hi i've just installed linux on my 15gb 3g ipod and it works (means the kernel is booting) the only problem ist that the contrast is very low, so it is very difficult to see the messagges on the display. is there any possibility to change the contrast ? thanks for all tobi |

No IP-over-FW? This seems odd - I was thinking that one of the main uses for IP/FW was for maybe making the iPod double as a file server (or music server) for a home network.

Good evening I have been trying to get the the iPod loader to work for a while now however when I reach the step of building the firmware I get the following error: fread failed: Unknown error: 0 As another qus I am using Mac OS X to do this and I have sucessfuly compliled and run the kernel so I don't think it has anything to do with the cross-compiler.

Hi all, Thanks to your pointers I am a proud owner of an iPod which is running Linux! I've got a few problems however : I decided to try out building the kernal on my mac, and it worked fine. I still intend to try out the x86 toolchain, which i'll do this evening. However, I couldn't get the bootloader to work at all. When I reset the iPod, the apple logo appears, and after a couple of seconds, the screen goes dark (As in, the contrast goes up to maximum) but is displaying Tux. Regardless of which button I press, or which order I put the images in in the bootloader image, the iPod just boots to diskmode. Any ideas to what is causing this? Patching the original firmwire with my compiled kernel without using the bootloader works fine though. With the kernel compiled from my Mac, and installing onto my Mac-formatted iPod, the kernel panics saying it can't mount the root partition (Which I formatted using newfs_msdos) - I'm (almost) 100% sure I compiled FAT32 and UMSDOS support in. However, using the latest pre-compiled for-mac-ipods kernel from the sf site, it works fine. I know most of you guys are using PCs (and I'll be setting up the toolchain on my PC this evening, which may help), but if you have any pointers, I'll welcome them! Also, does anyone regularly hang out on #ipodlinux? The couple of times I've been in there, no-one has been about. Regards, Carl. |

Would it be possible to just take the two data lines of a standard 10-BT cable and hook them to the data lines of an FW cable (probably with some voltage regulators in their to match voltage/impedance) It wouldn't be IP-over-FW, but could the FW chip be forced to work with the standard 10-BT electrical protocol?

I also haven't mapped the USB interface (or identified the actual USB chip). Once thats done we need to work out how to write a usb driver for linux for the interface. Unfortunately even when thats working its unlikely that you'll be able to plug in your camera. It should be possible to run ethernet over usb like we have for firewire though. How about keyboard support? Joe |

Just to throw in my 2c, there are some parts of the website that could do with an update (I'm looking forward to looking at David's updates :) but for the most part its all good. I'm waiting for a new uClinux patch for the latest 2.4 kernel after which I hope to get a new build and updated documentation together. None of that is likely to happen until after my winter/summer break :) I'll be home again mid Jan. cheers, bern.

The boot loader also Has anyone made any progress on downloading and decompiling (to assembly) the iPod firmware code? True, we don't have symbol information for the images (and won't, unless they release DDKs for the iPod at some point). I'm wondering if there's anything in there that looks like the ARM RDI (remote debugging interface), or maybe even (if we're very, VERY lucky, which is very unlikely) something that looks like the old Hammer protocol used on Newton (protocol is being deciphered by Fillip Zawadiak, poke around at http://philz.freezope.org/newton).

If you plugged a Linux running iPod into a normal iPod via firewire the normal iPod should boot into its diskmode and the Linux iPod should be able to use sbp2 to get a /dev/sda device which is the normal iPod's HDD. I don't have two iPods though so I've never tried it. cheers, bern.

Unfortunately, we are in the middle of the desert or jungle or just on a plane or something, and there is no laptop in sight. Fortunately, I've got linux running on my iPod, so I should be able to mount my buddy's iPod as a firewire drive and download whatever music I want. Sucks to be him, but cool for me :) Now how might I go about doing that?

Hi Marcel, The XMODEM stuff has been there since the very early firmware and it looks like its part of some serial debug interface. In the diagnostic firmware there are reads and writes to a serial device but there is no access to the actual pins on the older iPods. The boot loader also seems to use the same serial interface (and actually provides quite a bit of functionality via it). Its possible that there is a serial out pin on the G3 iPods (g1 and g2 have serial input via the headphone jack for the remote control) but its unlikely that they can access this debug functionality. cheers, bern.

