GetState

No input, returns an output u32.

sdknso implements this by returning the u32, with 0 being returned on error / when service isn't initialized.

Value Description
0 None
1 Initialized
2 AccessPointOpened
3 AccessPointCreated
4 StationOpened
5 StationConnected
6 Error

GetNetworkInfo

Takes a type-0x1A output buffer containing a #NetworkInfo.

GetIpv4Address

No input, returns an output #Ipv4Address and a #SubnetMask.

GetDisconnectReason

No input, returns an output s16.

sdknso implements this by returning the s16 as a s32, with -1 being returned on error.

Value Description
-1 See above.
0 None
1 User
2 SystemRequest
3 DestroyedByAdmin
4 DestroyedBySystemRequest
5 Admin
6 SignalLost

GetSecurityParameter

No input, returns an output #SecurityParameter.

GetNetworkConfig

No input, returns an output #NetworkConfig.

AttachStateChangeEvent

No input, returns an output Event handle.

sdknso uses EventClearMode=1 with this. sdknso will Abort if this cmd fails.

This is signaled when the data returned by #GetNetworkInfo/#GetNetworkInfoLatestUpdate is updated.

GetNetworkInfoLatestUpdate

Takes a type-0x1A output buffer containing a #NetworkInfo and a type-0xA output buffer containing an array of #NodeLatestUpdate.

The array count must be 8.

Scan

Takes a type-0x22 output buffer containing an array of #NetworkInfo, a s16 channel, a #ScanFilter, returns an output s16 total_out.

sdknso copies the output s16 to a s32, the value passed for the input s16 is from an user-specified s32 (user-apps generally use value 0 for this).

This is the same as #ScanPrivate, except this also has the same channel-override functionality as #CreateNetwork.

State must be 3-5.

The array count must be at least 1. This is clamped to a maximum of 0x18.

ScanPrivate

Takes a type-0x22 output buffer containing an array of #NetworkInfo, a s16 channel, a #ScanFilter, returns an output s16 total_out.

sdknso copies the output s16 to a s32, the value passed for the input s16 is from an user-specified s32.

See #Scan.

SetWirelessControllerRestriction

Takes an input #WirelessControllerRestriction, no output.

State must be 1.

The input value is written into state.

OpenAccessPoint

No input/output.

State must be 1, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 2.

CloseAccessPoint

No input/output.

State must be 2-3, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 1.

CreateNetwork

Takes an input #SecurityConfig, an #UserConfig, a #NetworkConfig, no output.

This is the same as #CreateNetworkPrivate, except the #AddressEntry params are 0, and the #SecurityParameter is generated from "nn::util::TinyMt::GenerateRandomBytes".

Unlike CreateNetworkPrivate, this overwrites the channel field in the #NetworkConfig. When the cached IsDevelopment value is true, the output from GetLdnChannel will overwrite that field if the s32 setting value is >=0, otherwise the original value is used. Otherwise when the IsDevelopment field is false (retail), the channel is overwritten with value 0.

This overwrites the u16 field at #SecurityConfig+0. When the cached IsDevelopment value is false (retail), value 1 is used, otherwise the original value is used.

State must be 2, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 3.

CreateNetworkPrivate

Takes an input #SecurityConfig, a #SecurityParameter, an #UserConfig, a #NetworkConfig, a type-0x9 input buffer containing an array of #AddressEntry, no output.

The buffer/count for #AddressEntry can be 0, in which case the network will be non-Private like #CreateNetwork. The count must be <=8.

See #CreateNetwork.

DestroyNetwork

No input/output.

State must be 3, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 2.

Reject

Takes an input #Ipv4Address, no output.

State must be 3.

SetAdvertiseData

Takes a type-0x21 input buffer, no output.

The input buffer contains arbitrary user data.

The buffer size must be <=0x180. An empty buffer (addr=NULL/size=0) can be used to reset the AdvertiseData size in state to zero.

State must be 2-3.

SetStationAcceptPolicy

Takes an input #AcceptPolicy, no output.

State must be 2-3.

AddAcceptFilterEntry

Takes an input #MacAddress, no output.

There are two sdknso funcs implementing this: one which takes a #MacAddress directly, the other loads the #MacAddress from the input #NodeInfo.

State must be 2-3.

ClearAcceptFilter

No input/output.

State must be 2-3.

OpenStation

No input/output.

State must be 1, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 4.

