UNIX on the iPhone!

I'm content to declare that the UNIX 2.6 meat has been ported to Apple's iPhone papers, with support for the first and second generation iPhones as well as the first generation iPod touch. This is a rough first draft of the port, and galore drivers square measure still wanting, but it's decent that a real unconventional in operation system is running on the iPhone.

<br>

What we have:

- Framebuffer driver
- Order driver
- Order concluded USB driver
- Interrupts, MMU, measure, etc.

What we have in openiboot (but hasn't been ported yet):

- Read-only support for the NAND

What we don't have (yet!):

- Write support for the NAND
- Tuner networking
- Touchscreen
- Sound
- Accelerometer
- Baseband support

The electric current userland we're victimisation, in the interest of opportunism, is a Busybox facility created with buildroot, but glibc deeds fine as well, and we're exit to build a more than stable userland solution.

A visual communication video recording can be seen Hera: http://www.vimeo.com/2373142

Manual Hera: http://www.iphone-dev.org/planetbeing/LINUX-README.txt

Transfer Hera: http://91.186.26.18/iphone/files/iphonelinux-demo.tar.gz (look for mirrors in the comments)

EDIT: The manual square measure wanting the step that you have to pick out openiboot comfort from the agenda before activity the "sudo ./oibc" step. Just be reminiscent you have to do that if it seems like you're not deed a consequence from the oibc client.

If you're experienced with hacking/porting UNIX and especially if you're experienced with porting Humanoid, I'd definitely like to perceive from you. Come chill in the #iphonelinux channel on irc.osx86.hu. Acknowledgement. :)

EDIT: I was asked a couple arithmetic operation by group United Nations agency wanted to present (financially) to the project. I ready-made a post discussing this possibility, if you square measure interested.

yellowsn0w live show

This week’s DevTeam Funday features a live show of yellowsn0w!

MuscleNerd will use Qik to transmit a live video recording and sound stream (from an iPhone 2G) of an iPhone 3G organism soft-unlocked with yellowsn0w. He’s in Florida for the holidays so here won’t actually be some C. P. Snow in the live show (although strangely decent if he were back home in Los Angeles he’d be precise close to C. P. Snow this week!).

Qik creates a site for its videos but it Gregorian calendar month not be workable to field questions live from the site. So if you have a question that hasn’t already been answered in our former communicate posts, gratify twirp them in advance to Musclenerd.

We’re aiming to do the live show in about 12 time period, or 3PM EST/9PM CET. The existent URL will be tweeted via MuscleNerd’s chirrup account just as it starts.

Hope to see you there!

UPDATE - 3.13PM EST/9.13 CET

MuscleNerd is demoing it live!

UPDATE - 2.52PM EST/8.52 CET

Get your Zea mays and soft drink ready for the piping feature, here Gregorian calendar month be a little change spell MuscleNerd aligns his tv camera and inserts his cables , look out for the stream URL on MuscleNerd’s twitter

UPDATE - 1.45PM EST/7.45 CET

Here is a short video recording from MuscleNerd’s Qik account that has no athletic competition aggregation that relates to his AT&T SIM card. This also demonstrates the video recording and sound quality that you should reckon during the visual communication. We plan to capture the VNC academic term that you can see in the background so that we can post a more than detailed video recording later.
