Home-built ‘MacBook Mini’ is a fun project using a Raspberry Pi
Ben Lovejoy
— Oct. 6th 2020 5:43 am PT
@benlovejoy
Michael Pick, whose nickname is The Casual Engineer, has created a home-built “MacBook Mini” that he calls the world’s smallest MacBook…
It’s not a Hackintosh. It’s actually running an OS called iRaspbian, but it does give a pretty convincing impression of macOS at first glance.
The machine runs on a Raspberry Pi 4, and Pick has successfully run Chrome on it.
Tom’s Hardware explains more about iRaspbian.
If you’re looking for a classic Mac experience on the Raspberry Pi, you have to check out this new Raspbian skin from Grayduck and Pi Lab. The release, known as iRaspbian, mimics the look and feel of the Apple Mac OS X operating system.
The iRaspbian image is available for the Raspberry Pi, working great on the Raspberry Pi 4. It has menus, icons, and interfaces that strongly resemble the Apple operating system whose first version debuted in 2001.
Since the new image is essentially Raspbian, you can expect to run many of the same applications as before without issue. All of your Raspbian menus and tools are accessible through the Mac OS X-themed interface. iRaspbian is also supposed to work well for streaming media and supports Steam and even Android mirroring.
For the hardware, Pick goes back in time a little, opting for a MagSafe connector and a glowing Apple logo.
Pick has previously created what he says is the world’s smallest gaming PC, and if you prefer iMacs to MacBooks, he’s created a miniature version of that too — also powered by a Raspberry Pi 4.
One of the more impressive aspects of the build is that he went to the trouble to do cutouts for each key.
Take a look at the video below for a full run-through of the build and the finished result.

Installation on Raspberry Pi
Theremino system applications work on Raspberry Pi models B and B+, under “Mono” and only 256 MB of RAM.
Download them from the «Downloads» pages and follow the instructions below.
Theremino system provides an easy to use and high performance I/O Raspberry Pi system. For example, you can run multiple acquisitions of dozens of analog channels, with hundreds of samples per second.
The Raspberry Pi has ADC inputs, so A/D conversion is usually done via slow coupled I2C bus converters, or with Arduino boards. These ADCs usually have few bits and are too slow and too noisy for most applications.
Theremino Master on Raspberry Pi
Attention: There are important new initiatives for Linux, Android, Raspberry PI and Mac OSX, Read here: https://www.theremino.com/blog/ the-hal#comment-12507
Warning: Some of this information is outdated. Small Windows PC, they are always cheaper, consume less and go beyond five times faster than the Raspberry PI. On Windows PC and Tablet PC, All of our apps run 100% efficient and they work (You don’t need to go through lengthy and complicated setups).
https://www.theremino.com/downloads/notes-on-software#liva
Express Install
Installing Theremino on your Raspberry Pi is a seamless experience. All documentation in English is also available in file:
theremino-raspbian-installation.zip
L ’ Installation must be done from a Raspberry Pi that is connected to the Internet. When ’ installation is complete, you can unplug it and possibly create a backup of your SD card.
Note the fact that Linux distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase letters and that shell (.SH) files must be executable files :
(Right click/properties/permissions/MakeTheFileExecutable)
Theremino system applications lean against Mono framework. Make sure that the names of directories and applications subdirectory of the Theremino system do not have spaces, dashes or special characters. May cause malfunction with Linux and mono.
Under Linux, Theremino application systems they must be in the same folder where the executable program is also the library CustomControls.dll. Download it from https://www.theremino.com/downloads/uncategorized and copy it next to. exe file you want to execute.
Theremino system software supports both mono and WindowsForms. Since these softwares currently have malfunctioning hard-to-grater operating systems, we used the Raspbian operating system soft float Debian «squeeze». When these issues are resolved, We will update with more modern environment operating systems l ’ which use the coprocessor and who therefore have better performance.
Hint: Many operating systems handle /tmp folders as both ramdrive and deleted on every reboot. To avoid wasting space on your SD card, do not delete files or directories as this will simply be moved to the TrashBin folder. Instead, you should move objects that are no longer useful in the /tmp folder
Hint: We will use l’ Midori Internet Browser, whose default download folder is /home/pi.
To avoid wasting space on your SD card, keep and expand the /tmp/SaveAs folder for RightClick compressed files in the same directory. Then Move only the necessary folders inside the target directory.
Hint: To make sure you’re using all of your Raspberry Pi’s RAM, run Start/SystemTools/TaskManager to see how much memory is available. The sum should have a value close to the maximum. A small part is used as VideoRAM.
Hint: To take screenshots, you can install the ‘scrot’ application with the following command in a terminal window:
sudo apt get the scrot installation photos with a delay of 10 seconds since running this command file. Editing an element, You can lengthen the delay time, as well as use other options.
Resources
To enable easy and quick installation, We have prepared some backup copies of SD cards from 8 GB. If you are using a larger capacity SD card, you can increase our backups using the RaspiConfig utility to get more space for your applications.
Backup ‘naked’ Operating system:
2013-05-29-wheezy-armel_Theremino.zip (3 gigabytes)
Backup operating system with mono libraries already installed and LibUsb:
2013-05-29-wheezy -armel_Theremino-ENV.zip (8 GB — This is the recommended backup)
Back up the operating system already installed using developer tools:
2013-05-29-wheezy-armel_Theremino-DEV.zip (8 GB)
Hint: If you want to view or make changes to the low-level system libraries Theremino, written in C++, pay attention to the fact that the Raspberry Pi ARM microprocessor stores bytes in an order different from other processors (Little Endian, Little Endian).
Prepare the SD card
Download the backup of your choice and extract the file. You will get an img file of type .
Take a 4GB or 8GB SD card and insert it into your PC or player in an inexpensive USB adapter.
Download ’ application to format SD card here:
SDFormatter4.0.zip
Then install it. This program, when launched, automatically switches to administrator mode.
Format the card with Volumlava = “Soft Popular Software” , selecting Full format (erase) as well as Formatsizeadjustment = on
download the Win32DISKIMAGER:
Win32DISKIMAGER-0.9.5-BINARY. to a folder and run the executable ‘ with l Right click/Run as administrator .
Select the previously loaded img file and when you press the record keys. You will be prompted to write l ’ unit “Soft float”.
L stop ’ application when you finish writing and then remove the card through the software , using the PC operating system command. Only then remove it from the computer and plug it into the Raspberry Pi turned off .
All ‘startup may appear l ‘GUI that you can end with Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then you can login with:
username: PI
password: Raspberry
If Raspbian automatically launches a Root window to run the fsck command To set up an extended file system, run the following:
fsck /dev/sda2
Then restart with the commands:
sudo -i
shutdown r now
On the next reboot, Raspbian should automatically start RaspiConfig.
If Raspbian goes to a line, Run the utility manually with the commands:
sudo-i
Raspi-config
Using the arrow keys, Select expand_rootfs (Expand the file system node) and press Tab to select
After reboot it may look l ’ GUI that you can end with Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then you can login with:

