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) 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.

- pmos branch, old scheme, aports/main/openiboot would need to be copied to the new pmaports.git
