Media Files====== OpenBSD on an AppleTV 1st Gen ====== {{ :intel:appletv1gen.jpg?nolink&400|}} Introduced in 2006, the Apple TV is a mediaplayer for the big screen. Whereas later generations are locked down black boxes, literally, the first generation is an extremely hackable device. It is powered by an Intel Pentium M processor and originally shipped with a customized version of MacOS X Tiger. ===== Hardware ===== The modelnumber for the first generation Apple TV is A1218 and has the following specs: ^ Part ^ Description ^ | CPU | 1 GHz Intel "Crofton" Pentium M | | GPU | Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 with 64 MB of VRAM | | Memory | 256 MB of 400 MHz DDR2 SDRAM | | Storage | 40 or 160 GB internal HDD | | Connectivity | BCM94321MC dual-band 802.11b/g and 802.11 draft-n WiFi | The dimensions are 28 mm (height) x 200 mm (width) x 200 mm (depth). The original unit weighs 1,1 kilograms ===== Mods ===== ==== CrystalHD ==== Broadcom BCM970012 and BCM970015 Crystal HD card boards can be installed in the Apple TVs mini PCIe slot as a replacement for the Broadcom BCM4321 wireless card. These boards enable some software to decode H.264 video content using a dedicated hardware decoder chip instead of software decoding H.264 using the main system CPU. The standard Apple TV will handle software-decoding of SD and standard profile 720p content but the 1GHz CPU chokes on higher profile 720p and all 1080p content unless you spend many (many) hours painstakingly re-encoding videos. ==== Bigger disk ====SavePreviewCancel Edit summary Note: By editing this page you agree to license your content under the following license: CC Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International
