Details

switch_console is the Bootcore / Interaptiv console switcher on Falcon and Seale SoCs.
While it is listed rw write access is denied on release firmware, including Labor and Inhaus.

7590ac fw 7.90:

root@fritz:~# ls -l /sys/kernel/switch_console

-rw-------    1 root     root          4096 Jan 17 18:19 /sys/kernel/switch_console

root@fritz:~# cat /sys/kernel/switch_console && echo

interaptiv

root@fritz:~# echo bootcore > /sys/kernel/switch_console

sh: write error: Operation not permitted

Write access is only permitted on internal firmware, none of which ever leaked.
Internal means a CONFIG_BUILDTYPE of 2 (Intern) or 998 (Private), but not gathered from the config variable.
The permission is gathered from fw_info.ko, an early-boot capable module gathering its info from the device-tree.

switch_console is provided by grx_switch_console.ko.

Model-Matrix

Daily updated index of the presence, path and size of this object for each model. Last update: 2024-10-06 04:18 GMT.
Showing all models using this object. Click any column header (click-wait-click) to sort the list by the respective data.
The (main/scrpn/boot/arm/prx/atom/rtl) label in the Model column shows which CPU is meant for Multi-Linux models.
Note that this list comes from Supportdata2 probes, which can have arbitrary settings and come from different firmware versions.
It doesn't say much if a model is not listed here. It may be a missing supportdata2 file or just a disabled feature.

Model	Firmware	Path	Kernel (perm)

Help Supportdata2

The data in this article is incomplete since it was manually collected using the Supportdata2 project.

Unlike the Supportdata-Probes which have been collected for years Supportdata2 is brand new and only has a few probes.
If you have access to a shell then please help to extend the Supportdata2 collection to improve this data.

It's easy and it's done in minutes. Please send created data as an Email attachment to the address listed here. Thanks!
