Update: Hey, guys, we’re still moving along. We have a PoC (Proof of Concept) of a PureDarwin 17.6 QEMU image that’s based on Apple’s open source code of macOS 10.13.3 that’s only currently available to devs who join our IRC channel (#puredarwin on Freenode). PureDarwin is currently working on AHCI/NVMe and eMMC family/drivers for Darwin, only they will not support/work on Apple’s macOS. Here’s a guide on building XNU of the 16.7 (10.12.6) kernel! Status We have a GitHub repo, and encourage visitors to use it for both contribution, and for checking out the latest build sources.Īdditionally, as an interim measure, we have a version of PureDarwin Xmas with a fixed boot sector, which is compatible with QEMU. See the changelog for recent updates to the Wiki. Please see the PureDarwin Wiki, it would be very kind if anyone could contribute and fix the wiki as we have links and formatting there that are broken. PD-17.4-Beta Build Here’s a screenshot and a video of our latest build!

More… For the Darwin community! Here’s our Beta build! One current goal of this project is to provide useful bootable media of Darwin 10.x.Īnother goal of this project is to provide additional documentation. PureDarwin is a community project that aims to make Darwin more usable (some people think of it as the informal successor to OpenDarwin). Darwin is the open source operating system from Apple that forms the base for macOS.
