Instructions/files for building a custom LEDE image to turn cheap routers into a Nintendo Switch "modchip"/"dongle"
These instructions target the "A5-V11" devices, although you should be able to make this work on any router with USB host support.
These instructions do not cover the actual installation to the device, see https://openwrt.org/toh/unbranded/a5-v11
Once installed, just plug in your switch in RCM mode, and the payload will get launched automagically!
To set a custom payload, replace /usr/share/fusee-nano/payload.bin. (fusee.bin is bundled as a default payload, from https://github.com/ktemkin/Atmosphere/tree/poc_nvidia/fusee)
- Clone this repo, and the main LEDE repo
git clone https://github.com/DavidBuchanan314/fusee-lede/
git clone -b lede-17.01 https://git.lede-project.org/source.git lede- Copy over the
fusee-nanopackage, and the EHCI patch
cp -r fusee-lede/fusee-nano lede/package/utils/
cp fusee-lede/899-ehci_enable_large_ctl_xfers.patch lede/target/linux/generic/patches-4.4/- Update LEDE feeds and configure
cd lede
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig
