🔵 means implementation is integrated in the pinned source; 🟢 means a cited hardware report for a named board and build. Neither marker automatically qualifies every feature on every sibling board. Open PR results remain development work; merged rows identify the destination and actual source integration. The product matrices above contain exact board exceptions, branch states and source links.

Current development changes · October 16, 2026

• A18 / Neo: J700 now has suspend-to-idle with RTC, keyboard and trackpad wake (linux #222, linux #235), a rear-port external display up to 1920×1080 at 180 Hz (linux #293, linux #313), a 1080p30 camera across sleep, high-quality microphone capture, and Touch ID matches after resume (linux #303, linux #325). The G17 driver is in aurora-wip; Mesa ray tracing, mesh shaders and sparse resources are on branch agx3b only. Speaker playback, standby power and a completed public install remain unqualified.
• M1 / M2: J274, J316S and J413 have new named-board reports: J274 DCP audio and monitor recovery on open PRs, and J316S/J413 maintainer boots plus merged linux #327 Type-C. J414C has a Touch ID report on an omacom release (#106), and J416S has a USB4 DisplayPort report on a non-Aurora tree (#269). A direct merge put the ANE driver in asahi.config, more Touch ID board nodes and T600x/T602x PCIe-C cold init into aurora-wip. linux #328 merged into aurora-wip-rebase, not aurora-wip.
• M3: U-Boot aurora-wip gained upstream M3 Pro/Max SoC support. J613 has an m1n1 stage 1 boot report in open m1n1 #31 on a downstream kernel. A J516S GPU desktop is reported on a non-public kernel, so the public M3 GPU gap remains.
• M4: J616S boots Linux from RAM on one CPU (open linux #231), and the m1n1 proxy now plays headphones and all six speakers (open m1n1 #20). SuperSpeed USB, SMP, an enabled DTS and Linux peripherals remain unqualified.
• M5: J813 has no new hardware result; stable m1n1 main now carries its bootloader work and U-Boot still leaves its MTP cold. A T6050 (M5 Pro/Max) guest series under the Aura monitor (linux #238, linux #241–linux #257) is open and build-tested only; it names no board.
• M6: J873G has no new hardware result; its m1n1 work is now in stable m1n1 main, and linux #194 is in aurora-wip.

Note

M5 identity mapping: The Apple Wiki currently lists T6050 for M5 Pro, M5 Max and M5 Ultra. This directory retains those marketing variants on each board. The shared catalogue ID is not evidence of identical dies, firmware, drivers or support.

How to read this tracker

Marker	Meaning
🟢 Reported on hardware	A linked public report identifies this board and the tested feature. Its stated limits still apply.
🔵 Published code	A source change is public; this alone does not prove hardware operation.
🟠 Partial	Integration, qualification, or functionality remains incomplete.
⚪ No qualifying evidence	The audit did not establish this board or feature. This does not mean unsupported.
🔴 Known gap	A linked public report identifies a missing or failing capability.

Implementation, a successful build, a hardware test, and a usable complete system are separate milestones. Results on a sibling board do not automatically apply here. Open PRs are development work, not merged-release support.

Reports and maintenance

• Report in the product thread. Include the exact board ID, SoC / chip variant, screen or port configuration, software revisions and a repeatable public artifact.
• Keep configuration differences in the same thread. Screen size alone does not need a new discussion. Put any differing result beside its tested board ID.
• Admin editing: repository administrators and organization owners can edit this directory and every hardware thread through ⋯ → Edit. Community members can reply with evidence.
• Shared silicon work: use the soc:Txxxx labels to find affected product threads and cross-link the evidence.
• Snapshots are dated. Open and draft PRs are development work. A merged change is not automatic release or whole-system qualification.
• Old links remain usable. The former per-board and SoC-index discussions are closed redirects to the consolidated threads; their original posts remain available in a folded archive.
