iOS Extraction

[Auzeras]

ill admit, the iOS is a nice bit of software, too bad its suckered up with the big apple!!!

 

I'm part of a dev team who are building MT (multi touch tables) right now we have 3 OS's running, a linux/ubuntu, Windows and Leopard. however we were wondering. instead of writing lots of stuff up, why not use an existing OS, say iOS? its been jailbroken and exploited over and over but is the kernel able to be modified to it will run on different hardware and respond to touch inputs from apps like CCV?

 

Just a guess and the amount of modifying is so great its probably not worth it still, is it possible?

Probably No. Because iOS firmware is encrypted. It can only be decrypted by a chip located in iOS compatible (read iPhone/iPod/iPad/iSuck) device. But let's assume that you some how managed to decrypt it, then you will need an ARM processor based device to run it.

Or recompile the kernel for another processor.
