Apple’s sleep -clade Electric Digital AV Adapter This is actually only one job: the device, which is 59 euros on the manufacturer, allows iPhones and iPads (as well as iPod from the 6th generation) to redirect their screen output to the HDMI display, this is a monitor, a monitor, a Television or a projector. Apart from the video, it also includes audio signal. However, a hobbist has now shown that HDMI Lightning Dongle: A small computer has even more. And now goes on it Finally “Apocalypse”.

Dongle hang on Mac (still)
YouTuber “Nayan devil” This shows how it works in solid words: he managed to do a gelbrack with Lightning Digital AV Adapter. Because as it is revealed, the SOC in which it is included is sufficiently powerful. Among other things, this video serves to compress the signal. The operating system in the dongle is a slimd -down version of iOS. After ignoring safety measures, it was possible for him to run “doomt” on the dongle directly. The frame rate is not as bad.
However, the problem is that SoC has only a small memory. For the “Doom” game, Lightning Digital AD Adapter hence Mac-Via is associated with a lightening USB-C adapter. On the other hand, there is a normal monitor, for which the dongle is also intended. The version is not right yet. “Still do a lot of work, write” Naina Satan “.

Apple darwin with safe boot
There is not much information about how the hack was successful at the moment. “Nayan Satan”, also known as John on John, announced that he was planning a “right up” at a later date. Currently there is only a short video on YouTube. It was already known in 2019 that Dongle is actually a computer. Apple runs a darwin-artnell with a safe boot. On X, “Nayan Satan” was already asked to port to Linux for the dongle.
It is not clear whether it is technically possible or not. Github repo of hardware hackers can be found HereThere he also published other experiments that deal with old apple devices such as iPod Nano. Incidentally, the current iPhones from Generation 15 are no longer needed: They come with USB-C connection and Support USB-C Monitor direct.
