.3 (Firmware 5.1),
wenn ich unter Hekate "launch Firmware" auswähle erhalte ich immer einen Error.
(Wollte meine Logs löschen)
Weiß jemand, wie ich des beheben kann? Danke

BiBo1994 · 18. Juli 2018

Überprüfe doch mal die beiliegende config Datei. Hilfreich wäre auch die Info, um was für eine Fehlermeldung sich dabei handelt. :D
Befindet sich der ganze Inhalt des copy-to-sd Paketes von tomGER auf der SD Karte?

Santerino · 8. September 2018

HEy, gibt es auch eine Möglichkeit das ganze über Mac OS zum laufen zu bringen?

BiBo1994 · 8. September 2018

Du meinst einen Launcher am MacOS um einen Fusée-Gelée-Payload an die Switch im Tegra Recovery Mode zu senden?
Schau mal hier rein: https://gbatemp.net/threads/to…auncher-for-macos.502075/ :D

Santerino · 8. September 2018

genau dass! Mein Englisch ist nicht das beste. Aber soweit ich es verstehe hat er den Launcher für Payloads rausgeholt?
Ich glaube es ist besser wenn ich einen eigenes Thema auf mache?!

das mag sein,aber gewöhnlich setzen die noch ein oben drauf :D
finde es dann auch i.O

SwitchGamerX2019 · 6. Dezember 2018

Ich finde es auch in Ordnung, da ich nämlich meinen EmuNAND auf 6.2.0 updaten möchte. Bin auch ausschließlich SX Benutzer xD

Jetzt sollte ein SX OS Update für 6.2.0 nicht mehr lange auf sich Warten lassen xD

**muxi** · 6. Dezember 2018

wäre mal interessant zu wissen, ob damit jetzt auch die Keys unter 6.2.0 ausgelesen werden können, oder ob dafür noch ein Update von kezplez-nx erforderlich ist. Aber ich kann das nicht testen. Das muss jemand machen, der auf FW 6.2.0 ist!

SwitchGamerX2019 · 6. Dezember 2018

Das wäre interessant. Mit Atmo lassen sich diese Keys ja auch dumpen.

Zitat

Support was added for system version 6.2.0; our thanks to @motezazer for his invaluable help.

By default, new keys will automatically be derived without user input.

Support is also present for loading new keys from atmosphere/prod.keys or atmosphere/dev.keys

Eine proprietäre Lizenz...
Ich finde, dass man das kritisieren muss.
Open Source so erfolgreich zu verkaufen ist eine Leistung. Keine gute.

Heakte CTCaer v.4.6 released!

Changelog:

Fixed sleep for downgraded units with efuses burnt more than required.
Fixed update.bin chainloading and also forced hw init on update, in case it changes again in the future.
This is a breaking fix and requires to have v4.6 to your modchip/dongle.
New archive bit fix
It can now also fix the Nintendo folder. No more "corrupted" sd when upgrading sd card or restoring Nintendo folder.
Fixed UART debug printing. Thanks @hyln9
Auto HOS power is now disabled by default. Probably, most people learned what it does and can enable it from the Options menu.
Some small SMMU emulation for TSEC fixes for the unluckiest out there. Max wait time remains small.
Many many many fixes and also added some error msgs for restore and boot options.

Pimpmasta · 12. Februar 2019

ist das jetzt für FW 7.0 ?

**muxi** · 12. Februar 2019

Davon steht nichts im Changelog. Wenn dem so wäre, würde es sicherlich Version 4.7 sein.

The keys are generated via Atmosphère's sept.

You can now force a boot configuration on hekate by setting the boot storage in the hekate binary.
This can be done via a homebrew, which sets the ini entry that is desired to boot.

[*]Auto NoGC
It checks fuses and applies the patch automatically if higher firmware.
It is now a global config and set on auto by default. (0: Disabled, 1: Auto)
