Welcome to the Switchroot Wiki
Switchroot is a group for open-source development on the Nintendo Switch, a Tegra X1-based game console with a FOSS bootstrap exploiting a low-level recovery bootloader. We maintain many projects for the Switch and are in the process of consolidating all our many guides into this Wiki. If you'd like to help work on one of our projects or even just edit this site, ask in the Switchroot Official Discord Server or Linux 4 Switch Official Discord.
