Each Type-C port with USB4/Thunderbolt support on Apple Silicon SoCs
comes with block called ACIO ("Apple Converged I/O"). It contains a
Cortex-M3 co-processor, the hardware blocks implementing the USB4 host
router, the Native Host Interface (NHI) and a DART IOMMU. The
co-processor exposes the NHI and its DART to the main SoC bus while it
is running.
ACIO can only be powered on after the Type-C PHY has been switched to
USB4/Thunderbolt mode. The Type-C controller provides the cable
information required to boot it through the thunderbolt-switch
connection.
