These links have code and documentation, references for writing a driver for T2 chip:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/IntelMacMini
https://ironpeak.be/blog/crouching-t2-hidden-danger/
T2 Chip Programmer Tool PDF:
Personally, I am quite annoyed by these types of posts at this point. The first link has a link which does have code but not documentation.
Other than that the inner workings are irrelevant to writing a driver to communicate with it.
Such random assortments of links are even less usefull than an AI overview.
This is a forum and not a wiki, if i want some bundle of links without comment I am much better helped by my local search engine.

If it were something easy to find and well documented, where all the information would be centralized on the Apple website, but that doesn’t exist, you have to find a lot of stuff spread out on different websites.
Maybe you can create better documentation or code and centralize everything.

But you can do that in 30 seconds using a search engine. Copying the search engine results to a forum post isn’t helpful, most people here know how to use a search engine. I agree with nephele, your posts doing this are not helpful

So if it is so easy to find things on the internet or on a forum in 30 seconds, people should stop posting any links and start looking for themselves.
It seems that there are no different search engines, everyone always finds the same results, there is no advanced search.
All information is now centralized in a single place, no one needs to study art, history, mathematics, read books, programming, now everything can be found in 30 seconds.
There is no magic recipe, if there was good documentation about T2 chips on Apple’s website, everything would be there, no one would need to reverse engineer, there would be no links and posts on different websites trying to explain how the chip works or how it is programmed.
Yes, exactly. All relevant information for the T2 chip (in the context of Haiku) I already knew before you posted your bundle of links, and they did not help at all.
If you want to improve documentation for stuff you can contribute to the actual documentation, write a blog, write a wiki etc. But this link dumping has to stop.
Where did you get those links from? If it is some file on your computer you wish to share then again, make a blog or wiki. If it was a search engine, well you didn’t save any work. Just made it way more annoying to read the forum.
If someone asks for help, or this is in some kind of actual context where you contribute stuff to the discussion in a forum sense you can revisit adding a relevant link to your post.
Keep in mind this is a forum primarily for discussions. If in doubt check the FAQ
Try to keep in line of the spirit of that document when posting here. : )

I understand the context, you and @PulkoMandy don’t want links without someone asking, ok!
Don’t you thik you are exagerating a bit? You have done this type of message where you just post some links without any context or explanation. If you did some research, surely you can write something about what you found, and not just “here is a link I found on a search engine”. Then your posts will be useful and interesting
My post was after Nephele’s post talking about writing a driver for the T2 chip, I put a description before the links, so it’s something random without context.
