The firmware of the Joy-Cons seems to be generic across all instances. Details such as the handedness of the controller and the color is just indicated in a configuration part of the flash. Judging by quick glance at the firmware, it's probably identical to that used on the Pro Controller as well.

== AmFmCodes ==
 +
These are 32-bit values used by the Joy-Con firmware to represent combinations of amplitude/frequency pairs for vibration.
 +
 
 +
=== Unpacking ===
 +
The Joy-Con firmware receives vibration data packed as [[#VibrationAmFmPackTag|VibrationAmFmPackTag]] from output reports. Depending on the packing format, these tags are then converted to an array of AmFmCodes as follows.

The flash is in a patch-ram format. Tools for dealing with it are available [https://github.com/shuffle2/nxpad].
 
−
A dump of the ROM region (taken while firmware was running) can be found [[:File:bcm20734_rom.bin|here]]. Note this is the same SoC used on the other controller models, as well.

=== Left & Right Separate Joy-con ===

−
When paired directly to a computer over bluetooth, the joy-con both provide identical HID input report descriptor. This does not appear to include motion controls, IR data, or NFC. They both behave as detached single-player controllers.

HEX codes for the colors shown in the "Controllers" menu of the Switch UI can be found in a Joy-con SPI dump starting at offset 0x6050. Body color is first followed by button color and each is 3 bytes long. These values are able to be re-written with any HEX color value to make the Joy-cons show up as different colors in the UI. The following is a list of official HEX colors recovered from SPI dumps.

Joy-Con is the name for the Switch's primary game controllers. The Joy-Con are internally called Sakyo (Left) and Ukyo (Right).

Hardware

Sakyo

Component Description
SoC Broadcom BCM20734
IMU STMicroelectronics LSM6DS3H
PMIC Texas Instruments BQ24072
Storage Macronix International MX25U4033E 4 Mb CMOS Flash

Ukyo

Component Description

Colors

HEX codes for the colors shown in the "Controllers" menu of the Switch UI can be found in a Joy-con SPI dump starting at offset 0x6050. Body color is first followed by button color and each is 3 bytes long. These values are able to be re-written with any HEX color value to make the Joy-cons show up as different colors in the UI. The following is a list of official HEX colors recovered from SPI dumps.
