Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit

This page documents the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit game.

Communication with the kart is done directly over local-WLAN via lp2p:app. The service implementation is in the main-codebin itself, without symbols - however there are strings for this.

RomFs contains only two files:

• "data.zip"
• "update.pua": This is probably the firmware update data for the Kart. This is likely encrypted: one of the strings in here is "generic/tee.bin.aes".

Kart

OSS is available for the kart itself.

This uses Linux. The 1.1.0_3 archive contains the following:

 busybox-1.22.1.tar.bz2
 eudev-1.5.3.tar.gz
 kmod-17.tar.xz
 libnl-3.2.24.tar.gz
 linux-kernel_5c3cb2e0be2243f6d4553ccad2047c9d72e25ea2.tar.gz
 lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz
 PsdDriver_5a8d821.zip
 rtl8188eu_074cc66fece232b0d5f1e1f7de57e72022ec12b1.tar.gz
 uboot_53a0fa98b176329e340b0a2fca6edb7117209751.tar.gz
 util-linux-2.24.2.tar.xz

PsdDriver is Nintendo's custom kernel module, the GPL license header used in the source starts with the following:

 * Sensors and Motors driver
 * Copyright (C) 2020 Nintendo Co, Ltd

The only changes in the OSS for 1.0.0_1 -> 1.1.0_3 are the following (note that there are more versions between these):

• The following archives were updated: linux-kernel, PsdDriver, rtl8188eu, uboot.
• In the PsdDriver source, the line-ending at the start of various source files was updated.
  • In sources/psd_util.c, initialize_table(); is now called by a dedicated psd_util_init_crc8 function instead of psd_util_get_crc8, which is now called by device_init in sources/psd.c.

The above git-commit-hashes (?) from the filenames doesn't seem to match commits in the upstream repos.
