Label	Component	Part	Markings	Notes
2	CPU	Samsung S5L8730	339S0081 ARM, K4X51323PG-UGC6, EDE168AG 0928, APL0378A00, N1X2XW 0931	Printed backwards on the chip - how sneaky. ARM1176JZF-S core (per CP15 data).
	SDRAM			Integrated into the processor, similar to the iPod Touch and iPhone lines.
8	NAND Flash	Various 8/16 GB chips	TH58NVG6D2ELA49, ID8038, TAIWAN, 09299AE	One example is TH58NVG6D2ELA49 visible on the iFixit Teardown
1	Power manager	Probably Dialog	338S0707, -AD, 09278HGZ	Similar looking and named chips like this have been power managers. Apple uses chips like these in just about every device.

5	Audio codec	Cirrus Logic CLI1480A	338S0559, ATWV0926, SGP	Also found in the Touch 3G. Stereo CODEC w/ Headphone and Speaker Amp
6	Accelerometer	LIS331DLM	33DM, 2910	The newer Touch's, iPhone's, and even the iPad have similar accelerometers, and I've discovered a pattern in the chip names.

Code Execution

Code execution on the Nano 5G was achieved by blindly porting wInd3x.

Clock Gates

The clock gate registers are:

Address	Name
0x3C500048	GATES[0]
0x3C50004C	GATES[1]
0x3C500058	GATES[4]
0x3C500068	GATES[8]
0x3C50006C	GATES[9]

GATES[2, 3, 5, 6, 7], etc seem to be unused. A clock is enabled by setting a corresponding bit (GATE[n][m]) low. The following clock gates have been extracted by analyzing debug structures in OSOS. We also provide the 'numerical' argument that can be passed to the clkgen_{enable,disable}_gate function calls in the BootROM. The BootROM will automatically enable some function-related gates together if one is specified. This is probably a leftover from earlier codebases where one functionality would correspond to one clock gate bit, while now a functionality might be gated behind multiple bits.
