is there any scope of finding vulnerabilities, being able to execute code through the nike+ ipod kits? as in control the alter the sensor to send modified data to the ipod through the kit? i guess we havent already tried that. -- User:Psgarcha92, 19:29, 21 November 2010

I don't the sensor will ever send data that's complex enough for the parser to have an exploitable bug. --TheSeven 18:22, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello.my classic 3g's HDD just broke,as no one provide classic 3g's PCB scan yet,if l4n need this,i will snap some photos of it.. Then where should i upload it? -- User:sinless

I think you should upload them here [1] and then add them to the Classic 3G page. --Benedikt93 15:00, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

OK.I will take apart it soon,and does anybody know can classic work with a ssd? -- User:sinless 23:00, 17 December 2010 (GMT+8)

It should be able to handle pretty much everything that's PATA or CE-ATA, and the OF also supports LBA48. --TheSeven 13:49, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I just took apart my classic 3g,but the only camera I can use is Nokia 5310..the pictures are not clear enough Notice that my classic(MC293,160GB,firmware 2.o.4)'s motherboard is the same to the 2g classic board in hardware page,Apple's mark is the same 820-2437-- User:sinless 21:00, 21 December 2010 (GMT+8)

Asked about IPL on the Nano 2G

When will I be able to use ipl on my Nano 2g? I assume it needs to be ported, but I don't know how to do so. Is there someone working on that? --ArthuruhtrA

AFAIK no --TheSeven 00:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Can you point me to any sort of information that would help me do it? The IPL site is down currently, no idea when it will be up. I do have the files found on SourceForge, but they are not very recent. I also have no experience with this, and don't want to brick my iPod. However, I may be able to get a spare Nano 2G to try it on. Thanks. --ArthuruhtrA

I found this mirror of the ipl site last updated in '09. That is more recent. --ArthuruhtrA

I don't have much more either, and I don't think there are newer files. iPodLinux hasn't really been developed any more for quite some time now. As this is a completely different architecture, I would suggest throwing the iPL kernel away and starting from a recent vanilla kernel, but I haven't really dealt with Linux kernels myself yet, so I probably can't help you much with this. --TheSeven 07:23, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

If I can port it, will you create the installer/incorporate it into what you have? And can you help me with porting to an extent? I bet you know more about it then I do. I got the latest kernel from linux.org (released yesterday) and the old kernel from ipl, and will look in them, and hopefully find something that I can do, but I don't quite know what I'm doing, as I don't quite understand the ipod as well as you. Should I be using the uCLinux kernel instead? --ArthuruhtrA

I really don't know anything about embedded Linux. IIUC uCLinux is a fork of Linux 2.4 for MMU-less systems, but someone told me that the Linux 2.6 branch supports those natively. That's about everything I can tell you regarding Linux. I will of course be able to help you on the hardware side of things, i.e. answer questions about the hardware and the drivers emBIOS uses. What I certainly won't to is incorporating any kind of non-FAT filesystem support into my tools, as this would be a huge amount of work. But if the user handles creating an e.g. ext2 partition himself and the installer only needs to copy some files and add Linux to the iLoader menu, that's rather trivial. --TheSeven 13:13, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
