Linux Ported Successfully onto iPhone!

Lately it seems as though people are finding ways to do more and more with their iPhones. Well I am starting to believe this statement as it seems that there has been a successful port of the 2.6 Linux Kernel working on the iPhone! Although they haven’t gotten all of the drivers functioning yet I can bet that it will only be a matter of time before they get more and more stuff working which is simply amazing in my book. Even more cool this works on both generations of the iPhone as well as the first generation of the iPod Touch! If I can ever get around to getting my hands on one of these suckers I defiantly plan on trying it out since I have become somewhat of a Linux fan as of late!

What we have:

- Framebuffer driver
- Serial driver
- Serial over USB driver
- Interrupts, MMU, clock, etc.

What we have in openiboot (but hasn’t been ported yet):

- Read-only support for the NAND

What we don’t have (yet!):

- Write support for the NAND
- Wireless networking
- Touchscreen
- Sound
- Accelerometer
- Baseband support

Here is a video of a short demonstration:

Here is a LINK to download the files needed! Also, here is a LINK to the readme.txt if you would like to try it for yourself! So enjoy!!
