I think as far as Termux is concerned, the kind of hardwareor OS it is
running on is maybe not the first thing to understand.
Basically, Termux is both a terminal emulator and a package manager that
aims at giving you a Linux epxerience on a smartphone.
So basically, at least for what I understand, the big thing is to write
a Termux screen driver. Well on Android, it seems the regular Android
screen driver already works to some extent, at least it did, except that
it was not able to figure out where the cursor was. And this is were
some cooperation from Termux would be needed and according to the issue
I referred to, and on which you yourself commented, Dave, it seemed lie
a non-trivial job.
Then of course, if one wants to access TErmux withBRLTTY on iOS, there
is the question of whether it is possible to build andinstall brltty on
iOS. Here I have absolutely no clue. But for sure, being able to run
BRLTTY and Termux on an iPhone would kind of offer the best of both
words in terms of accessibility, sinceiOS is so much more visually
impaired user friendly than Android.
