hekate - A GUI based Nintendo Switch Bootloader
Supports booting ALL current CFWs, Android/Linux booting and payload tools. No more SD card removals
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 supported distro. For android you can get Android 10 or 11.
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.
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.

ram_oc_opt=
parameter was added to support advanced ram oc configuration for both T210 and T210B01.
Mostly for users with T210/LPDDR4 because of low frequencies and others that like to optimize (T210B01/LPDDR4X).
