Rockbox Development > New Ports
Nano 2G
dstan:
if it would help apple just released a new firmware and the people at ipw got ipodwizard to detect the new nanos
axlgreasetires:
I'm Somewhat glad Rockbox doesn't work on the 2nd gens yet. I'm thinking of getting one. The reason for that is I messed around with experimental 5g programming and stuff. So now I won't be able to mess up the nano because Ipodlinux also doesn't work for it yet. I'm going to take my 5g to the Apple store to see if I can get it replaced. Is there any busy work I could do that could somehow help devel. I will not do hi-res scans or any disecting of the nano.
L:
If you take your 5g to be replaced, chances are, it will be replace with a new 5.5g and that doesn't work with RockBox either. Well officially at least.
homielowe:
nope,i replaced my 5G after the 5.5G came out and I just got another black 5G

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 :D

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.

Ok, I am willing to help. I know symmetric and assymetric encryption. How am I gonna start?