CloseStation

No input/output.

State must be 4-5, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 1.

Connect

Takes a type-0x19 input buffer containing a #NetworkInfo, a #SecurityConfig, an #UserConfig, a s32 LocalCommunicationVersion, a #ConnectOption, no output.

State must be 4, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 5.

This is identical to #ConnectPrivate (besides the below), except the data internally passed for #SecurityParameter/#NetworkConfig are loaded from the input #NetworkInfo.

This overwrites the u16 field at #SecurityConfig+0. When the cached IsDevelopment value is false (retail), value 1 is used, otherwise the used value is: original_field == 0 ? {u16 #NetworkInfo+0x60} : original_field.

u32 LocalCommunicationVersion>>15 must be 0.

ConnectPrivate

Takes a #SecurityConfig, #SecurityParameter, an #UserConfig, a s32 LocalCommunicationVersion, a #ConnectOption, a #NetworkConfig, no output.

See #Connect.

This overwrites the u16 field at #SecurityConfig+0. When the cached IsDevelopment value is false (retail), value 1 is used, otherwise the original value is used.

Disconnect

No input/output.

State must be 5, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 4.

InitializeSystem

Takes an input PID and an u64 pid_placeholder.

This is used immediately after object creation.

With [7.0.0+] #InitializeSystem2 is used instead.

FinalizeSystem

No input/output.

This is used during service exit, prior to closing the object. Official sw will Abort if this fails.

If State is set for it, this will run the equivalent of #CloseAccessPoint/#CloseStation when needed.

State must be non-zero, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 0.

SetOperationMode

Takes an input #OperationMode, no output.

State must be 1.

The input value is written into state.

InitializeSystem2

Takes an input PID, an u32, and an u64 pid_placeholder.

Official sw uses hard-coded value 0x1 for the u32.

The input u32 is ignored, the impl for this cmd is identical to #InitializeSystem.

Internally this calls a func with params: (..., PID, &{u16 value 0x38}). On success, this then calls another func (which sets two state fields to the input) with params: (state, 0) (these state fields are used during #Authentication to check which service is being used).

The first func uses various nifm funcs. The input value is used to determine the value for nn::nifm::RequestParameters: essentially, value 0x4 is used for ldn:u, and value 0x8 is used for ldn:s. The input value is also copied into state.

State must be 0, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 1.

ldn:u

This is "nn::ldn::detail::IUserServiceCreator".

Cmd Name
0 #CreateUserLocalCommunicationService

CreateUserLocalCommunicationService

Returns an #IUserLocalCommunicationService.

The user-process closes the IUserServiceCreator object immediately after using this cmd. Official sw ignores errors from this cmd.

IUserLocalCommunicationService

This is "nn::ldn::detail::IUserLocalCommunicationService".

This is identical to #ISystemLocalCommunicationService, except for the System-only cmd(s), and #Initialize/#Initialize2 differ.

Initialize

Takes an input PID and an u64 pid_placeholder.

This is used immediately after object creation.

With [7.0.0+] #Initialize2 is used instead.

This is identical to #InitializeSystem except different params are used for the funcs called internally.

Finalize

No input/output.

This is used during service exit, prior to closing the object. Official sw will Abort if this fails.

This is identical to #FinalizeSystem.

Initialize2

Takes an input PID, an u32, and an u64 pid_placeholder.

Official sw uses hard-coded value 0x1 for the u32.

The input u32 is ignored, the impl for this cmd is identical to #Initialize.

This is identical to #InitializeSystem2 except different params are used for the funcs called internally: the u16 value is 0x5A, and the value for the second func is 1.

ConnectOption

This is "nn::ldn::ConnectOption". This is an u32 bitmask.

There's two versions of the sdknso funcs for #Connect/#ConnectPrivate: the version where the ConnectOption isn't user-specified uses a default value of 0x1 for it, with the same ShowError code without the bit0 check.

When bit0 here is set after using the above cmds, the sdknso funcs will use ShowError with the returned Result if: (rc & 0x3FE1FF) == 0xE0CB.

This must be <=0x1, besides this validation ConnectOption is ignored by #Connect/#ConnectPrivate.

Network protocol

ldn

A beacon and Action frame are broadcasted. The SSID in the beacon is hidden (32-bytes with value 0). For #Scan/#ScanPrivate it doesn't matter if no beacon is available (#NetworkInfo is the same), as long as the Action frame is broadcasted. However, the Station will not send a probe-request during connection if no beacon is available (and therefore not attempt any communication with the AccessPoint).

