Legacy

Although Inferno comes in an IPSW, flashing it via iTunes causes an error. Inferno is flashed using PurpleRestore.

Interface

All tests are performed via a usbmux interface. During that time the iPhone displays a picture of a fireball. Partial output is displayed at the bottom.

However when display tests are run, different output is produced.

Toolkit

After booting up, SwitchBoard.app screen shows up allowing you to choose different options.

They consist of:

• ATCommand
• BurnIn
• CameraFA
• Operator
• Rumble
• SkankPhone
• Soundwave

Binaries

The firmware includes standard set of UNIX binaries. apt-get is present suggesting that there is an internal APT repository.
