A repository of ARM64 assembly language sample code adapted for Apple Silicon Macs, accompanying the book 'Programming with 64-Bit ARM Assembly Language'. It explains Darwin/macOS-specific differences such as system calls and memory access compared to the book's Linux examples.

Use cases

  • learn ARM64 assembly on Apple Silicon
  • adapt Linux ARM assembly examples to macOS
  • understand Darwin system calls in assembly
  • study M1 assembly programming
  • follow along with a 64-bit ARM assembly book on a Mac

When to choose

  • you have an Apple Silicon Mac and want to learn assembly
  • you're reading the Apress ARM64 assembly book and need macOS-adjusted code
  • you want to understand Mach-O/Darwin assembly conventions

When to avoid

  • you need assembly tutorials for Linux or Windows
  • you want a general-purpose assembler tool rather than educational sample code
  • you don't have access to Apple hardware or Xcode
