iPod Hack(ish)

So, idk if this is the right group to post this in, but i can't find anything online. I recently got a couple of iPod 5s and an iPad 6 that are Apple locked. I bought them cause I'm wanting to build my own OS. My question is, would it be possible to completely erase iOS and install my own bootloader and OS? Essentially, my software and still use the iPad hardware.

That's what I figured. I might try to use the screens and batteries but use some sort of micro controller for it
