Not even two days after firmware 7.0.0's keys were found, @SciresM 's Atmosphère CFW has been updated to provide initial support for the latest Nintendo Switch system update.

This new version is still in its early stages as there is no stable release nor prebuilt binaries ready to be downloaded. This coupled with the fact that the current implementation is based around a "bring your own keys" approach means it will take some more work for a regular end user to boot into CFW right now while being on the latest firmware. Nevertheless, it's been said on the same tweet that another version with a more usual key derivation method is already being worked on, with an ETA ranging anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

Atmosphere 7.0.0 bring-your-own-keys basic support: done.

It may take a few days to a week or two for me to get non-bring-your-own-keys support working, but it's a work in progress. :) pic.twitter.com/ioGCTbVFft

The commits have already been pushed to Atmosphère's GitHub repository so anyone can clone and compile a version of Atmosphère with 7.0.0 support, however it might be better for end users to wait until a stable release is available.

Those are biskey, so they wont work.

Do have a method for extracting correct keys? And lets imagine I somehow obtain the correct keys where do I place these keys? Thanks in advance

The keys can only be gotten through private methods

If you do somehow get them, put them in atmosphere/prod.keys

 

[Draxzelex]

I'm 99% sure Atmosphere will implement a byok-less solution for 7.0 support before anyone could obtain the keys publicly.

so for this private method can I get a hint at least on where to start looking.

"Private" here means that literally only a handful of people, aka the ones who originally exploited the 7.0.0 TSEC and got the key and a few others, know it. They're not going to share it as the exploit could potentially be reused to crack another update if Nintendo doesn't patch it and posting the key online is technically sharing copyrighted content.

Still, SciresM announced the non-byok version is coming later this month, so it's best to just wait for that implementation.
