Hey folks! I've just posted a new progress report and Asahi Linux release over at our blog.
We've been hard at work over the past few months fixing bugs and adding new features. There's a lot that is still in the works, but this release brings us Bluetooth support as well as support for the...

Hey everyone! I know I've been behind on progress reports again... and this is the reason!
There was always "one more thing" to include in the progress reports, but now that we finally have a public release, expect the regular posts to resume (and they might even become more frequent, as no...

2021-10-05 17:43:54 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! Just a couple days ago I posted our August 2021 Progress Report!
There's been a lot going on in the past few months and I realized I set the bar a bit too high with the first ...
2021-08-18 07:10:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
I know I haven't written an update in a while. I was going to talk about the ongoing hypervisor work and how I've been reverse engineering the M1's display controller (and preparing for doing the same with the GPU interface) in a big mega progress update which would also explain ...
2021-06-30 08:28:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! It's been a few busy months and I'm way overdue for another update. There has been a lot of interesting progress lately. I will be covering it in official progress updates, but here is a quick overview of what's going on.

Hello everyone! This has been a long time in the making, and quite a beast to write at over 10000 words. I hope it's been worth the wait!
I heard your feedback on the last post loud and clear; everyone is interested in the project's goals over sponsor perks, and several people mention...
2021-03-11 08:53:36 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! It's been quite busy for the past few weeks; things are moving smoothly towards having baseline M1 support in the official upstream Linux kernel within the next few months, and I expect our first batch of changes to be merged soon!
If you've been following our development work on IR...
2021-02-25 10:50:20 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks! Sorry for being so sparse on the updates here!
I've actually been planning on doing monthly Progress Update posts on asahilinux.org, but as I was thinking of writing the January update lots of interesting things were happening... and before I knew it, we were halfway through Febru...
2021-02-19 16:42:53 +0000 UTC View PostA lot of things have happened over the past week!
As you may know, Apple released macOS 11.2 beta 2 just a few days ago. This version finally includes the kmutil update that we were expecting that allows users to boot their own kernels, which means that software testing and development can ...

Happy new year, everyone! We're finally in 2021, and it's time to formally kick the project off! Thank you so much to everyone who pledged - it really means a lot to me to be able to do this as a job. I hope I can meet everyone's expectations :-)
I'd like to give another shout-out to those ...

2020-12-14 12:34:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I've been pretty busy wrapping up other things on my plate so I can fully concentrate on this project come January. I'm really looking forward to really kicking things off soon, quite likely ahead of time!
As some of you may have seen on Twitter, I have just acquired a Mac Min...
2020-12-09 08:59:22 +0000 UTC View PostI'm not working on proper porting yet, but I can't help but do a bit of recon ahead of time. During reverse engineering and research, you always come across curious tidbits. I'll be posting these on Patreon for patrons at or above the Basic Backer tier. First one's free :-) (don't worry, no serio...

The initial goal is a bare minimum to be able to put enough time into this to make it worthwhile, but I can't call this a full-time ...
2020-12-01 05:13:26 +0000 UTC View PostThank you so much for dropping by! I hope I can get the support to make this project a reality.
I'm currently tying up other work and projects, so I expect to begin work on this port in January, if we reach the $4k goal by then. If we do reach the goal ahead of time, I'll order an M1 Mac Mi...
