Perform DFU Restores on Apple Silicon Macs with Macvdmtool (2021)

Beautiful tool, much better than having to press multiple buttons with some specific timed order and hold your tongue at the right angle like you're summoning some Apple genie

Sidenote, on bkurtz.io, tapping the burger menu opens 4 choices, one of which is light/dark look. Both looks are typical, the site is black/white (more or less). With dark the background to the 4 choices is black, with white letters. But on light, the background blurs with white letters. The light looks is hard to see, blurred isnt blurred enough, and font is small/skinny. Is that what everyone else sees?

Nope, not always: https://support.apple.com/en-us/120694

Intel macs do not seem to support this tool as a host.

That's because they're close to a standard PC architecture with UEFI, while Apple Silicon is basically an iPhone/iPad.

As a host seems to refer to the machine that executes the tool not the machine that is being DFU'd.

Intel Macs with T2 actually do have a DFU process as the primary processor is in fact T2, which loads UEFI image in RAM once it validates boot situation and resets the Intel chip.
