Why, though? Why do you want to use a Mac? What rationale is there for diverging from the native architecture you're targeting?
- fulladder 3y agoI just don't want to have two computers, one for FPGA development and one for everything else. It would make my life easier to put everyone on one machine. I appreciate all the comments here and think the performance hit could be too much.
- ayewo 3y agoBefore you give up, give OrbStack a try: https://orbstack.dev/ https://orbstack.dev/ It’s significantly faster than Docker and some users in the Discord community have been able to use it to run hand-built Linux x86 VMs on Apple Silicon. It’s a paid product though, but you can download it for free and try it out before paying.
