Switch Run Linux

This repo contains a script which can be used to run Linux on Nintendo Switch using failoverfl0w ShofEL2 exploit. The instructions to load Linux is scattered between the blog post and ShofEL2 repo so I decided to create this repo to ease build and run process.

To run Linux on your Switch follow this simple instructions:

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/derekstavis/switch-runlinux

2. Download the Pixel C factory image from here.
3. Place the downloaded file inside switch-runlinux repository.
4. Build the toolchain (you need Docker installed):

make toolchain

5. Build the needed tools:

make build

6. Have the Switch into RCM mode and run the exploit:

make run
