(And to some extent a Linux bootloader)
You need an aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc cross-compiler toolchain (or a native one, if running on ARM64).
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/AsahiLinux/m1n1.git
$ cd m1n1
$ makeThe output will be in build/m1n1.macho.
To build on a native arm64 machine, use make ARCH=.
Building on ARM64 macOS is supported with clang and LLVM; you need to use Homebrew to install the required dependencies:
$ brew install llvmAfter that, just type make.
If you have a container runtime installed, like Podman or Docker, you can make use of the compose setup, which contains all build dependencies.
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/AsahiLinux/m1n1.git
$ cd m1n1
$ podman-compose run m1n1 make
$ # or
$ docker-compose run m1n1 makeOur wiki has more information on how to use m1n1.
To install on an OS container based on macOS <12.1, use m1n1.macho:
kmutil configure-boot -c m1n1.macho -v <path to your OS volume>To install on an OS container based on macOS >=12.1, use m1n1.bin:
kmutil configure-boot -c m1n1.bin --raw --entry-point 2048 --lowest-virtual-address 0 -v <path to your OS volume>m1n1 supports running payloads by simple concatenation:
$ cat build/m1n1.macho Image.gz build/dtb/apple-j274.dtb initramfs.cpio.gz > m1n1-payload.macho
$ cat build/m1n1.bin Image.gz build/dtb/apple-j274.dtb initramfs.cpio.gz > m1n1-payload.binSupported payload file formats:
- Kernel images (or compatible). Must be compressed or last payload.
- Devicetree blobs (FDT). May be uncompressed or compressed.
- Initramfs cpio images. Must be compressed.
Supported compression formats:
- gzip
- xz
