1st gen Apple TV and T2/Linux
The first-generation Apple TV, released in 2007, was a digital media player and set-top box designed to stream content from iTunes to a television. It featured a silver and white design, with a 40GB or 160GB hard drive,
The Apple TV Ultra Low Voltage Pentium M based on the Dothan core, running at 1GHz with 2MB L2 cache, 256 MB DDR2 RAM @ 400 MHz, and a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 with 64 MB VRAM.
Notes and quirks
It uses a custom EFI implementation which only boots Apple's official boot.efi either from an internal HDD or from a USB stick. However boot.efi then loads and executes a statically linked Mach-O mach_kernel executable file that is not signed or verified.
Both boot.efi and mach_kernel files must be on an HFS+ or FAT32 partition. On a USB stick, the partition must also have the Apple TV Recovery partition type (gdisk: af04; parted: atvrecv). Additional a "dummy" kernel extension must be present at /System/Library/Extensions/KernelMemoryAccess.kext for the Apple TV to boot.
