Seem also the iOS clone was meant to run on generic hardware, not Apple's. What you could do is maybe try find a rom image from the iOS v4-v5 times when they distributed the OS as a full rom file. Running an older version of iOS would surely make your device run smoothly (although not as fun as putting FreeBSD on it :)) If not, jailbreaking might solve your problem. > As beginner to FreeBSD ARM tried to search the archive but to date have > not found anything relevant. > Have I missed anything? > Ken > > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
