I want to try experimenting with running low level code my Nexus One phone, but I can’t find a suitable manual describing how.

As far as I know, the VROM does some initial bootstrapping before jumping to the bootloader which would then unpack and load the Linux kernel. What I want to be able to do is to pass a custom image to the VROM and make it jump to my entry point (place an image at a specific address and make the CPU jump to it).

Is it possible? And is there any documentation describing the SoC used by Nexus One?

    Figured it out. It’s impossible.

    Nexus One’s first stage boot-loader has no facilities for bootstrapping custom code. Has to be done with JTAG.
