Running x86_64 Assembly on Apple Silicon Machines

By Omar Hboubati

Introduction

This is a tutorial for running x86_64 on a Mac with Apple Silicon. These instructions work for me on a MacBook Pro M1 with Visual Studio Code, but there's no guarantee they will work on every machine. What we're doing is converting a .asm file to an x86_64 machine code file on our machine using nasm and x86_64-elf-gcc. Then, we copy that file to a Docker Ubuntu container, where we run the file.

If your running a x64 bit Ubuntu or other Linux and find USB transfers hang at the end apply this fix:

echo $((16*1024*1024)) > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes
echo $((48*1024*1024)) > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes

I suggest you edit your /etc/rc.local file to make this change persistant across reboots.

sudo nano /etc/rc.local
