Supports: Erista (T210) and Mariko (T210B01) units

Latest HOS supported: 16.0.1

hekate v6.0.2 changes

• HOS 16.0.0 Support
• Fixed an issue which could, in some cases, cause Stock-mode to hang on boot on HOS 1.0.0 to 6.1.0.
• Fixed an issue on TUI mode where user could not access options without a hekate_ipl.ini
  In case hekate started with removed or broken SD and was plugged later
• L4T Loader: updated T210B01 SC7-Exit firmware to account for new burnt fuses count
• Various other improvements.

emuMMC Changes

• HOS 16.0.0 Support
  As always based on https://github.com/m4xw/emuMMC

Nyx v1.5.2 Changes

• HOS 16.0.0 Support
• Improve SD error handling on init. Added retries in case of failure.
  If it still fails to load them, now user will properly get a fatal error message.
• Added support for bpmpclock=3 which further reduces clock speed for the worst binned SoCs
  Additionally, the first boot clock test now lasts fro 10s on first boot, instead of 5s.
  To change bpmpclock, you need to manually edit nyx.ini, since it's not in the GUI options.
• Reboot to OFW button now gets disabled if AutoRCM is enabled
• Fixed an issue on PKG1/2 dump tool which would produce incorrect binaries on PKG1 dumping.
• Various improvements/fixes

BDK Changes

• SDMMC: Improve init error handling
• GPIO: Added gpio_direction_input and gpio_direction_output functions that can fully configure a pin easier.
• 5V Regulator: Removed X3 pin for T210B01. VBUS regulator should not be managed there.
• HW Deinit: Do not touch APE clocks on T210B01
• HW Deinit: Remove support for broken HW init
• CLOCK: Improve PLLC deinit
• BM92T36: Added sanity checks for comms. Fixes hanging in case of broken i2c to that chip.
• SDRAM: Removed support for (LP)DDR2/3. Only LPDDR4(X) is used anyway.

FAQ

Click to expand FAQ notes

• Which Linux/Android distributions are supported in Partition Manager?
  For L4T Linux you can use the official Ubuntu Bionic 3.4.0 and newer or any other distro betas.
  For android you can get Android 10.

• 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.

How to update:

• Drag n drop bootloader folder into sd card root and hit merge/replace.
  No need to delete that folder first, especially if you want your configs and payloads.
• You can choose to update your RCM injection device or PC with the new hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin or not.
  In any case, bootloader/update.bin, will be checked and if newer it will get loaded.
  update.bin is hekate and it is already copied with the bootloader folder drag n drop update process.

Notice about Atmosphere 1.0.0 and up: The fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin in hekate_ipl.ini must be changed to fss0=atmosphere/package3. And make sure that atmosphere/contents folder does not have old Atmosphere components.
Notice about resized emuMMC: Resized emuMMC does not have the slow bug anymore. You can create a new one or recreate it via Nyx and the issue will be gone.

  Any code that manually handles negative numbers should remove that part.
• UART: Driver now supports manual and auto HW flow control and 2 STOP bit support for higher baudrates
  BREAKING: uart_wait_idle function was renamed to uart_wait_xfer and uart_print to uart_printf to reflect on what they do.

FAQ

• How to use Partition Manager for Linux/Android?
  For L4T Linux you can use the official Ubuntu Bionic 3.4.0 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.

• Improve payload launching speed
• Significantly improve speed and heap pressure when parsing hekate ini configs
• Significantly improve speed and heap pressure when parsing external kip patches
• Add automatic L4T Linux/Android kernel panic dumps
  Needs new kernel that uses the L4T panic magic flag
• Improve panic/exception error reporting
• Various other improvements and fixes

Notice about Atmosphere 1.0.0 and up: The fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin in hekate_ipl.ini must be changed to fss0=atmosphere/package3. And make sure that atmosphere/contents folder does not have old Atmosphere components.
Notice about resized emuMMC: Resized emuMMC does not have the slow bug anymore. You can create a new one or recreate it via Nyx and the issue will be gone.

Nyx v1.2.0 Changes

• eMMC lower bus speed init support when init fails
  User will be notified on Nyx boot if eMMC is initialized in lower bus speed or in eMMC if that is true or if read/write errors happened
  eMMC hw issue reporting also added to inform user in such cases
• Support OLED's 64GB when creating FULL partition based emuMMC
  That's ofc a waste of space if selected, so it's better to use resized emuMMC
• Highlight battery temperature when it's cold or hot.
  In these states, charger chip disabled charging.
• Fix missing set of attributes when restoring folders in partition manager

BDK Changes

• Added bdk.h global header that has everything that is needed

  storage argument from various functions got removed.
  eMMC init now supports fallback to lower BUS speeds if init failure happens
• nx_emmc_bis now resides in BDK
• Minerva now automatically gets PLLMB and FSP OP/WR status
• Add prep work in Minerva for hekatf
• Improvements to display code. DSI write fifo and window fb address returns.
• Add WAR for data coherency issue for T210B01 SE

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.

How to update:

• Drag n drop bootloader folder into sd card root and hit merge/replace.
  No need to delete that folder first, especially if you want your configs and payloads.
• You can choose to update your RCM injection device or PC with the new hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin or not.
  In any case, bootloader/update.bin, will be checked and if newer it will get loaded.
  update.bin is hekate and it is already copied with the bootloader folder drag n drop update process.
