Apple iPad 1G (apple-k48)
Appearance
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. |

- Install syringe package in chroot:
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"

console=ttySAC0
for UART console instead of framebuffer earlycon=s3c2410,0x82500000
andkeep_bootcon
may be useful too.