Since the Raspberry Pi runs at 700 MHz by default and is quite slow, we recommend using the RaspiConfig ModestOverclock utility to at least one running its chip without boost. Select Overclock and select 800MHz, next time the system should be more liquid.
Run the utility manually with the commands:
sudo-i
Raspi-config
To update all software all ’ last level, execute the following commands in sequence: 9Next reboot , you can use l ‘ GUI , can be called from the command line with:

zip
Hint: This file can be opened with Raspbian’s text editor. Now, you can open a terminal window and then copy and paste using the window menu.
All files you need to have Theremino systems running on Raspberry Pi can be downloaded from here. This file also contains bindings for Python:
Theremino_Raspberry-Pi_V1.0.tar.gz
Download this file in the /tmp folder and expand it outside.
Then Move only to the Theremino/ folder on your desktop.
Now you should get the folder /Home/PI/Desktop/Theremino
Completing the installation
To copy these two Theremino libraries to the /usr/bin folder, open a terminal window and enter the following three commands:
sudo-i
bash/ home/pi/Desktop/Theremino/rasp-soft/slot/COPY_TO_USR_LIB.sh
bash/home/pi/Desktop/Theremino/rasp-soft/hid/COPY_TO_USR_LIB.sh
dot!) with the following two commands:
CD/etc/udev/rules. d
CP/home/pi/Desktop/Theremino/rasp-soft/hid/41-theremino.rules .
Close all applications and even the GUI by selecting Start/Exit.
Shut down and restart.
Once the core libraries have been copied, and with the appropriate permissions, into the /usr/lib folder and/etc/udev/rules.d , you can then check that everything is running smoothly.
Testing ’ Theremino environment
Using ’ GUI and file manager, Navigate to folder/home/pi/desktop/theremino/rasp soft/slotview
Set how the executable is unpacked and run it, l ’ Theremino_SlotViewer application should start.
Run the file again to unpack, you should have two active instances.
Changing the value of one of the slots in an instance must also change the value in the ’ other instance.
Emulation with Qemu
We chose to develop software, basically everything ’ inside the Raspberry Pi itself, to increase the portability of the original. To make changes and develop new applications that only use the slots of the Theremino system and do not get access to USB ports, You can use one of our backup emulators.
L ‘ using ‘ the Qemu emulator is described in the documentation file in Russian and this guide was inspired by a wonderful tutorial:

We tried Windows 7, Windows 10 and macOS Big Sur Themes. This is the Windows 7 desktop:
It does a pretty good job of evoking the classic Windows 7 Source and feel. The Start button brings up the familiar system menu. When they are running, the apps appear on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. The color scheme takes you back in time for 10 years.
The icons are in the oven. The Internet Explorer icon opens the Chromium browser, and the Word and Excel icons open the LibreOffice and Calc writer. The Outlook icon opens the Evolution Mail application.
The START button is adorned with the Microsoft-Hued Twister OS Whirlwind logo.
Windows 10’s dark mode does an equally convincing job. The desktop boasts the Twister OS logo instead of the Windows logo, but the look and attention to detail strongly evoke the Windows 10 experience.
Good little touches abound. Entering the Office menu in the system menu uses the Microsoft Office logo but results in LibReOffice applications.
The icons on the taskbar take the form of the current Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook icons.
The Twister Sur theme attempts to replicate the look and feel of the macOS Big Sur operating system, as well as the placement of desktop elements. There is a docking station and a menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
The icons on the dock will look very familiar to Mac users. They open the equivalent Linux desktop applications.
Raspberry Pi is designed for fun
Twister OS is sound based on Debian Linux and the XFCE desktop is a lightweight and robust GUI.
