sigilOS now ships a complete Apple Silicon HAL targeting M1–M4: 11 components covering the AIC interrupt controller, iBoot/m1n1 boot handoff, UART, 16KiB-granule page tables, PMGR power gating, GPIO, DART per-device IOMMU, I2C, PCIe RC, SPI, and ANS2 NVMe bridge. A parallel PowerPC HAL covers G3/G4/G5. All QEMU PASS. (c0b97be, 0049369, 2adeba4, 705cd17)
Apple Silicon HAL (M1–M4) — 11 components
| File | Component | Notes |
|---|---|---|
apple_aic.sg | AIC interrupt controller | 64-IRQ model, enable/poll/eoi |
apple_boot.sg | iBoot/m1n1 handoff | BootArgs struct: physBase/FB/DT |
apple_uart.sg | S3C/S5L debug UART | 256B loopback, putc/getc |
apple_mmu.sg | 16KiB-granule page tables | T0SZ=25, L1×8 + L2×2048 |
apple_pmgr.sg | T8103 PMGR power-state gating | boot_init: AIC+DMA+UART0 |
apple_gpio.sg | 212-pin GPIO | output-enable/data/pull/IRQ edge |
apple_dart.sg | Per-device IOMMU | bypass+translate, SID mapping |
apple_i2c.sg | 9-instance I2C | 100 kHz model, SMC/PMU/display path |
apple_pcie.sg | T8103 3-lane PCIe RC | ECAM model, lane_up/link_up/scan |
apple_spi.sg | 5-instance SPI | kbd/Touch ID/NOR/Touch Bar, full-duplex loopback |
apple_nvme.sg | ANS2 NVMe bridge | admin SQ/CQ (16 entries), Identify ctrl |
The MMU uses 16KiB granules (Apple's native page size) with T0SZ=25: L1 holds 8 entries covering the 39-bit VA space; L2 holds 2048 entries per L1 block. The DART provides per-device IOMMU isolation — each peripheral gets a unique SID and an independent address space; bypass mode is available for trusted boot devices.
The SPI controller covers all five Apple SPI instances: keyboard matrix, Touch ID sensor, NOR flash, Touch Bar, and a spare. Full-duplex loopback is verified in the harness. The ANS2 NVMe bridge models the admin submission and completion queues at 16 entries each and verifies the Identify Controller admin command round-trip.
Apple DCP Display Co-Processor
apple_dcp.sg models the DCP display co-processor used in M1 Pro and later. It implements the shared-memory ring between the AP and DCP (AP→DCP command ring, DCP→AP reply ring), and the SETUP / TIMINGS / ENABLE boot sequence. Native resolution verified at 2560×1600@60Hz (M1 Pro). (705cd17)
PowerPC HAL (G3/G4/G5) — 6 components
| File | Component | Notes |
|---|---|---|
openpic.sg | OpenPIC/MPIC | 64 sources, IVR/ack/EOI |
ppc_timer.sg | Decrementer + timebase | G4 33MHz / G5 100MHz |
ppc_mmu.sg | HTAB MMU | 256-PTEG model, ppc_map/lookup |
machio.sg | Mac-IO bridge + DBDMA | 8-channel DMA, G3/G4 Heathrow/KeyLargo |
adb.sg | ADB keyboard+mouse | CUDA/PMU event queue model |
openfirmware.sg | OF device tree | Flat model: cpu/timebase/memory/stdout |
The OpenPIC interrupt controller models 64 interrupt sources with the standard IVR/ack/EOI cycle. The HTAB MMU uses a 256-PTEG hash table matching the G4/G5 hardware model. Mac-IO covers both the Heathrow (G3) and KeyLargo (G4) variants with an 8-channel DBDMA engine. OpenFirmware device tree is a flat model that exports cpu, timebase, memory, and stdout nodes — enough to boot a Sigil kernel without real OF firmware. (2adeba4, 705cd17)
HAL contract and the 0.6.0 driver target
The five HAL driver-class seams are: CLS_INPUT, CLS_STORAGE, CLS_NET, CLS_POWER, CLS_BUS. Every peripheral in both HALs maps to one of these five classes. With the Apple Silicon HAL complete, all seams have implementations for M1–M4, and the bring-up path to real M1 hardware is the primary 0.6.0 driver target. The DART IOMMU ensures that each driver class operates in an isolated IOMMU domain — no peripheral can DMA into another's address space.
