This project is an update to the SAMD Loader project. The second version of the build has been improved in response to feedback and now features dual USB micro B and USB C onboard.

This project is an Atmel SAMD21 Payload Injector dongle, used for sending RCM payloads to the Switch. It is easily reflashable using a simple "drag & drop" of files from PC, and all the source code is freely available on GitHub - see the original thread for all the glorious technical details of the development side.

Its case design is available on thingiverse, which can be easily manufactured by anyone with a 3D printer.

  • UF2_Splicer.zip - A free tool by bundat on GBAtemp to make new payloads. Just drop a bin file onto the bat file to generate a custom UF2 for flashing. Source included. (2018/09/19)

To update/flash the dongle to a new firmware:

  • Connect the dongle to PC via USB B or USB C. Doesn't need to be switched on, it will get power from PC.
  • Double click the reset button. If it's in a case, use a pen or toothpick to click reset.
  • A drive will pop up called FIRMWARE. Drop the desired UF2 file on it, and wait for it to finish writing. Done.

To make a new UF2 file with a custom .bin payload (recommend using UF2 Splicer by bundat):

  • Unzip the UF2 splicer tool.
  • Drop your new .bin payload onto the batch file called "DRAG_PAYLOAD_HERE".
  • Flash your dongle using the newly updated CURRENT.UF2 file from the splicer.
