EmCORE Releases

Here is a list of all builds of emCORE that have been released into public so far.

Please do not use any other builds unless you really know what you're doing!

r692: April 6th, 2011

Release notes / Known issues

• The boot menu occasionally locks up for a still unknown reason. Rebooting the iPod the hard way by holding the menu and select buttons for 5 seconds should help.
• The display doesn't work on some iPod Nano 2G devices. If this happens to you, we suggest to stick with iLoader for now.
• The boot menu seems to cause some memory corruption. This does not seem to affect normal users though.
• Reducing the CPU core voltage on the iPod Classic has been disabled. Battery life might be adversely affected.

Fixes / Improvements

• Disabled undervolting for the iPod Classic
• Fixed a kernel bug that causes lockups when injecting a firmware image while the boot menu is updating the display.

r674: March 25th, 2011

Release notes / Known issues

• This is the first public release, so please be aware that there might be a bunch of still unknown bugs in the wild.
• The boot menu occasionally locks up for a still unknown reason. Rebooting the iPod the hard way by holding the menu and select buttons for 5 seconds should help.
• The display doesn't work on some iPod Nano 2G devices. If this happens to you, we suggest to stick with iLoader for now.
• This release reduces the CPU core voltage to conserve battery power, but apparently by a bit too much for some iPod Classic devices, causing all kinds of weird behavior. This was disabled in the r692 release, so please update if you suspect that you're affected by this.
• The boot menu seems to cause some memory corruption. This does not seem to affect normal users though.
• We found a kernel bug in this release that causes lockups when injecting a firmware image while the boot menu is updating the display. This should not affect normal users.

Fixes / Improvements

• Initial public emCORE release
