Dev environment on arm macs

The OVMS specific ESP-IDF doesn't seem have support for the arm based macs. Anyone used a more recent version of ESP-IDF or some other workaround? Or do I need to to keep my intel mac?

I've developed the initial module for the Zombieverter VCU used in EV conversions https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/tree/master/vehicle/OVMS.V3/components/vehicle_zombie_vcu and now want to updated.
