Linux 6.x booting on a Nintendo Switch Lite. This is not the L4T 4.9 kernel.

[u/Holiday_Reference_41]

A little teaser from something I've been working on.

This is a Mariko / T210B01 Switch Lite going through Linux init on a kernel port that is not based on the usual 4.9.140 L4T kernel.

It doesn't fully boot yet. A bunch of hardware is still missing and the logs are currently more interesting than the userspace.

But the kernel runs far enough to reach /init, mount the basic pseudo-filesystems and start probing Mariko hardware.

The interesting part isn't Linux running on a Switch Lite — Switchroot already does that very well.

The interesting part is how this kernel got here.

More soon. :)
