iPhone Linux Demonstration Video from planetbeing on Vimeo.
After reverse engineering the original kernel, some hackers have gotten their own version of Linux to run on the iPhone, proving that the first gen iPhone will live on as a hacker and hobbyists tool for a decade. They’ve got BusyBox running on the processor and the team reports that the following systems are working:
– Framebuffer driver
– Serial driver
– Serial over USB driver
– Interrupts, MMU, clock, 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
– Wireless networking
– Touchscreen
– Sound
– Accelerometer
– Baseband support
What did YOU do this holiday?
