No more SD card removals
Latest HOS supported: 11.0.0
New in this version
- HOS 11.0.0 support
- Mariko (T210B01) HW support
hwinit, dram/lp0, display, sdmmc, ccplex, fuse, etc were all updated to support the new SoC. - Mariko (T210B01) HOS support
In order to boot HOS on Mariko, all keys should be in place (Security Engine) before launching hekate.
If you chainload hekate and the chainloader clears keys you will be greeted with Pkg1 decryption failed! Is BEK missing?.
Additionally, Atmosphere must be updated to 0.17.0 that will have Mariko support. - Added Mariko Warmboot Storage (MWS)
This dumps the warmboot binary on SD to allow downgrading when fuses are burnt.
The warmboot exploit doesn't exist in Mariko, so the warmboot binary must be paired with fuses.
Take care when wiping SD Card, you need to keep it backed up. - Added support for Exosphere Fatal binary for Mariko
Custom binaries can be used with theexofatal=option. - Fix AutoRCM status checks on Mariko and modified BCTs
- Fixed an issue with exFAT supported FS.kip checks
- Fix an issue where hekate wouldn't load if damaged fuel gauge chip.

Mariko (T210B01) info and dumping support
Every tool and info window was updated to add Mariko HW and HOS support.
XUSB was also added and USB was refactored in order to add Mariko UMS functionality.

Additional changes:
- eMMC/SD info now also shows the manufacturer's name.
- DRAM info now also shows chip models
- Fixed an issue with patched RCM status on Mariko
- Ability to change how Nyx power saves

- Minerva is disabled on Mariko, as dram training on it is not supported yet.
That means that Nyx frame drawing is slower than expected. - Fix AutoRCM status on Mariko and modified BCTs

FAQ

How to use Partition Manager for Linux/Android?
For L4T Linux you can use the official Ubuntu Bionic 3.2.0 or newer release or any other distro betas.
For android you need to build Android P or Q which support/require the new partition scheme. -
My Joy-Con drift when in Nyx, how to fix?
Nyx applies an auto calibration at boot. That happens when you hear the rumble. If you press the sticks before, then a wrong calibration will get applied.
To fix that on the fly, simply remove the Joy-Con and re insert it. This always causes a new calibration. Just make sure you don't touch the stick when you reinsert. -
I don't care about emuMMC/Linux/Android. Can the Part manager be used for something else?
Yes. You can still reformat your SD card to a single FAT32 partition.
You can even use it when you have exFAT and you want to format to FAT32.
It is also suggested to format your sd card via hekate. That's because it prepares it for performance. something that many partitioning tools neglect.
Notes
Check readme.md for more.
NOTE:
For maximum performance of UMS in Windows, you need to run nyx_usb_max_rate__run_only_once_per_windows_pc.reg, only once per PC you have.
It only affects hekate's usb device. You can also view that file with text editor and see what it does. Linux/Mac OS users do not need that.
