Goo Building Mac OS
Darwin is an open-source Unix-like operating system first released by Apple Inc. It is composed of code derived from NeXTSTEP, BSD, Mach, and other free software projects code, as well as developed by Apple. I suggest you use Mac OS 10.5 or higher when trying to build OpenBIOS. Part 1: Installing the cross compiler on Mac OS X 1). Download the AWOS cross compiler: 2) Expand this bz2 file by double clicking on it. 3) Rename the file AWOS-CC to AWOS-CC.img. 4) Open the image file. 5) Open the 'AWOS Cross-Compiler for OS X' file on the newly mounted disk.
Check the Applications folder and see if there is an app named 'Install macOS (OS Name)'. If there is, go to the next step. If not, go to the App Store (online). Do a search for the name of the current Mac OS version, click on the icon or 'VIEW' above the entry for the OS, then on the next screen click on 'GET'. My new Mac is much faster in doing the high quality 3D photo like imaging. And the appearance on the screen seems more clear to my eye. In any case it’s great you offer (and support!) both platforms. The limited market offerings for woodworkers seeking design software on a Mac make SketchList stand out even more!

Items for Getting Started
microSD Card
The Jetson Nano Developer Kit uses a microSD card as a boot device and for main storage. It’s important to have a card that’s fast and large enough for your projects; the minimum recommended is a 32 GB UHS-1 card.
See the instructions below to flash your microSD card with operating system and software.
Micro-USB Power Supply
You’ll need to power the developer kit with a good quality power supply that can deliver 5V⎓2A at the developer kit’s Micro-USB port. Not every power supply promising “5V⎓2A” will actually do this.
As an example of a good power supply, NVIDIA has validated Adafruit’s 5V 2.5A Switching Power Supply with 20AWG MicroUSB Cable (GEO151UB-6025). It was specifically designed to overcome common problems with USB power supplies; see the linked product page for details.
Note
The stated power output capability of a USB power supply can be seen on its label.
Actual power delivery capabilities of USB power supplies do vary. Please see the Jetson Nano Developer Kit User Guide for additional information.
