Public source was audited; hardware qualification remains board-specific. Initial T8132 platform descriptions exist for the board IDs listed below. They do not establish broad laptop/desktop support.

Refreshed October 16, 2026. Public PR states, follow-up reports, merge destinations and source were checked. This is an evidence update, not a new physical test. Baseline: linux/aurora-wip@f53454ba0da1; bootloader: m1n1/aurora-wip@f3ac615eb137.

Latest assessment · October 16, 2026

No new named-board result was found for J773G or J773S. The new J616S (M4 Pro MacBook Pro) bring-up evidence is tracked in MacBook Pro · M4; it does not qualify J773S, which shares the T6040 SoC but is a different board.

Configurations

Board	Silicon / SoC	Configuration	Year	Audit result
J773G	M4 · T8132	Mac mini	2024	🔵 Board target / initial platform description; runtime unqualified
J773S	M4 Pro · T6040	Mac mini	2024	⚪ No matching working-tree DTS or named-board runtime result found

Evidence key: 🟢 named hardware report · 🔵 code present in the pinned source · 🟠 partial or unqualified · ⚪ no board-specific evidence found. A merge is an integration event, not a hardware test or release qualification.

Source coverage

Area	Public implementation	Hardware boundary
Board target / CPU / AIC / timer / UART	🔵 J773G: DTS/build targets and T8132 CPU, AICv3, architectural timer and UART descriptions	⚪ No named-board Aurora boot or SMP result found in the reviewed PRs.
PMGR / watchdog / GPIO / I²C	🔵 T8132 controller descriptions; shared UART enabled, I²C instances disabled by default	Descriptions are not device-operation qualification.
Firmware framebuffer	🔵 Loader-filled simple-framebuffer description	Disabled until loader fixup; no visible-display report established here.
NVMe / CPU frequency / USB host	🟠 Not established by these initial board descriptions	No board-qualified storage, CPU-scaling or USB-host result in this audit.
Native GPU / DCP / external display	🟠 No complete matching public stack established	The pinned AGX driver has no T8132/T6040/T6041 match. Firmware framebuffer description is not GPU or Linux DCP support.
Audio / camera / wireless / input / SEP / ANE	⚪ No named-board result found	Do not transfer M1–M3 or J813/J873g results.
Thermal policy / suspend / installer	⚪ No named-board result found	No complete-system or installation qualification.

Pinned source: J773G DTS · t8132.dtsi · t8132-jxxx.dtsi · GPU matches.

The remaining Pro/Max board rows lack matching DTS targets in this snapshot and do not inherit the base-M4 source coverage.
