NOTE: Version 0.3 and above will not boot iDroid 2.6.32 series kernels without additional parameters being passed to the kernel.

Warning
---------------------------------------------------
IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED THAT YOU DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN NAND WRITE FUNCTIONS IN THE A4 VERSION AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

DOING SO WILL INEVITABLY CAUSE YOU TO NEED TO RESTORE YOUR DEVICE, MAY LEAVE PERMANENT NAND BLOCK DAMAGE AND MAY ALSO CAUSE GREMLINS TO CRAWL OUT OF YOUR ARSE.

(If you read this warning properly, really unless you know wtf you are looking at - leave it alone until we stablise it)

Compiling
---------------------------------------------------
To run openiboot from recovery mode (a.k.a iboot), you’ll need to create an img3 image.
To run openiboot from DFU mode, you'll need to create a bin.

You will need a system capable of running x86 Linux binaries (Build requires scons, libssl, libpng, libcurl, libusb, libreadline and pthread).

Menu Configuration
---------------------------------------------------
As of version 0.3 OpeniBoot now has a grub-style configurable menu system, OpeniBoot looks for /boot/menu.lst at boot.
Below is an example menu.lst - put it in /boot (This section will be expanded upon at a later date, when newer device ports are further ahead)

title iOS
	auto

title Android
	kernel "(hd0,1)/idroid/zImage" "console=tty root=/dev/ram0 init=/init rw"
	initrd "(hd0,1)/idroid/android.img.gz"

title iX
	kernel "(hd0,1)/iX/zImage" "console=tty root=/dev/ram0 init=/init rw"
	initrd "(hd0,1)/iX/initrd.img.gz"

Reporting issues/requesting features
--------------------------------------------------
