Subject: [Ipodlinux-devel] Partial success with g4 ipod

I'm happy to report partial success getting ipodlinux to boot on a g4 ipod.
As has been noted previously, these use a different firmware image format.
Fortunately it looks like the differences are trivial. The format is the same
as previous ipods, just with 512 bytes of padding added to the start of the
image.
I can now load modified firmware, but the memory map seems significantly
different, hence "partial success".
So far I've determined that main memory is at 0x1000000, on-chip ram is at
0x40000000, and the cpu id is stored at 0x60000000.
Below are my changes to make_fw, and primitive attempts to get the bootloader
working. I disabled most of the bootloader code as it just crashes,
presumably because the address of the devices has changed. The bootloader
still doesn't load the apple firmware properly. The menu works ok, but music
doesn't play. I guess this means the coprocessor isn't handled properly.
