Linux for the iPod Nano!

This is an open source venture into porting Linux onto the iPod Nano and all other iPod devices.

So far, a customized uClinux kernel has been successfully ported to several iPods by iPodLinuxProject. Note that, others are also quite successful for other operating systems (e.g. Rockbox). A simple interface and additional applications/modules have been written too. Unfortunately, Apple has protected iPods firmware through encryption since the iPod Nano 2G.

Our goal is to discover, collect, synthesize and publish as much information as possible about the iPods protection scheme in order to boot other operating systems on it.

Note that we are planning to merge back with iPodLinux or Rockbox project when we will get enough information for booting on the protected iPods.

Check it out here!
