IoT solution based on XNU? - bit outside of Apple&#x27;s gamut but I could see it. iotOS<p>EDIT: Eh, maybe not the copyright is quite old - perhaps more likely some internal test? Run ARM64 XNU tests on Raspberry Pis maybe? They are pretty cheap hardware with lots of ports.

It&#x27;s a pity that Apple let Open Darwin die off, it definitely had a potential as a nice BSD platform.

This file is from 2016, apparently, so Apple has likely been using this for quite some time. It&#x27;s possible that Apple found it convenient to run certain things (guesses: some IoT thing or prototyping a small embedded processor like the one inside the Lightning Digital AV Adapter) on a Raspberry Pi rather than a full-blown A-series core or other chip that is inconvenient due to {price, availability, etc.}.

Not being familiar with the term XNU, I did a little clicking around and hopefully I understand a bit better:<p>This file is evidence that Apple has been running iOS&#x2F;MacOS on the Raspberry Pi 3?

Why would they even remotely touch that <i>horrendous</i> SoC?
