Booting

  1. Install syringe package in chroot: pmbootstrap chroot --add syringe
  2. Enter DFU mode (hold Power and Home with USB connected to computer)
  3. load openiboot
$ loadibec openiboot-ipad1g.bin

expect script for automating booting with oibc: 

#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn oibc

send "!/path/to/vmlinuz\r"
sleep 0.1
send "\r"
expect "Received file"
send "kernel \"console=tty0\"\r"
expect "Done: kernel"

send "!/path/to/initramfs\r"
sleep 0.1
send "\r"
expect "Received file"
send "initrd\r"
expect "Done: initrd"
send "wait_boot 15000\r"
expect "Done: boot"
  • Set console=ttySAC0 for UART console instead of framebuffer
  • earlycon=s3c2410,0x82500000 and keep_bootcon may be useful too.
