Project Champollion
About this project
Rosetta 2 is an emulation mechanism to run the x86_64 applications on Arm-based Apple Silicon with Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) and Just-In-Time (JIT) binary translation.
The technical details of Rosetta 2 are partially documented, but not rich enough. Project Champollion is a project aimed at revealing the internals of Rosetta 2. Currently, it provides:
- reverse-engineering results of Rosetta 2 (published in the GitHub pages of this repository.)
- analysis configurations for Ghidra for analyzing AOT Mach-O binaries
- parser of
aot_shared_cache
