29 Nov 08 Linux Working iPhone?
It looks like some restless hackers have managed to install Linux on an iPhone. We’ve seen someone claim he had installed Windows Mobile on an iPhone before and I guess it was a matter of time only for someone to wonder if Linux would work.
Here’s what’s working on the Linux iPhone and what isn’t:
- 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
Would you trade your Apple OS to Linux for your iPhone?
