Nope. iOS expects to see certain hardware (CPU, periphery chips, & how they're integrated etc.) and certain firmware (ROMs) in order to boot.

"Generic" tablets can even have different CPU architectures entirely! Right now iOS is all ARM based (but this, technically, could change).

The short answer would be “no”.
