Run the unmodified iOS kernel image on the VIM3 development board

Run the unmodified iOS kernel image on the VIM3 development board I have seen articles on the Internet that have used QEMU to successfully run the IOS kernel and successfully mount the root file system. In theory, it can…

In plain words

This project enables running Apple's unmodified iOS kernel on the VIM3 development board. It is designed for developers and hobbyists interested in experimenting with iOS kernel behavior outside its native hardware environment. The work stands out by achieving kernel compatibility without requiring modifications to Apple's original code, offering a unique exploration of iOS internals on alternative hardware.

No idea how you’d load this to the VIM3 or if that’s possible even, but at least the interface is documented so perhaps you can emulatefrom forum.khadas.com

  • Lume – OS lightweight CLI for MacOS and Linux VMs on Apple Silicon2025 · github.com · ▲309

    We just open-sourced Lume - a tool we built after hitting walls with existing virtualization options on Apple Silicon. No GUI, no complex stacks - just a single binary that lets you spin up macOS or Linux VMs via CLI or API. Why we built Lume: - Run native macOS VMs in 1 command, using Apple Virtualization.Framework: `lume run macos-sequoia-vanilla:latest` - Prebuilt images on https://ghcr.io/trycua (macOS, Ubuntu on ARM) - API server to manage VMs programmatically `POST /lume/vms` - A python SDK on github.com/trycua/pylume Run prebuilt macOS images in just…

  • Run TRELLIS.2 Image-to-3D generation natively on Apple SiliconApr 2026 · github.com · ▲202

    I ported Microsoft's TRELLIS.2 (4B parameter image-to-3D model) to run on Apple Silicon via PyTorch MPS. The original requires CUDA with flash_attn, nvdiffrast, and custom sparse convolution kernels: none of which work on Mac. I replaced the CUDA-specific ops with pure-PyTorch alternatives: a gather-scatter sparse 3D convolution, SDPA attention for sparse transformers, and a Python-based mesh extraction replacing CUDA hashmap operations. Total changes are a few hundred lines across 9 files. Generates ~400K vertex meshes from single photos in about 3.5 minutes on M4 Pro (24GB). Not as fast as…

  • A basketball hoop to maximize shots that go in [video]▲971

    https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
