Running Chipyard on MacBook M1

[Yahya Hefnawi]

Hello, 

I have been struggling to run Chipyard on the MacBook M1 chip as it gives me a platform error, and on the other hand when I emulated the x86 on Mac it was too too slow, any one that has a convenient solution for MacBooks with apple silicon?

What platform error are you seeing?

The lockfile only contains solutions for the following platforms: linux-64. In order to add support for linux-aarch64, you must regenerate the lockfile. Either add the following section to your environment.yml:

platforms:

- linux-aarch64

- linux-64

or add the following arguments to the conda-lock command:

--platform=linux-aarch64 --platform=linux-64

Yeah, it looks like we don't have out-of-the-box conda support for aarch64.
You can try to bring up the conda-environment for aarch64, but I suspect this path is not painless.

The supported options currently are either Linux, or Windows with WSL.

Okay thanks alot, but what you suggest, should I try to use a complete different laptop or is it possible to set some virtual machine or something. 

Kind regards,

Any linux-x86 or Windows-x86 environment should work, whether that is a personal laptop, desktop, shared workstation, or cloud instance.
