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.

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.

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.

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

Network protocol

ldn

A beacon and Action frame are broadcasted. The SSID in the beacon is hidden (32-bytes with value 0).

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.

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, the Station will throw an error if it can't find a matching #MacAddress for itself here. 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.

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.

The Action frames have the following structure:

• "Fixed parameters":
  • "Category code: Vendor Specific (127)"
• The Data starts with the #ActionHeader.

<fill this in>

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: {...}"
    • Depends on the frame:
    • 0x0102: #Authentication
    • 0x0103: ?
• 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	Type? Must be 0x1-0xF.
0x1	0x1	Low u8 for the size.
0x2	0x1	Status. 0 = success, non-zero = error.
0x3	0x1	bool flag
0x4	0x1	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.

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	0x42	Zeros, unused by the AccessPoint.
0xAC	0x300	Authentication challenge data, only used in certain cases. 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	0x84	Only included in the frame if it's enabled. Unused by the Station.
0xCC	0x100	If enabled, Authentication challenge response data. Not included in the frame if it's not enabled.
