Xcode 8.3 simulator cause panic

[hzy]

I installed Sierra on Intel NUC6i5SYH. I use xcode to do some development work. It has been working fine until I updated xcode to version 8.3. With xcode 8.3 every time I ran something in simulator, OS X will reboot during simulator initialization phase. There is no panic message displayed after reboot. I can't find any panic log message either.
I tried to download old version simulator in xcode 8.3, the crash still happens with older version simulator. I guess even older version simulator is loading some library from xcode 8.3 which causes panic. If I removed xcode 8.3 and reinstall 8.2, simulator works fine. However I've upgraded my development devices to latest iOS which is only supported by xcode 8.3.

Any help is appreciated!

@hzy, please update your profile (personal details) with your build (Motherboard or Model, CPU and Graphics Card).

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Updated my profile, thanks.

I am having the same problem @hzy. Updated to Xcode 8.3 for iOS development and now running the iPhone simulator causes my hackintosh to crash and reboot.

I wonder if this is related to what @znithy was saying here about how "CUDA toolkit fails to support the new xcode 8.3."

Maybe we'll have to wait till the CUDA toolkit supports Xcode 8.3.

I have similar problem on NUC6i5SYH.

I downloaded 4 versions of Xcode (8.2.1, 8.3. 8.3.3 and 9), and only 8.2.1 works, all others cause a reboot and sometimes screen freeze.
What is strange is that 8.3.3 worked until I did upgrade to 9. So, I reformatted the HDD, reinstalled but 8.3 is not working anymore.

Any suggestions? How can I debug this error? Or to identify which component is at fault? (On the other system which has 530 graphics I don't have this problem)

Thanks.

I finally found a solution:
Here I found that the platform-id for Iris Graphics 540 (for NUC6i5SYH) should be 0x19260000.

[ 1] 0x191e0000 - Intel® HD Graphics 515..........(ULX GT2)
[ 2] 0x19160000 - Intel® HD Graphics 520..........(ULT GT2)
[ 3] 0x19260000 - Intel® Iris™ Graphics 540.......(ULT GT3)
[ 4] 0x191b0000 - Intel® HD Graphics 530..........(Halo GT2)
[ 5] 0x193b0000 - Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics 580...(Halo GT4)
[ 6] 0x19120000 - Intel® HD Graphics 530..........(Desktop GT2)
[ 7] 0x19020001 - Intel® HD Graphics 510..........(Desktop GT1)
[ 8] 0x19170001 - Skylake Desktop.................(GT1.5)

[13] 0x191e0003 - Intel® HD Graphics 515..........(ULX GT2)
[14] 0x19260004 - Intel® Iris™ Graphics 540.......(ULT GT3)

[16] 0x193b0006 - Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics 580...(Halo GT4)

I changed the platform id and now the Simulator works fine and Chrome now starts without having to disable the GPU acceleration (--disable-gpu)