Hi Gordon, I have run NFS on the iPod but it wasn't 100% reliable. The problems I think were due to bugs in the firwire driver though so probably could be resolved. The big problem though is that the firewire support is _slow_. There is no DMA from the firewire controller so everything is polled IO and to make things worse the FIFOs aren't that big. It could probably run a lot better than what it does at the moment but I'm still not sure it would be fast enough. I couldn't see any problem running SMB, CVS or FTP as they all run fine on uClinux. I think there is also a HTTP server. You might want to look into the uClinux mailing lists for what software is running. Basically if it works on uClinux it should run on the iPod. As for Firewire to ethernet, there isn't anything that I'm aware of. So you'd need firewire + drivers to get it to work. The newer iPods with USB _should_ be able to run USB ethernet which may be a little easier/common but sofar I haven't done any USB support. cheers, bern.

Firewire isn't working on the new iPods as they have changed the hardware interface between the firewire chip and the PP5002 (probably as a result of adding the USB chip). The changes to the hardware interface have been partially identified but there is still something missing. I also haven't mapped the USB interface (or identified the actual USB chip). Once thats done we need to work out how to write a usb driver for linux for the interface. Unfortunately even when thats working its unlikely that you'll be able to plug in your camera. It should be possible to run ethernet over usb like we have for firewire though. cheers, bern.

My computer died, and I had hard times getting my data back from a currupted hard disk and buying another notebook. I think the current documentation about building the kernel is quite up to date. I think about any linux distro on an ix86 would work if the correct toolchain is installed. You should use the most recent 2.95 arm toolchain from the uClinux site, I haven't tried building one from scratch. The native toolchain doesn't matter, the native code is standard unix c, it should build with any gcc from the last couple of years :) If you use a different architecture, you're currently on your own... I don't have any other box to test on, neither does Bernard. For the kernel, you should start with 2.4.20-uc0, the CVS tree on the uClinux site has many things updated so the current patch would be really hard to apply. For the ipodlinux kernel files you should use a CVS checkout. For the userspace I used the latest uClinux distrib, built from sources, it worked fine. For the loader, the CVS version is more current than the 0.3 release. It fixes some big-endian bugs and a small misfeature of the g3 ipod keyboard handling, but the release should also work fine if you're using an intel box (but on a g3 ipod with hold on it would boot the second image, not the first). If you have a g3 ipod, you should disable firewire, because the fw initialization breaks the ide controller.

It should be fine, my previous machine was a mobile pentium mmx 300, and it worked fine... I'm using Debian sid currently, Bern uses Gentoo, and I've tested the native ipodloader code (not the arm part, I didn't have enough disk space to build a crosscompiler - it's a shared university server) on a sun ultra enterprise running 64bit solaris. Oh, and one last word: many people keep asking about firmware versions. Anything above 1.20 should work fine.

I still have my documentation. I haven't received any word from Daniel, but perhaps Bernard will look through it and post it to the website once I send it to him. I ran YDL 3.0 and Redhat Linux 8.0 to build the linux kernel. I seem to remember having trouble building or running something (might have been the bootloader) with YDL, but it might have just been running too slow to tell since I was on a 500Mhz machine.

Hi all, Although I've been following the project for a while now, I've only just decided to go ahead and put Linux on my iPod. From reading the mailing list, I get the impression some of the documentation on the site might be a little out of date, so I would like to confirm whether this is the case, or just being a little paranoid I'm not going to be able get it working! As a slight aside, which linux dists people are running to build the ipod kernels on? I have a choice of already-installed Suse 8.2 and Gentoo 1.4 (Which both use gcc 3.x I believe), or installing another dist. Any recommendations? And finally, all the best for 2004 to the people involved with this project (And the lurkers who are not!) Best Regards, Carl. |

I dumped the system partition of my ipod and did a "strings fw_ipod | less" which gave me some interesting results. Doesn't anyone expect that the original firmware don't use some form of a very basic debug interface ? I saw some XMODEM strings and others. I could imagine that at least two of the pins on the bottom connector can be for a serial line ? Are all pins of the connector known yet ?

Thanks. Fixed in CVS, along with a small misfeature of the g3. It was booting to the second image by default if hold was on. -- Daniel ...and Linux for all. |
