Enthusiasts were able to successfully load the Linux 5.18 core on the Apple iPad tablet computers built on ARM chips a7 and a8 . Currently, the work is still limited to linux adaptation for iPad Air, iPad Air 2 and some iPad mini, but there are no fundamental problems for using the operating rooms and for other devices on the Apple A7 and A8 chips, such as the iPhone 5S and Homepod, produced in 2013 2014. For newer devices can be used from the SandCastle project.
To unlock the bootloader and bypassing the verification of firmware (jailbreak), the vulnerability of Checkm8 is involved. In the current form, the development is still at the initial stage, which maintains the loading of the kernel, graphic acceleration, network functions and sound are operating,
But until the USB and Bluetooth work. The next purpose of the project is to ensure the loading of a user environment based on the Postmarketos distribution, built on the ALPine Linux package base, standard MUSL SILL-BIBLIOK and the BusyBox dampness.
