(Optional) In order to build [sept](components/sept.md) the pycryptodome PyPi package is required, which can be installed by running `pip install pycryptodome` under the installed Python environment of your choice or by installing the complete zip package to support the `make dist` recipe. This is an optional step included for advanced users who have the ability to provide the necessary encryption/signing keys themselves.

-    + `SEPT_01_ENC_PATH` (must point to the `sept-secondary_01.enc` file)

-# sept
-Sept is a payload that facilitates booting Atmosphère when targeting firmware version 7.0.0+.
-
-It consists of a primary and a secondary payload.
-
-## sept-primary
-sept-primary is essentially a stand-in for Nintendo's package1ldr, on 7.0.0+. To use it, the caller (normally fusée-secondary) loads the sept-primary binary to `0x4003F000`, loads the 7.0.0+ TSEC firmware to `0x40010F00`, and loads a signed, encrypted payload to `0x40016FE0`.
-
-This signed, encrypted payload is normally sept-secondary.
-
-## sept-secondary
-sept-secondary is a payload that performs 7.0.0+ key derivation, and then chainloads to `sept/payload.bin`.
-
-It is normally stored encrypted/signed. Therefore, if one wishes to build sept-secondary instead of using release builds, one must bring their own keys.
