new ipods - rockbox port proposal

--- Quote from: scorche on September 10, 2007, 01:48:29 AM ---As they have done nothing for the second gen Nanos, one should not expect much (not saying this will happen...just providing a base). Waiting for other people to do things is never a good decision as we suggest a lot on these forums. If you wish for a port to happen, one must take charge and work on it themselves to be sure it will happen.

So why don't we raise some funds to get some new ipods for devs who have offered to take it apart...
Wouldn't that be enough to get the ball rolling (a couple of ipods + a couple of devs)???
GodEater:
Assuming the current firmware is encrypted, just having the hardware won't help much. I know of at least one dev who already has access to the 2nd Gen Nano - and as you know - nothing's happened on that front at all.

Just a question, isn't it possible to hack the update that are loaded onto the iPod when you update them through iTunes??
LambdaCalculus:
If it were that easy, don't you think we'd have a port for the 2nd Gen nano already? Apple put some very nasty encryption on the 2nd Gen nano, as well as the new iPod Classic and the 3rd Gen nano.
Besides, I believe someone already tried this and failed. You can search the forums to confirm.

I highly dout that this will hellp but i found this of wikipedia.org
it says that the 2nd gen uses a ARM Processor
