I'm a little confused as to what this actually is. It's a version of linux that can run apps compiled for the iPhone?

- jurre 14y agoRe: apps Will it run iPhone OS apps? No, because I'm not aiming to have compatible high level frameworks. Just think about how much work is required to have a 100% compatible implementation of UIKit or Celestial. HOWEVER, the CoreOS part should be 100% (or 99%) compatible. Just not the higher level OS. If you're just interested in this because it will "run iOS apps" please go away.
- ajasmin 14y agoFrom what I understand it is a version of Linux that can run binaries compiled for the iPhone on an ARM chip but doesn't provide any of the higher level Cocoa libraries (i.e. no GUI stuff)

Lets go through it together: 1) "Implementation of Darwin" [1] 2) "On top of the Linux kernel" [2] 3) "Binary compatible with iOS 5.0" [3] 4) "The final goal is probably recreating the iPhone OS 1.0 stack" [4] -------- [1] "Darwin forms the core set of components upon which Mac OS X and iOS are based" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system) [2] "The main component of most computer operating systems" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing) [3] "In computing, a computer that can run the same binary code intended to be run on another computer is said to be binary-compatible" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code_compatibility http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code_compatibility [4] "Initial OS release". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history#iOS_1.x:_initial_OS_release http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history#iOS_1.x:_in...
