			For the [[Nano 2G]], you will have to chainload the rockbox bootloader with u-boot.

			To do this, we assume you have already built u-boot dtbs along with Linux.

			To create the mImage, run this command inside your Linux folder:

			$ ./create_image.sh

			Note: if it dosen’t work, you will have to make it executable, usually by running:

			$ chmod +x create_image.sh


			After it creates the mImage, go to your u-boot folder and build u-boot.bin.

			$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- -j $(nproc) u-boot.bin

			Now generate a fake rockbox.ipod that tricks it into starting U-Boot:

			$ ./tools/mkimage -T ipod -d u-boot.bin rockbox.ipod

			Copy this new rockbox.ipod into the .rockbox folder on your iPod nano 2G.
