Hacking Running Fusée Gelée through a Teensy 3.6

[DaveLister]

It's so low level that we will need to implement our own HCI controller. It's like this with the Teensy anyway. It can be patched.

You always get me excited ..........

I have a pro micro, with a 32u8 controller.
Wonder if this controller can handle it.

Nope. This one has usually only a cheap usb to serial controller without usb host support.

Aren't there some mini usb host boards (those tiny ones) that you could use to get usb host support?

Edit: Quick google resulted in finding this I'm not sure whether this would work tho.. midly interested trying this with a micro pro

Back in the day I used my android phone to hack the PS3.

Yeah that eventually became possible. Was alot of fun back then. And like now u could see in the forums it all develop. Was awesome.

So I've just been looking into this and power is certainly a concern. I tried a tiny USB Type C -> A dongle I have, and power doesn't make it through from the Switch.

My guess is that because the Switch has Type C, and USB Power Delivery, the Xecuter dongle is somehow able to tell the Switch that it needs power. Apart from that niggle, the Beagle Pocket looks like a nice little board, as does the Tumo (even more so), but I think we're going to need a proper hardware hacker to do the work on this

I am able to power my phone with my Switch by just using a C-to-C cable

Even when it's in the recovery mode? My rPi powers up once Horizon is booted, but not in RCM.

 

[natinusala]

Ah maybe not in RCM indeed.

USB 3 and XHCI is your only road block i would guess on the older model.

I think XHCI and USB 3 support required initially, so the cheaper models , do they grant us those features ? ( Genuinely do not know)

I'm not sure those are actually required for the exploit, they were required because they were the only type of ports that didn't have bugs in the linux drivers. But there are patches for the Linux drivers.

Lost it but spotted ktemkin had posted something on github . Regarding usb dongle delivery system . At work so no time to search right now.

There's so many thing's that you can run fusee gelee with.

Granted that is true , i would just like a free TX styled solution . Small light weight agile and easy to use for kids , i got three switches and I cannot afford 3 copies of a game for us to have the lols with .

Could have sworn I read somewhere that the rate it communicates at needed to be fast for rcm mode.

Back in the day I used my TI-84 to jailbreak.

Those were the good days

I've testet with my Note4 which only got USB2.0 yesterday and it works fine so nope you don't need USB3.0.

 

[natinusala]

You need a XHCI controller. USB 3.0 ports have a higher chance of having a XHCI controller. On a board like a Teensy, we will be able to patch the controller so we don't actually care about XHCI.

Would it be possible to do this from a cheap STM32 blue pill board? I think some of them contain USB hardware built in

It could also be that the TX dongle has a tiny battery inside. Minmal hardware won't require that much power anymore nowadays. I'm looking for something myself now, digging a bit deeper.

Yep, could be a battery. It could also be so low power that it's able to harvest what it needs from data pins in the USB C port.
