Michael,

Thanks a million for this great info! Hopefully one day the Intel SIMD 
optimizations can be ported to ARM NEON, especially since Apple’s NEON 
implementation on the M1 seems to be a bit of a beast.

Much appreciated!

Subject: ***UNCHECKED*** Re: [USRP-users] USRB Hardware Driver with Apple 
Silicon Macs

Hi Erik - Yes UHD and USRPs work with Apple M1 / ARM64. I've used an M1 Mac 
Mini with 10 GbE to connect to various USRPs (N320/1, X310, X410) via an RJ-45 
to SFP+ adapter ... worked nicely with UHD 4.1! UHD does have optimizations for 
certain Intel SIMD; it is not optimized for ARM64, but it should work quite 
well natively (or in Rosetta2 if you wanted to go that route). - MLD

My understanding is that AARCH64 is supported on Linux and MacOS is supported 
in general, but just assuming that any driver source code will just work on a 
new architecture / OS combination is generally not a wise gamble.

I’m thinking that an M1 Mac Mini might be an outstanding platform for SDR work.
Thanks,
