> For the initial kernel DCP support, we expect to require the firmware released with macOS 12 “Monterey” (which is currently in public beta); perhaps 12.0 or a newer point release, depending on the timing. We will add new supported firmware versions as we find it necessary to take advantage of bugfixes and to support new hardware.
Please don't do this! Monterey is an OS I will never install given that it will include the Apple-provided spyware. This shouldn't be the earliest supported version! I suggest instead finalizing on a current/later release of Mac OS 11 as updates for it will slow down once Monterey is released. A lot of people won't be updating to Monterey.
- marcan_42 5y agoYou need Monterey firmware only. You can just do a side install once (to update your system firmware, which needs to be at least as new as the newest OS bundle) into another volume, nuke it, then install Asahi with the Monterey firmware bundle option, and keep your main macOS install at whatever version you want.
