First, choose what payload should the trinket has. You can get drag&drop uf2 file from here, or you can do it your self via Arduino ide.
I suggest getting the argon uf2 files. Then you just drop them onto the trinket USB drive and it will "flesh" itself with argon. Which you have apparently already set up on your SD (as you are booting it with a dongle).


can you point me to the argon uf2 files? i've been searching for hours.

Why not just use hekate?
You don't need config for argon. And looks nice (it is supposed to be burg like bootloader). Also, it will get (already has?) touch support.

I see. So, his uf2 files has multiple payloads. Never used his uf2 files. You can probably choose which payload you want to load.
If you want, I can guide you through arduino setup.

I have a trinket and I just use the universal file on it. Then I can switch payloads by putting the payload on the SD and renaming it to payload.bin. argon is good too

That would be fantastic! Yeah I went through all of the pages of that thread and couldn't pinpoint what files I should be using where and which ones I needed. I had copied the "3 files" over to boottrinket several times but couldn't get the switch to boot anything unless I injected from my dongle or desktop. Renamed Target payload to payload.bin but I'm sure I was doing it wrong. Sometimes it would boot a payload if I pressed the reset on the chip but would freeze at the splash screen.

To OP... You are using obsoleted files.

That was my old approach. If you still want S2 files, I think they are still on my git somewhere.

Better off using Simple-UF2 though

:)

I emailed xboxexpert actually, because I'd seen his youtube video of him loading from a trinket and he provided me with a UF2 file that straight up loads ArgonNX pressing Vol+ and Power. oddly enough it also worked when I ONLY pressed the power button as well. I'm all set, guys, thank you for your time!

I know it's been a while. It worked for a while but suddenly one day it started doing this and it's never worked since. Any ideas? One photo is trying to boot atmosphere the other is trying to boot reinx. The card contains the most recent files from each, including kosmos 12.1

nice story. funnily, my banned switch was from ebay and the son was on here. his father sold it on ebay to me. his son ran REiNX cfw and went online and went banned.
I like banned switches for some reason.

I have an idea why seller dont tell you that it have trinket m0 on it. I am sure it was a kid's switch and his parents sold it to you. that is my theory. I cant wait to get this switch.
Do you remember what was in the listing? I would love to see that listing. let me know if you still have it in your ebay history. you should be able to see your 2018 purchases in your my ebay.
btw, I seen some great parents who helping their kids with hacked switch on here.

I know it been awhile but my trinket switch is still doing great with ubuntu and lakka. I have been taking it to my work. I showed it to my boss who have switch other day and he was amazed.
I do not have any difficulty with arduino IDE re-programming of the mod chip. I also found out how trinket m0 was soldered. It was legacy method 3 with RCM strap.



I love trinket m0.
I am planning to mod my other switches with trinket m0. I already got trinket m0 mod chips and clear back shells.
