Usage of the OpeniBoot console and its commands is detailed here.

Usage

To run the OpeniBoot console client from Linux or OS X use the following command from ~/OpeniBoot/tools/client after picking the console option on your iDevice. For best results, wait for the WELCOME to OPENIBOOT message displayed on the iDevice's screen before entering the following command: 

sudo ./oibc

Standard Command Set

  • help - List the available commands. This will list either the standard command set or both the standard and extended command sets depending if openiboot has been compiled with ENABLE_EXTRA=YES or not. Usage: 
help
  • install - Installs OpeniBoot onto the device. iBoot is relocated in the NOR and OpeniBoot is flashed to take the place of primary bootloader on the device. Usage: 
install
  • uninstall - Removes all OpeniBoot images from the device and restores iBoot to its usual location as primary bootloader. Usage: 
uninstall
  • multitouch_fw_install - Installs the multitouch firmware to the NOR in an IMG3 container to enable multitouch in OpeniBoot itself. Note: Do not use with ENABLE_EXTRA=YES as this may cause a NOR overflow and failed installation.
Usage (iPhone 2G): 
multitouch_fw_install <a-speed fw> <a-speed fw len> <main fw> <main fw len>
Usage (iPhone 3G/iPod Touch): 
multitouch_fw_install <constructed fw> <constructed fw len>
  • reboot - Reboots the device to the first screen. If OpeniBoot is already installed, it goes to the OS selection screen. If OpeniBoot is not installed, iOS is booted. Usage: 
reboot
  • nor_read - Read a block from NOR into RAM. Read NOR Backup for more information. Usage: 
nor_read <address> <offset> <len>
  • nor_write - Write data from RAM into NOR. Warning: only use this for restoring NOR Backups in the event of catastrophic failure. Usage: 
nor_write <address> <offset> <len>
  • nand_erase - Erase a block from NAND. Warning: This will wipe data from your device and require a DFU restore. This is preferably used if you keep getting FTL errors. Usage: 
nand_erase <bank> <block>
  • poweroff - Turns off the device. Usage: 
poweroff
  • echo - Echoes back a line. Usage: 
echo <text>
  • clear - Clears the screen by wiping the framebuffer. Usage: 
clear
  • text - Turns text display on or off. This basically enables printf or not allowing commands to be extra verbose when running. Usage: 
text <on|off>
  • md - Display a block of memory as 32-bit integers.
  • mw - Write a 32-bit dword into a memory address.
  • mwb - Write a byte into a memory address.

  • cat - Dumps a block of memory.
  • gpio_pinstate - Get the state of a GPIO pin.
  • gpio_out - Set the state of a GPIO pin.
  • dma - Perform a DMA transfer.
  • nand_read - Read a page of NAND into RAM.
  • nand_write - Write a page of NAND.
  • nand_read_spare - Read a page of NAND's spare into RAM.
  • nand_status - Read NAND status.
  • nand_ecc - Hardware ECC a page.
  • vfl_read - Read a page of VFL into RAM.
  • vfl_erase - Erase a block of VFL.
  • ftl_read - Read a page of FTL into RAM.
  • ftl_mapping - Print FTL mapping information.
  • ftl_sync - Commit the current FTL context.
  • bdev_read - Read bytes from a NAND block device.
  • fs_ls - List files and folders.
  • fs_cat - Display a file.
  • fs_extract - Extract a file into memory.
  • fs_add - Store a file from memory.
  • nor_erase - Erase a block of NOR.
  • iic_read - Read a IIC register.
  • iic_write - Write a IIC register.
  • accel - Display accelerometer data.
  • als - Display ambient light sensor data.
  • als_channel - Set channel to get ALS data from.
  • als_en - Enable continuous reporting of ALS data.
  • als_dis - Disable continuous reporting of ALS data.
  • sdio_status - Display sdio registers.
  • sdio_setup - Restart SDIO stuff.
  • wlan_prog_helper - Program wlan fw helper.
