Research

Notes on how Apple's hardware actually behaves, and what a Windows implementation has to do about it. These pages record findings rather than instructions — the working detail lives in the repositories.

Areas

HAL Extension

The Apple Interrupt Controller across its generations, and the Windows HAL extension work around it.

GPU

Graphics work on Apple's AGX, including a Direct3D 12 driver written directly against the hardware.

Networking

The wireless hardware, which changes vendor at the M5 generation.

Security

Apple's boot policy and secure hardware, and what Windows expects of them.

Most of these are not written up yet; each page says so where that is the case.

Research findings stay within Aurora Silicon spaces and are not sent upstream — see Policies & Guidelines.
