Hi there, i'm new here and I was looking on the internet for a way to install ios on mini2440 with no luck, is it even possible? if yes, any lead would be appreciated, thanks
ios on mini2440 ?
Depends on if iOS is targeted to a specific feature set of the ARMs Apple is using. I suspect it is.
I doubt it would work out of the box. You won't have access to the source code and therefore won't be able to develop drivers so easily. iOS is a closed source OS and it works on x86 and ARM processors but the ARM is the one used in the iPHONE and this as Charlie points out, is a different feature set. Just look at the source code for Android and you will see that different processors even ARM ones, have a different set of drivers depending on the feature set. There is a set for the 2440, 6410 and now the S5PV210 processor that FriendlyARM are using. You should look at Linux for the mini2440 as this is the easiest from whet I can see to get running on the limited resources this board has. iOS is built upon a unix type OS anyway but closed source. With Linux you have full access to all the source and can build what you want. I am enjoying this fact with Android and have a custom Android version running on my Mini210 without all the extra stuff that comes with the default image. :o) Good luck and enjoy the fun with these boards.

Thanks a lot guys for the tips, I already worked with Android and Linux, just wanted to make sure that there isn't a version of ios for the mini2440, seems not. Glory to open source :) And thanks again, Cheers,
