HelloSilicon
HelloSilicon ist ein Programmierleitfaden und Tutorial zum Schreiben und Debuggen von Low-Level-64-Bit-Assembly-Code speziell für Apple Silicon-Prozessoren. Es dient als Architekturreferenz für die Interaktion mit macOS- und iOS-Kernel-Diensten unter Verwendung von Systemaufrufen und Hardware-Registern.
Das Projekt bietet spezialisierte Anleitungen zum Foreign-Function-Interfacing, um Assembly mit Hochsprachen wie C oder Python zu verbinden. Es enthält zudem ein Toolkit zur Konfiguration von Mach-O-Binaries sowie zum Kompilieren universeller Binaries und dynamischer Bibliotheken für hardwareübergreifende Kompatibilität.
Das Material deckt Low-Level-Systemprogrammierung ab, einschließlich Speicheradressierung, Aufrufkonventionen und der Verwendung von Debuggern zur Inspektion von Registern und Speicher.
