Every line in the boot path is code we wrote. There is zero Apple code between power-on and Linux. The bootloader is ours, top to bottom. To our knowledge, no one has done this on an A13 device before.

This is awesome. I was able to recycle my wheel iPod way back 00s with Linux when an os update failed and bricked my device. Nice to see someone doing this.
