Apple iPod Touch 1G (apple-ipt1g)
WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it. The processor of the device may support the armv7 architecture. If so, you can modify the device package and change the architecture accordingly. |

Progress
We have GCC 4 package now! See also https://gitlab.com/scintill/pmaports/tree/device/ipad1, with standard gcc build of openiboot. |
The iPod can boot Linux with the openiboot firmware which has to be build first. The openiboot firmware is not made for GCC6 and requires a few patches, it's also written for the arm-elf toolchain but it can be built with the arm-eabi toolchain for now which seems to work.
This is also the slowest device yet since it uses a 412 Mhz ARMv6 single-core cpu (Samsung S5L8900) and 128 MB ram. It has also has a PowerVR GPU which can cause trouble with porting.

- Another fork of the iDroid kernel with more complete A4 support
- iphonelinux kernel, separate from the OpeniBoot project.
- pmos branch, old scheme, aports/main/openiboot would need to be copied to the new pmaports.git
