Motivation for this change

The Fusée Launcher is a proof-of-concept arbitrary code loader for a variety of Tegra processors, which takes advantage of CVE-2018-6242 ("Fusée Gelée") to gain arbitrary code execution and load small payloads over USB.

It launches custom firmware payloads for the Nintendo Switch, essentially. It's useful to have running as a systemd service so that you can plug in the switch and auto-exploit it.

Other than the nitpick with the version, this looks fine. Everything acts as it should, my (old) semi-private build did pretty much the same thing, but in less elegant ways.

I also just verified that the build works with real hardware.

Thanks for the contribution!
