Mariko support

[BlackRabbit22]

As you've stated, on Mariko one cannot launch payloads from hos, however if the console reboots, it reboots into a payload.

You could create a payload that renames the payload.bin file to payload.bin.tmp and then have the payload that handles updating be named to payload.bin. Cause the switch to reboot, and it will reboot into the payload that handles updating, once its done with its operations, rename payload.bin.tmp to payload.bin and force a reboot again.

yeah, mariko support is something I'm thinking about (last commit shows I'm now detecting it), but the problem is that I believe payloads have to be written to support mariko, and I don't know the first thing about writting payloads :^)
But maybe once I read up on it more

[BlackRabbit22]

Yeah I understand, just a suggestion. I don't know much about writing payloads either, otherwise I would've submitted a PR instead of making a suggestion :)

Still, thank you for your work.

You can use tegraExplorer and it's built in script language. Works fine on mariko

There isn't even a need for that, I can just modify the payload to do what BlackRabbit mentioned, I just haven't got around to do it tbh

tell you what @rashevskyv , if you're willing to help me test it, I'll try to do it in the next few days

Sure. I'm working on it for my AIO package right now

[HamletDuFromage]

Well if you're doing it, then there's no point in me doing it at the same time. Let me know !

[rashevskyv]

NP. I will ping you when I am done

Script that I will be use for my package
startup.zip

@rashevskyv I looked at it and I'm sure it works but it seems hard to maintain. I tried to do it but I can't test it since I only have a v1 switch. Do you think you could test it for me? I pushed the changes to my repo and here is the app compiled
aio-switch-updater.zip

My modchip going mad after reboot.
Payload size that app copied to SD is different than TegraExplorer

[rashevskyv]

Ah, you are still using your own payload.
I have used TegraExplorer for mariko update and all works like a charm

[HamletDuFromage]

Well, I don't use TegraExplorer, I use my own payload.

It should also create payload.aio which is either ams or hekate, depending on what exists on your sd card

I hope your modchip is ok. Maybe my payload isn't fully compatible with Mariko switches

[rashevskyv]

Modchip is fine, thanks :)
I think your payload cannot work with mariko

I forked aio-switch-updater and add tegraexplorer instead of aio-rcm (and removed all functions that i do not need in my aio-pack). I am not a programmer at all and my methods are far from elegant, but all what I need is works.

[HamletDuFromage]

I saw it, and if it works then it's great. However I would prefer to not rely on tegraexplorer and scripts to make everything easier to manage. I'll try to update my payload and maybe I can ask you to test it for me again?
