Apple iPad 1G (apple-k48)
Appearance
(Redirected from Apple iPad 1G (apple-ipad1g))
This device has been tested with postmarketOS, but its device package has not yet been added to the postmarketOS repositories. This means that it cannot be selected in pmbootstrap. Status: Can boot into a mainline linux kernel, but the bootloader isn't persistent so it can only boot tethered. |

pmbootstrap chroot --add syringe
- Enter DFU mode (hold and with USB connected to computer)
- 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"

for UART console instead of framebuffer earlycon=s3c2410,0x82500000
andkeep_bootcon
may be useful too.
