More Apple Silicon M1 Bring-Up On The Way For Linux 5.17

I’m interested in this because Apple is going to say the hardware is no longer supported eventually for MacOS. I’d hate to have a machine that was perfectly capable become a brick because someone said so.

Exactly, because if you're familiar with how the current development process is taking place there's zero testing going on, no approval process to speak of, no specifications are being following, and zero documentation is being produced. Currently, only one individual is responsible for churning out all of this super unstable code and I agree with you --we should all be very suspicious and not listen to him when he stands on his pedestal and unilaterally declares that his code is "good to go". Because that code has a high probability of absolutely destroying and bricking our perfectly capable machines. We should definitely put Linux back on the shelf and only use "approved" products produced by massive corporations who are definitely looking out for us and only have our best interests in mind. There's absolutely no shame in embracing the sheeple mentality, concocting self-serving narratives, engaging in a bit of fearmongering, and remaining in your comfort zone.

I love the work that Hector, Sven, Alyssa and others have accomplished so far on this front. But could somebody please add the device bindings for the SPI interfaces?
**needed for the keyboard + touchpad to work on the Macbook M1 Air + Pro
The corellium project had those bindings defined almost a year ago.

The Corellium code is not good enough for being upstreamable. Hector is currently working on SPI and streaming live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7BQmTtyFNI

I realized that code would not integrate into the current framework. Was just pointing out that Corellium had basic SPI support (albeit a bit hacky). Thanks for sharing, watching that video now!

A nifty project, but no self-respecting Linux user should be buying Apple hardware. I miss the days of hardware vendors wanting to help Linux developers out by providing specs, API's, register maps, etc. simply because they think it's cool. Apple on the other hand, is stonewalling Linux devs, in an effort to prevent the bring-up of a non-Apple OS on the hardware. Vote with your dollars. Don't buy Apple hardware.

We have a great need for a really good ARM desktop for developers to optimize.