During connection, the Station first sends a probe-request using the generated SSID from the Action frame. If the probe-response contains the expected data for the #SecurityConfig type, the Station then proceeds to connect to the AccessPoint. The key for data-frames, if enabled, is derived from a buffer containing: {#SecurityParameter+0x0} followed by {#SecurityConfig data with the specified data-size}. The #ActionFrame/data-frame keys are derived with the same func, the only difference is the input passed to this func + the passed constant data.

Then the Station scans for an #ActionFrame for loading the #NetworkInfo.

Once connected, the Station must Authenticate with the AccessPoint, this is custom. The Station sends a frame (a maximum of 3 times in some cases if errors occur, with the same data), and the AccessPoint sends a response. Once Authenticated, the node is added to the #NodeInfo array in #NetworkInfo. If the Station does not successfully Authenticate X-seconds after connecting, the AccessPoint disconnects the Station. If the Station fails to Authenticate, the Station itself will disconnect as well.

After Authentication the Station will scan for another #ActionFrame, with frame-comparision enabled with the above frame (frame must have been updated since the previous scan). The Station locates the index for a #MacAddress matching itself in the #NetworkInfo #NodeInfo array (the entry for the AccessPoint is skipped), throwing an error if not found. After validating the LocalCommunicationVersion, it proceeds to handle ARP setup below.

This does not use DHCP, each node on the network has to manually setup ARP (without sending ARP network requests) with the #NodeInfo array in #NetworkInfo.

At this point standard sockets can be used over Data frames.

EthFrame

The custom Ethernet frames have the following structure:

  • "Type: IEEE 802a OUI Extended Ethertype (0x88b7)"
  • "IEEE802a OUI Extended Ethertype":
    • "Organization Code: 00:22:aa (Nintendo Co., Ltd.)"
    • "Protocol ID: {...}"
  • The first byte of Data is value 0, then the ProtocolID-specific data follows, see below.
    • ProtocolID 0x0103 frames are sent by the AccessPoint to the Station. This is 0x20-bytes of zeros, except for the first byte which is 0x3. This is sent by the AccessPoint prior to destroying the network?

Authentication

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x1 #AuthVersion
0x1 0x1 Low u8 for the size.
0x2 0x1 Status. 0 = success, non-zero = error.
0x3 0x1 [2.0.0+] bool flag. The AccessPoint verifies that this is not set. Always set to 1 by the AccessPoint in the response. The Station only uses this when the #AuthVersion is >=2.
0x4 0x1 [6.0.0+] High u8 for the size.
0x5 0x3 Unused, zeros.
0x8 0x20 #NetworkInfo+0, must match the corresponding data in #NetworkInfo when the receiving node verifies this. With the

AccessPoint->Station frame, the Station verifies that this matches the data previously sent to the AccessPoint.

0x28 0x10 #NetworkInfo+0x50, must match the corresponding data in #NetworkInfo when the receiving node verifies this. With the

AccessPoint->Station frame, the Station verifies that this matches the data previously sent to the AccessPoint.

0x38 0x10 See below.
0x48 Frame-specific data, with the above size. The total frame size - {offset of the start of this data in the frame} must match the above size.

The Station sets the above size to 0x40 ([6.0.0+] if #NetworkInfo+0x13 is <3). [6.0.0+] The Authentication challenge is only used/enabled if that value is >=3, and #IUserLocalCommunicationService is being used.

The AccessPoint sets the above size to 0x40 ([6.0.0+] 0x0 if the +0x0 #AuthVersion is <3). [6.0.0+] The AccessPoint will only use/enable the Authentication challenge when the +0x0 #AuthVersion is >=3, and #IUserLocalCommunicationService is being used. This data will not be included in the frame if the status field indicates error.

[6.0.0+] Support for the Authentication challenge with es cmds 1501-1504 was added.

Station->AccessPoint frame, relative to +0x0 above (frame size depends on whether +0xAC is enabled):

The AccessPoint will not respond to frames where the source mac-address is unrecognized.

