Efforts to build and run XNU (macOS Kernel)/Hackintosh on Raspberry Pi 3

XNU on Raspberry Pi 3 (BCM2837)

I am trying to run XNU/Hackintosh, if possible. You can back me on this project :)

Roadmap

XNU Kernel:

• Compile Mach-O

Then, there are three options. Either:

• [ ] Convert to an ELF Kernel and then raw image
• [ ] Load the raw image

or:

• [x] Convert and load raw image

or,

Then, we can write an Mach-O loader in ELF format, which can be loaded by Raspberry Pi:

• Maybe an Mach-O loader

The kernel can be debugged and further developed:

• Make sure the kernel is bootable
• Make sure UART works
• Try to make a VC4 driver

Hackintosh:

• Try to make an ARM64 macOS sysroot

Build

The following kernel version(s) can be successfully built at the moment:

• XNU 7195.81.3

See the doc for detailed build steps and patches.
