RELEASE SwitchIdent

Joel16 · Nov 3, 2018

Do note, the tool may not prove all that useful quite yet (It was the same case with PSPident and 3DSident) but later on they were widely used to check a variety of things about your device.
Get nigtly (commit-ly) builds here!

Hello, 3DSident/VITAident dev here. I'm planning on continuing the identity tool series of Xident. The tool allows users to get various bits of information from your device, hence the name 'ident' as in identifying your device.

Current version: 0.2

Features:

Displays system version.

Displays kernel version (except on 4.X.X).

Displays hardware type and unit.

Displays serial number.

Displays DRAM ID.

Displays device ID.

Displays system region.

Displays CPU and GPU clocks based on the performance configuration returned by the APM service.

Displays whether the switch is in docked/handheld state.

Displays IP Address.

Displays storage sizes for SD, NAND (user) and NAND (system).

Displays various system statuses. (Bluetooth, WLAN, NFC, etc.)

Displays battery percentage and charging status.

Displays battery charger type.

Displays if battery charging is enabled.

Displays if ample power is supplied.

Displays WIreless RSSI signals and quality.

Wooooo, amazing job dude!!!
This will be handy in the future for sure

Miqote · May 16, 2018

Through up a NRO and I'll give it a shot.

Ronhero · May 17, 2018

Good job, i used the 3ds version a ton to prove to people it had ips screens

whateverg1012 · May 17, 2018

If it's possible, it'd be cool if this app can figure out which specific manufacturer one's display was built by (e.g. JDI, Innolux, etc.), kinda like the IPS / TN.

I think even this basic skeleton of an app is even enough to help people get started! So thanks for throwing this out there!

Keizel · May 17, 2018

Good project! It will be useful in the future, I sure.

chronoss · May 17, 2018

Thanks for this project !

I'm guessing it's just a matter of using the Switch-equivilent of these functions (and what they require), but I'm not nearly advanced enough to be able to fix it on my own. My knowledge of libnx is pretty fresh and new. Sorry!

Sorry got extremely busy later on so I didn't get the time to upload any builds. However you're getting that issue because you haven't updated libnx. Its being built from the latest commit. I'll try and put out a test build tomorrow if I get time.

I installed the dev environment on 5/14 using the guide on Switchbru. The GUI (devkitproUpdater) says there's no updates. I imagine I'm probably missing something on how to update it, though.

I'm building using the latest git commits not the updater.
Anyways here's something if anyone wants to test: https://expirebox.com/download/29c61633253c618184a554af411f53bf.html
Probably won't work but if you see any error codes do let me know.

How did this slip by me?!
Thank you for the link, very interesting read. Its a shame that JDI is no longer primary manufacturer.

I wanna sign up for beta testing thank you.

Can you find any information on different switch screens at all?

I do not own the device. And there's no way to tell if there's a function that can determine the screen vendors (like in the 3DS). Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. So this may not even be a thing, but if its it won't be available just yet. Ignore that, seems like there is a function that might determine the screen vendors -> GetLcdVendorId (only on 4.00+)

Also updated the dl link for anyone who wants to test: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/287345711492628490/446690987042013204/SwitchIdent.nro

Do report any error codes or issues.

Agent Moose · May 17, 2018

I love the work you put into the Ident series of Homebrew! Although I don't use any of them, keep it up!

blubber987 · May 17, 2018

This will be pretty useful.

annson24 · May 17, 2018

My fw version is 4.1.0. I bought my switch here in dubai so as far as I know switches here are EUR
