Understanding my panic report

I am seeing a restart, i.e. coming back to the Mac having rebooted itself, every few days. This is the entire report -

Is there any way to look at this to understand what, exactly, caused this crash/reboot?

Answer 1

Yes. There is extensive documentation and even support for a second Mac to read and debug the situations that cause these panic logs to be written.

• https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_silicon/debugging_a_custom_kernel_extension
• https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2063/_index.html

You can go as technical as you wish in analyzing these or stick to the general tips to triage them.