Offset Size Description
0x38 0x10 The Station sets this to random data. Unused by the AccessPoint, except for copying into the response.
0x48 0x20 #UserConfig+0. Copied into state by the AccessPoint.
0x68 0x2 Big-endian LocalCommunicationVersion. Byte-swapped by the AccessPoint then copied into state.
0x6A 0x1E Zeros, unused by the AccessPoint.
0x88 0x24 [6.0.0+] Zeros, unused by the AccessPoint.
0xAC 0x300 [6.0.0+] Authentication challenge data. If enabled, the total frame size must be >= {end offset of this data in the frame}. The frame data does not include this if it's not enabled.

AccessPoint->Station response frame, relative to +0x0 above (frame size depends on whether +0x48/+0xCC are enabled):

Offset Size Description
0x38 0x10 +0x38 from the data originally sent by the Station. The Station verifies that this matches the previously sent data.
0x48 0x40 Zeros. [6.0.0+] Only included in the frame if it's enabled (+0x0 #AuthVersion >= 3). Unused by the Station.
0x88 0x44 [6.0.0+] Only included in the frame if it's enabled (+0x0 #AuthVersion >= 3). Unused by the Station.
0xCC 0x100 [6.0.0+] If enabled, Authentication challenge response data. Not included in the frame if it's not enabled.
AuthVersion

Must be 0x1-0xF.

Value SystemVersion
1 [1.0.0+]
2 [2.0.0+]
3 [6.0.0+]

ActionFrame

The Action frames have the following structure:

  • "Fixed parameters":
    • "Category code: Vendor Specific (127)"
    • "OUI: 00:22:aa (Nintendo Co., Ltd.)"
  • The Data starts with the following header:
Offset Size Description
0x0 0x2 04 00 in sent frames.
0x2 0x2 Protocol ID, must be 0x0101.
0x4 0x2 Must be 0.
0x6 0x2 Zeros, unused.

Then the actual data follows:

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x20 #NetworkInfo+0x0. The u64/u16 are big-endian. Outside of #Scan/#ScanPrivate, this must match the previously loaded data for this.
0x20 0x1 #AuthVersion. Copied to #NetworkInfo+0x63. When comparing with a previous frame is enabled, this must match the value from the previous frame.
0x21 0x1 Encryption type: 1 = plaintext, 2 = encrypted, {frames with other values are ignored by #Scan/#ScanPrivate}. Must match the type which is currently being used: with #Scan/#ScanPrivate this is determined via this field, otherwise #SecurityConfig is used to determine this.
0x22 0x2 Big-endian u16 size for the data starting at +0x48, must be <=0x500, and must match {total frame size relative to +0x0 above} + 0x48.
0x24 0x4 Big-endian u32 Counter. The initial value is randomly-generated. This is incremented each time the below content is updated (including initial creation). Also used by the Station to determine whether the frame changed compared to a previous one. When comparing against a previous frame, new_counter-prev_counter must be <= 0xFF, and the counters must not match.
0x28 0x20 SHA256 hash over the entire frame starting at +0x0, with the above size + 0x48. During hashing, this hash is cleared, with the new hash overwriting the original in memory (the original is copied to stack for comparing).

When encryption is enabled, the encrypted data is +0x28 with size {remaining frame size}. This is encrypted with AES-128-CTR. The key is derived from the raw 0x20-bytes at +0x0. The CTR is {raw Counter above without byte-swap}, with the rest cleared to zeros.

The content data at +0x48 follows, which has the size specified above (which must be >=0x500), where all fields are big-endian:

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x10 #NetworkInfo+0x50
0x10 0x2 #NetworkInfo+0x60
0x12 0x1 #NetworkInfo+0x62
0x13 0x3 Unused
0x16 0x1 s8 #NetworkInfo+0x66, clamped to range 1-8.
0x17 0x1 s8 #NetworkInfo+0x67, clamped to range 1-8.
0x18 0x1C0(0x38*8) Array of the below node struct.
0x1D8 0x2 Unused
0x1DA 0x2 #NetworkInfo+0x26A
0x1DC 0x180 #NetworkInfo+0x26C
0x35C 0x19C Unused
0x4F8 0x8 [6.0.0+] #NetworkInfo+0x478

The data here is copied into #NetworkInfo.

Node data used in the above array (all fields big-endian), which are copied into the #NetworkInfo #NodeInfo array:

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 #Ipv4Address
0x4 0x6 #MacAddress
0xA 0x1 bool IsConnected
0xB 0x1 Unused
0xC 0x20 First 0x20-bytes of #UserConfig.
0x2C 0x2 s16 LocalCommunicationVersion
0x2E 0xA Unused
