checkra1n (current jailbreak for devices with A10 or older chips) is based on a BootROM exploit, so thankfully I can keep my iPad on newer iOS versions and remain jailbroken.
- pabs3 7y agoDo you know if checkra1n could eventually allow Linux based operating systems like Android or Debian to run on Apple mobile hardware?
- kccqzy 7y agoWho's going to write the drivers?
- nemosaltat 7y agoYeah, I sunk a few hours into trying to get Docker running on a jailbroken iPhone. It’d be awesome if all the arm work done for Raspi (et al) since the last hey day of Jailbreaking, could be easily ported to arm64 (Darwin)
- jsjohnst 7y agoRaspberry PI runs the Linux kernel, hence Docker is a relatively easy lift. iPhone runs Darwin, which has none of the low level primitives in the kernel (cgroups, namespaces, etc) that Linux does, so good luck with that!
- pabs3 7y agoPerhaps the same folks who previously had Android running on the iPhone 3G a decade ago: https://linuxoniphone.blogspot.com/2010/05/android-on-iphone-3g.html https://linuxoniphone.blogspot.com/2010/05/android-on-iphone...
- simonh 7y agoThe 3G had a commodity Samsung CPU core and 'off the shelf' third party subsidiary components, the drivers for which were available. Modern Apple custom in-house chips not so much.
- inickt 7y agoIt is possible, and I believe a few of the developers of checkra1n/some of the community has expressed interest in running Linux. Whether or not it happens who knows.
- iliketosleep 7y ago> A10 or older chips Actually it's A11 or older, which is even better.
- marcoperaza 7y agoI was disappointed to see that the authors have decided to keep it closed source for now. Has anyone done a security audit of it?
