Very cool project, and I'm with retrOid, better to C it! Since the constraints are small, should keep the code small and minimal too.
I myself am trying to figure out not a dongle solution, but an even smaller solution one that can fit inside the switch and be soldered inside of it. That automatically upon boot it would short the pin and push the exploit. A technically not untethered coldboot, but it would mimick the feeling of being untethered.
Problem is, the space is very limited inside the switch so I not only need to find a device capable of exploiting it via usb, but also that is small enough to be soldered inside. We could 1 up TX if we have a permanent soldered version (that they are lacking despite promising), that also will use a free and open source custom firmware (probably atmosphere) instead of 'proprietary' TX modded firmware.
I think maybe might require designing custom pcb and chosen components fit for the task, and in true modchip fashion provide the diagrams and instructions of where to solder the wires to
