iBugger on the 4G Nano

This is the wiki for the Linux4nano project. Linux4nano has a fairly active IRC channel, #linux4nano-dev on Freenode for development related discussion. Please save questions and comments for #linux4nano. There is a project homepage and a mailing list, but these two are rarely updated.

Updates

• 2010/08/02 - serpilliere managed to decrypt the NOR flash on the Nano 3G.
• 2010/08/01 - serpilliere managed to access and dump the NOR flash on the Nano 3G. This code could possibly work on the Classics.
• 2010/07/27 - The server got zapped by lightning but a new one was up and running within a day.
• 2010/02/23 - We can now execute code on everything besides the 5th generation iPod Nano! Minimalistic iBugger working on Nano 3G!
• 2009/11/01 - iBugger core v0.1 successfully running on 4G nano! [1]
• 2009/10/26 - USB now (somewhat) functional on 4G Nano via iBugger! This will be used instead of UART to dump memories.
• 2009/10/07 - RB for 2G Nano is close to being stable. Working on UART for 4G - anyone have an iPT 2G+know about ARM7_go? Hop on #linux4nano-dev if you do
• 2009/09/16 - We now have code execution on the 4G Nano! Also, *VERY* primitive Rockbox running on 2G Nano.
