Wade mentioned that they have a tutorial, which was just added to the blog post a bit ago. Users will also need to know their way around Linux and customs kernels to get ports set up. Thanks to the team ❤️🙏 /uBDbDmvJUGĬorellium CTO Chris Wade tweeted that the Linux on M1 proof-of-concept has been tested on the M1 Mac Mini and is "completely usable." Although, he notes that networking requires the use of a USB-C dongle. We will push changes to our GitHub and a tutorial later today.
#LINUX ON A MAC MINI UPDATE#
Update includes support for USB, I2C, DART. Booting from USB a full Ubuntu desktop (rpi). Linux is now completely usable on the Mac mini M1. "Our virtual environment is extremely flexible in terms of models it can accommodate, but on the Linux side, the 64-bit ARM world has largely settled on a well-defined set of building blocks and firmware interfaces - nearly none of which were used on the M1." "When writing Linux drivers, it became very apparent how non-standard Apple SoCs really are," Corellium wrote in a very detailed blog post describing the project.
We will keep all data on an external hard drive, so we do not need huge amount of space for the linux system.
#LINUX ON A MAC MINI INSTALL#
Shut down the Mac you want to install Linux on and attach the USB stick. We will be creating dual boot for OS X and Linux with no special boot loader. Remove the USB Flash Drive from your Mac. The main hurdle to getting Linux running on the M1 is hardware drivers. Click Flash Wait for the iso file to be copied to the USB Flash Drive. The operating system Corellium developed is an Arm-based Ubuntu distro that boots from a USB drive, but it is not as simple as plug-and-play. However, Security researchers at Corellium have a working Linux port for Apple's M1 Macs. While there are Linux distros designed to run on Arm hardware, Apple silicon is a different breed. Although the M1 SoCs are Arm-based processors, and there are Arm versions of Linux available, components on the new Apple chips don't play well with current Linux distos.Īpple has not made dual-booting easy on its newest Arm-based computers. Now that Apple is transitioning to its own silicon, it is no longer so straightforward. In a nutshell: Running Linux on Intel-based Macs is relatively easy.
