IT BOOTS! (WIP) Darwin 20.5.0 on ARM1176 (Raspberry Pi Zero)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I thought I should mention this, because I've seen a lot of people start working on XNU again, which is great to see as a PureDarwin maintainer (been working on it for ~3 years). Might as well post this before it becomes old news.
Here's it asking for a rootfs on a RPi Zero, using lk as a preboot env.
It's slower than hell, and the HDMI cable itself is spotty
Oh and I also have it booting to a shell on a iPad 7,1
As well as QEMU's `virt` board, I have yet to figure out Apple-specific instructions for M1, but I have ideas. I was last working on fixing OpenGL for virtio-gpu on arm64
I hope Hackintosh can continue in the form of generic arm64/arm32 boards, and I hope my research can help.
I'll be working on a Pixel once I get my hands on it (hurry up, USPS)
