Hacking WIP [Trinket] [Rebug] [Others] SWITCHBOOT_UF2 / FUSEE_UF2 modchip software

[Gismor]

i use a rebug chip.
and method 3.
only joycon strap connected :/

what is a good solution to change mode with only joycon strap or not possible?

It is possible. I haven`t written the function yet.

I`ll get on it tonight.

Ok 0.9.8r2 tested. All is good apart from Power Off with SX OS. It still reboots in ArgonNX.

Hmmm... Needs a autohosoff routine adding to ArgonNX.

Hi maybe i should put 1 in Hekate autohosoff ini ? I'm sure it's 0 yet.

Edit : forget what i said. Have to learn more

Dougie...

Fancy testing this?

Get into mode 3 (ArgonNX) and check it is powering off correctly. Should see a "Shutting down" screen.

Cheers

Yeap with pleasure dude

Get into mode 3 (ArgonNX) and check it is powering off correctly. Should see a "Shutting down" screen.

Ok i will test the Power Off from Mode 3 ArgonNX and from SX OS Horizon after. Will give feedback asap...

BTW : if not abused could make a separate UF2 with the DotStar brightness on Adafruit boards like before cause it's too much bright indeed i have a crystal case and makes me blind lol

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Fancy Test done :
Powering Off from Mode 3 ArgonNX : it is powering off correctly from SX OS Horizon (with a shutting down screen after a while) and from ArgonNX Menu too
On the other hand if SD Removed i can't boot into Hekate with Vol-/power anymore...
A yellow message appears : " Failed to init SD card.....Press power button to reboot into RCM..."

 

[mattytrog]

OK... Tried a new feature if anyone would like to tell me if to put it in or not...

For adafruit / dotstar users this one...

On first boot, you will see the LED start fading from dark to bright white and back again.

It will do this 3 times.

If you press vol+ at your preferred brightness, that brightness will be locked and will stay that way. If you don`t press anything after the 3 fades, a default value will be chosen.

Feedback please! Does it go into 0.9.9?

Because there are no payloads. Select another mode to get back to hekate.
Fancy trying the other one I just posted with LED brightness mod?

I just installed with Trinket M0 (v0.9.8r2) and I'm having an issue where USB install with Goldleaf or Tinfoil does not work. Goldleaf hangs, whereas Tinfoil causes an error on the Switch. I know Goldleaf USB install worked prior to this installation. It seems like the Trinket is not properly disconnected from the USB lines when asleep. Is this issue documented?

Do you have your Trinket flashed? If blank or in bootloader mode, it will cause conflicts. I tested it (with nxUSB is it called? The one you can access your SD card) and worked without issue.

Yes, I flashed it with Simple-UF2 and kept the original Trinket bootloader (no Switchboot). There are no Vol+ or Joy-Con wires. It injects the payload perfectly with autoRCM, but seems to cause USB issues otherwise. I can access the Trinket in bootloader mode and reflash it through the Switch's USB port.

Deleted. Incomplete.

 

[JacksonS]

OK... Can you just try this for me? See if this fixes the issue? This is a UF2 file.

Thanks for helping me troubleshoot this. I tried that UF2 image and the USB issue with TInfoil stopped. However, I put the 0.9.8r2 UF2 back on the Trinket and Tinfoil works now. I have no what changed.

What exactly is the USB strap for? I couldn't find any clear description of what it does and I'd like to know in case it could be related to the problem.

OK... The USB strap is to prevent being stuck in RCM.

If you connect your switch to your PC when it is switched off, because you either have autoRCM enabled or straps connected, the console will go to RCM mode.

All the USB strap does is sense this unplugging of USB and push the payload.

If this didn`t happen, once your console is in RCM, you either need to hard-power-down (for 12 seconds) or press the reset switch on the trinket to manually push the payload.

This is enabled and disabled in software. If it is fitted, it will activate the code. If it isn`t fitted, it will remain disabled until either you reflash a UF2 or a full vol+ reset is made.

If you have the strap fitted, but wish to disable it, you can long-press vol+ for 12 seconds, or if you don`t have vol+ strap fitted, as soon as you drag over simple-UF2, as soon as the file transfer box disappears, disconnect USB. It relies on checking if it is plugged in you see. If you unplug before the results of the check have been complete, the code will be disabled.

I have further modified the code. I just need someone to test this new UF2 for me.

It seems like my issue may have had more to do with my PC. Tinfoil threw an error when I was trying to install software from an external drive, but it does not when I try to install from the PC storage. As for Goldleaf, it still hangs, so I think that issue may be a bug in Goldlead itself. Thanks for the help.

Deleted. Didn`t work.

Goldleaf USB install is still flakey af, for what it's worth.

Cheers Dave.

The USB shouldn`t have been causing a conflict anyway as, to all intents and purposes, it`s dead the moment the chip goes to sleep.

However, now I have added code to physically make sure it is switched off and disabled before sleeping.

 

[JacksonS]

Just to rule it out, could you please test this UF2?

Rather than sleeping in host mode, the CTRLA bit for ENABLE is set to 0. This disabled the trinket USB interface completely until next power cycle.

I'm a little confused now. I got the same error with Tinfoil again even though it had been working (using the 0.9.8r2 UF2, not the test one you linked). Now, the Switch behaves as if the volume up button is always pressed, even though I did not connect a wire to it. I've fully powered it down, turned autoRCM off and on, but this issue persists. How can the volume button be "pressed" when the Trinket is only connected through USB? This almost seems like a software bug caused by shutting down after an error message.

I uploaded the second USB-disable-UF2 you sent to see if it would change anything, but it wouldn't boot Hekate or anything else. My PC also couldn't see the Trinket in bootloader mode until I booted Horizon by sending a payload from my PC through USB.

OK. You have no "straps" connected...

OK where are you getting power for your Trinket? The emmc by any chance?

Power is coming from the component indicated here:
