S5L8900
The Samsung S5L8900 is a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) manufactured by Samsung for Apple . It combines an ARM CPU with a PowerVR graphics processor and also takes on the functions of a conventional PC chipset.
The S5L8920 was introduced along with the iPhone on January 9, 2007. In addition to the iPhone , the iPhone 3G and the 1st generation iPod touch also use this SoC.
Other names for the S5L8900 are ARM 8900B and APL0098 . It belongs to the S5L SoCs .
The successor was the S5L8720 .
description
The S5L8900 contains a 32-bit - ARMv6 compatible, ARM-S 1176JZF main processor and is in the 90-nm - CMOS prepared method. The standard core clock of the ARM11 processor is normally 666.6 MHz, but Apple has reduced it to around 412 MHz, the bus frequency is around 103 MHz. The size of the level 1 cache is 16384 bytes each for data and instruction cache. The memory has a size of 116 MB. As a SoC , the S5L8900 also has an integrated GPU , a PowerVR MBX LITE clocked at 60 MHz . The S5L8900 thus supports OpenGL 1.1. NOR Flash is used to initiate the processor start .
Competing architectures of similar products are Qualcomm's Snapdragon , Texas Instruments ' OMAP 4 , Nvidia's Tegra 2, and Samsung Exynos .
Design flaw
Due to a design error, the so-called limera1n exploit can be used to execute arbitrary code, which was mainly used by jailbreaks . This error , which cannot be patched by software updates, also allows the iPhone's code lock to be read out within a few minutes without great effort by running a bruteforce program. This bug was fixed with the Apple A5 chip.
