m1n1

m1n1 is the bootloader developed by the Asahi Linux project to bridge the Apple (XNU) boot ecosystem to the Linux boot ecosystem.

What it does:

• Initializes hardware
• Puts up a pretty Nix logo
• Loads embedded (appended) payloads, which can be:
  • Device Trees (FDTs), with automatic selection based on the platform
  • Initramfs images (compressed CPIO archives)
  • Kernel images in Linux ARM64 boot format (optionally compressed)
  • Configuration statements

The default Nix logo can be disabled by setting the customLogo argument to null or can be replaced by setting customLogo to a path to the desired image file which will be resized by ImageMagick to the correct sizes.
