Ipod - Linux Bootconsole

Music players from Apple. Linux support existed for initial models via iPod Linux (uClinux kernel 2.4).

• Full list of models here: http://www.ipodlinux.org/Project_Status/

Many Nano models that do not support iPod Linux directly are either Rockbox-supported, or have similar hardware configurations to their counterparts. This means that with some reverse-engineering or Rockbox and similar it should be possible to adapt a build to run on most models

Some iPod Nano models have work done by [freemyipod https://freemyipod.org/] project:
