It may be quite some time before a compatible version is available.How can we help on getting Rockbox on the 2G Nano? Is there something we can do - beside of ripping the iPod apart? P.ex.: I have VERY limited knowledge of C - and if I say "VERY limited", I mean it We need someone with cryptography experience (or a very good understanding of ARM assembly) to crack the encryption used in the Apple firmware. Then interested developers could start reverse engineering work by looking at Apple's firmware. Until someone does this, its unlikely that any progress will be made.Theres no need for anyone to open up their ipod, that wouldn't tell you much of anything useful at this point.

The 2G iPod Nano has very different hardware. It may be quite some time before a compatible version is available.
Here's what we've discovered over at the iPL camp.Much of this is speculation, but it's based on actual investigations of the Nano 2G.The entire OSOS image (the "Apple OS") is encrypted. There's no magic piece of code that decrypts the rest of the image.The image probably gets decrypted by the FlashROM bootloader (i.e, the one not on disk)
Has anyone suceeded in dumping the bootloader ROM? Â
