Apple Silicon (Asahi Linux) Setup

Apple Silicon Macs require non-distributable firmware files for Wi-Fi and other peripherals. These are stored in a private git repository and referenced as a flake input.

Initial firmware setup (on the Asahi Linux machine)

1. Create a private git repository (e.g., github.com/zeronone/asahi-firmware)

2. Push firmware to the repository:

   ./scripts/push-asahi-firmware.sh --dir m1pro

   Use a different --dir for each machine type (e.g., m1pro, m2max, m3).

3. Update the flake lock file:

   nix flake lock --update-input asahi-firmware

4. Proceed with normal installation:

   ./bootstrap.sh

Updating firmware

If firmware is updated (e.g., after macOS update), re-run:

./scripts/push-asahi-firmware.sh --dir m1pro
nix flake lock --update-input asahi-firmware
