Hacking PS4 Linux on 4.05

[Darbness]

Good Evening Guys/Girls,

I am happy to share that thanks to the work of @valentinbreiz we can now boot Linux on 4.05.


https://github.com/valentinbreiz/PS4-Linux-Loader

Video of it booting.




How-To Boot.

put these files on root of USB drive.

Go to darbness.com/ps4 on your PS4
(or host your own)

Send PS4-Linux-Loader.bin to your PS4.

Your PS4 will reboot (can take a few minutes) into Linux.


Cheers,

Darbness

I'm so upset about the fact that I'm on 4.55

Nice to see people caring about something that's not "muh piracy!".

How far along is this? Does hardware acceleration work?

I'm building Ubuntu for it now, taking ages tho (only have USB v2 thumb drive).
Will let you know how well it runs once I have it booted.

This is another step in the process..... We have, ftp, now we have Linux.... which will be next? Emulators or backup loaders???

hate to be a pain but can someone do this part for me? Otherwise I am all set:

Apparently I can't load into linux on ps4 without compiling a kexic.bin this is info I have so far:

"You need to compile kexec.bin using this source https://github.com/fail0verflow/ps4-kexec and place it into the root folder of the project before compiling this one."

more info here

https://github.com/valentinbreiz/PS4-Linux-Loader

I use https://github.com/idc/ps4-payload-sdk to compile it. You also need to compile https://github.com/fail0verflow/ps4-kexec and place 'kexec.bin' into this folder. Compile kexec with 'make CFLAG='-DPS4_4_05 -DKASLR -DNO_SYMTAB'.

Can anyone help? I imagine someone just needs to upload a working kexic.bin no? Or are they specific to distribution? I am using ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64. Otherwise followed everything else and nothing happens. Mucho appreciated.

what does Linux do for Ps4 ? What is the purpose ? An emulators ?

If we can install DEs and shit and get a desktop this would be absolute tits. Heck, if consoles let us run Linux natively I wouldn't be so fast to tell them to fuck off. Good shit though.

Huh ? That's not my question.

I mean, I have no idea how far this goes, but if we can get drivers for all parts then we essentially have a PC. Assuming this is kind of like what team0verflow showed last year, you could install Steam and play PC games and use it as a computer. So, anything, really.

Th funny thing about this is that the PS4's operating system is based on FreeBSD!

I Always like the idea on Xmugen but never got around to setting it up..
Personally I'd rather this happen first
