Migration services

Migration is a sysmodule designed for handling the Switch-to-Switch transfer system introduced in firmware 4.0.0.

With newer system-versions this sysmodule is only running when qlaunch is using migration from the relevant transfer menus (see ActivateMigrationService/DeactivateMigrationService).

mig:usr

This is "nn::migration::user::IService"

CreateUserMigrationServer

Takes a total of 0x18-bytes of input, a type-0x19 input buffer, a TransferMemory handle, returns an #IServer.

ResumeUserMigrationServer

Takes an input u32, a TransferMemory handle, returns an #IServer.

CreateUserMigrationClient

Takes an input u32, a type-0x19 input buffer, a TransferMemory handle, returns an #IClient.

ResumeUserMigrationClient

Takes an input u32, a TransferMemory handle, returns an #IClient.

GetSaveDataMigrationPolicyInfoAsync

Takes an ApplicationId, returns an #IAsyncSaveDataMigrationPolicyInfoContext.

This is used by qlaunch before the actual savedata transfer is started.

This starts a network request for save_data_migration_policy.

[20.0.0+] This was stubbed. The network request is no longer done and the various IAsyncSaveDataMigrationPolicyInfoContext cmds just return success (besides GetSystemEvent). GetSaveDataMigrationPolicyInfo just returns the data which was set during object creation.

CreateSaveDataMigrationServer

Takes a total of 0x20-bytes of input, a type-0x19 input buffer, a TransferMemory handle, returns an IServer.

ResumeSaveDataMigrationServer

Takes an input u32, a TransferMemory handle, returns an IServer.

Cmd1110

Takes a total of 0x18-bytes of input, a type-0x19 input buffer, a type-0x5 input buffer containing an array of u64s, and a TransferMemory handle. Returns an IServer.

This is identical to CreateSaveDataMigrationServer except the u64-array is passed directly instead of from a single input u64.

CreateSaveDataMigrationClient

Takes an input u32, a type-0x19 input buffer, a TransferMemory handle, returns an IClient.

ResumeSaveDataMigrationClient

Takes an input u32, a TransferMemory handle, returns an IClient.

Cmd2100

Takes 4-bytes of input, a type-0x19 input buffer containing a 0x100-byte struct, a handle. Returns an IServer.

Cmd2110

Takes 4-bytes of input, a handle. Returns an IServer.

Cmd2200

Takes 4-bytes of input, a type-0x19 input buffer containing a 0x100-byte struct, a handle. Returns an IClient.

On NX this just calls a logging func and returns an error.

Cmd2210

Takes 4-bytes of input, a handle. Returns an IClient.

On NX this just calls a logging func and returns an error.

Cmd2250

Takes a total of 0x18-bytes of input, a handle. Returns an IUnknown.

Cmd2260

Takes 4-bytes of input, a handle. Returns an IUnknown.

Cmd2280

This starts a network request for transfer_events/%lld/rollback.

Cmd2300

Takes a total of 0x18-bytes of input, a handle. Returns an IUploader.

Cmd2310

Takes 4-bytes of input, a handle. Returns an IUploader.

Cmd2400

Takes a total of 0x10-bytes of input, a handle. Returns an IDownloader.

GetServerProfile

Takes a type-0x1A output buffer containing a ServerProfile.

PrepareAsync

No input, returns an IAsyncContext.

Besides various other functionality, the async task also uses functionality similar to GetSaveDataMigrationPolicyInfoAsync, throwing an error if needed.

[20.0.0+] The above policy functionality is no longer present. This now eventually uses network request transfer_events/start.

WaitConnectionAsync

No input, returns an IAsyncContext.

The async task does the following:

• ...
• Initializes the data used for the AdvertiseData.
• Calls a func which:
  • Calls a func which handles ldn initialization and network creation. SetProtocol is also used with a value from state.
  • Calls a func which:
    • Handles setup for the server socket.
    • Uses SetAdvertiseData with the above AdvertiseData buffer.
    • Waits for a ldn Node to connect, with timeout etc handling.
    • Then SetStationAcceptPolicy is used with value 3 (WhiteList), and AddAcceptFilterEntry is used.
  • Calls a func which waits for a socket connection (with timeout etc), and handles socket setup for it.
  • Uses SetAdvertiseData with buf/size = 0 (empty AdvertiseData).
  • Uses SetStationAcceptPolicy with value 1 (AlwaysReject).
  • Enters a loop waiting for a state field to become value 0x3. Two funcs are called repeatedly in this loop, with cleanup and return being handled if these return error.
    • The first func receives socket data and handles it. The second func calls a func to get data for sending, then sends the socket data. Both have timeout etc handling.
  • Updates state and returns 0.
• ...

ServerProfile

This is a 0x100-byte struct.

It's unknown whether user/savedata/device use the same struct (size is the same for these).

Any data here which is initialized is usually zeros?

AdvertiseData

These sections document the initial AdvertiseData used by migration.

The global constant used with hashing below is the same regardless of the AdvertiseData.

Later the server also sets the AdvertiseData to {0x10-byte Uuid previously used below}.

The Uuid used below is generated with nn::util::GenerateUuid.

user

Used by nn::migration::user::*.

Offset	Size	Description
0x0	0x8	AccountId
0x8	0x58	Unused
0x60	0x100	ServerProfile
0x160	0x20	SHA256 hash

The hash is calculated by using SHA256-update with each field separately, followed by global constant:

• AccountId
• ServerProfile
• 0x100-byte global constant

savedata

Used by nn::migration::savedata::*.

Offset	Size	Description

0x54	0xC	Unused
0x60	0x100	ServerProfile
0x160	0x20	SHA256 hash

The hash is calculated by using SHA256-update with each field separately, followed by global constant:

• +0x50 size 0x4-bytes
• ServerProfile

Notes

Savedata transfer ("nn::migration::savedata::IServer"/"nn::migration::savedata::IClient") requires that accounts are linked to the same network-account. acc:su IManagerForSystemService GetAccountId is used here. The server stores this Id into state, and also stores it in the ldn AdvertiseData. The client also verifies the Id in AdvertiseData against the Id from GetAccountId for the account(s) being used, during ScanServersAsync.

[20.0.0+] ISaveDataTransferManagerWithDivision is now used instead of ISaveDataTransferManager. Besides SetKeySeedPackage being used now as needed, SetLocalKeySeedPackage is now used by the relevant functionality in IClient TransferNextAsync.

[S2] qlaunch now has an additional menu once send-savedata is selected, for selecting whether to send to Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2. If Switch 2 is selected, and there's a S1 receiving, the S2 will display a message regarding wrong target system. The receiving system also displays an error. Note that savedata for S2-only applications is only listed with the dest-S2 option (S1-applications are also listed).
