Welcome to the installation guide, based on Yosemite OS X with Clover bootloader


This install method is intended to reduce to zero System Updates issues. Althought it's been successfully tested with Combo Update 10.10.1, 10.10.2 and 10.10.3, I can't guarantee for the next ones!​
For reference, check previous guides about this machine

WARNING! It tourned out the config.plist files attached before were slightly wrong. Anyone who has downloaded them before February, 10th 2015, please replace the file with the new one attached to this post. My sincere apologies for the inconvenience: my really bad mistake.

Comments

This machine was assembled for HTPC use and audio editing, but I ended up to use it for my daily stuff. No need powerful graphic card, HD 4000 is totally enough to me.
This board is really amazing, it has all the stuff I need, except:
- MiniDisplay Port: it doesn't support 27" Apple Cinema Display (non thunderbolt).
- DVI port: not there!​

Beside that, everything is working fine:
- Full native Ivy Bridge Power Management with custom SSDT
- Auto and manual sleep
- HDMI audio (all video ports)
- WiFi on board (Atheros AR9285, with toleda's kext in EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 - onboard AR3001 Bluetooth partially working, not recommended)
- Both Ethernet ports fully functional (with Mieze's RealtekRTL8111-Binary 1.2.3 in EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 - insanelymac registration required, or use MultiBeast/Drivers/Network/Realtek/RealtekRTL8111 v1.2.x)
- Belkin 2.0 Bluetooth dongle (either in usb 2.0 and 3.0) Working in BIOS and Clover bootloader
- Wake on LAN​



Installation

Tools:

- Latest Zotac bios
- Clover Bootloader installer
- Clover Configurator
- MaciASL Open Beta for editing .aml files. By SJ_UnderWater
- Yosemite install App from AppStore (free if you already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or newer
- A real Mac or an already working Hack
- 8 GB USB Flash Drive​


Step 1 - Update Bios

- I flashed BIOS using Zotac Windows utility with new Zotac BIOS release. Of course I installed Windows 8 to do that. I guess it's possible to flash bios from dos as well, but since I never did that, I can't help about it. Thanks to CodeRush whom worked with Zotac developers, the unlocking process of bios is no longer needed! The latest bios has unlocked MSR 0xE2 module which gives us the opportunity to have native Ivy Bridge Power Management and everything is working as expected on OSX! Here's what I did:
  • Booted the system into Windows
  • downloaded new Zotac bios
  • flashed BIOS following Zotac instructions (put the content of the unzipped folder into a new folder C:BIOS, then run the update command)
  • loaded optimized default and set bios as stated in Step 2


Step 2 - Bios configuration

- Boot pc
- Press Del key to gain bios settings
- Press F9 to load Optimized Defaults
- Leave Main section by default
- X-Settings main window​

115054-bios-1.jpg

- X-Settings/CPU Configuration - Core Ratio Limits as default​

115055-bios-2.jpg

- X-Settings/CPU Configuration - Core Ratio Limits modified ---> see SSDT script in post #4\UPDATE 3 on the original install guide​

115056-bios-2a.jpg

- X-Settings/Gpu Boost: leave default
- X-Settings/Memory Configuration: Load XMP-Profile 1 if supported by your RAM
- Advanced/onBoard Device​

115056-bios-2a.jpg

- Advanced/onBoard Device/Serial Port 0 Configuration​

115058-bios-4.jpg

- Advanced/Storage Configuration​

115059-bios-5.jpg

- Advanced/Cpu Configuration​

115060-bios-6.jpg

- Advanced/USB Configuration​

115061-bios-7.jpg

- Advanced/Display Configuration ----> Note: this config is for HD4000 integrated graphics, for discrete graphics set Primary Display [PEG]​

115062-bios-8.jpg

- PcHealt: leave default
- PowerManage​

115063-bios-9.jpg

- Boot: set this section at your convenience. With Clover choose uEFI Win8, in Boot uEFI OS Selection​

115065-bios-10-clover.jpg

- Press F10 key to Save and Reboot​


Step 3 - Yosemite Installation

- Follow Tonymac's guide then do the following changes:
- STEP 2/17 - Use this install custom options
109468-clover-install-1.png

109469-clover-install-2.png
- STEP 2/20 - Use configUSB.plist (see attachments of this post)
- STEP 2/22,23,24 - Use 10.10 usb folder (see attachments of this post)
- STEP 2/26 - Use dsdt and ssdt if you already have from a previous installation on Zotac Z77 ITX, but my advice would be to start everything fresh. We will generate new dsdt and ssdt.
- Copy the tools into your USB pen drive.
- STEP 3/3,10,12 - Choose UEFI usb option, like this
115094-uefi-usb.jpg
- STEP 4/6 - Copy config.plist attached (NOT THE USB ONE!) to /EFI/EFI/CLOVER
- STEP 4/7,8 - Copy 10.10 folder attached (NOT THE USB ONE!) to /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts​


Step 4 - Post-Installation

- Once OS X Setup is finished, you'll be on desktop (don't worry if you see everything a bit laggy).
- In System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Allow apps downloaded from/ select "Anywhere"
115151-allows-apps.png
- We need to extract, patch and save DSDT.aml.
Thanks to the massive work of PJALM, and forum moderator SJ_UnderWater, now just two patches are necessary to make this board fully functional. Simply follow these steps.
- Download MaciASL from here, unzip it and open it. It automatically will open a "native" DSDT. It's important to know that these patches can be applied just one time, so if you want to re-patch dsdt you'll have to start from a native dsdt again. So my advice is: save a backup copy of this file just in case you need to re-patch it. To do that just go to MaciASL menu bar click on File/Save as, choose the directory where you want to keep your backup native dsdt, select Disassembled ASL file as File Format and name it "native dsdt.dsl" (add extension manually).
- in Menu bar open MaciASL\Preferences and select Sources in Preferences window
- set iASL as ACPI 5.0 as in the following picture
57590-maciasl-1.png
- select Sources icon, click on "+" to add Name and URL of the patches that you need: in my case they are
- Close completely MaciASL and re-open it: again a native DSDT will appear as before, click on Patch command: now in the left side of the Patch window you should see all the patches we've just added like this
58363-zotac-dsdt-patches.png
- select in Zotac Z77-ITX but before applying, remember to delete the Atheros part from the patch itself (in the right window of MaciASL) I mean this part
Code:
# Fix the Atheros AR9285 WiFi and rename it to ARPT
into device label PXSX parent_label RP01 set_label begin ARPT end;
into method label HPME parent_label RP01 code_regex (Notify\s\()PXSX(,\s0x02\)) replace_matched begin %1ARPT%2 end;
into device label ARPT parent_label RP01 replace_content begin
Name (_ADR, Zero)\n
Name (_PRW, Package (0x02) {0x09,0x04})\n
Name (_SUN, One)\n
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
	Store (Package (0x10) {\n
		"AAPL,slot-name", "AirPort",\n
		"name", "Wireless Network Adapter",\n
		"model", Buffer () {"Atheros AR9285 802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter"},\n
		"device_type", Buffer (0x07) {"AirPort"},\n
		"device-id", Unicode ("0"),\n
		"subsystem-id", Buffer (0x04) {0x8F,0x00,0x00,0x00},\n
		"subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer (0x04) {0x6B,0x10,0x00,0x00},\n
		"built-in", Buffer (One) {0x01}\n
	}, Local0)\n
	DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))\n
	Return (Local0)\n
}
end;
That's the Atheros AR9285 WiFi card, which is not natively supported by osx. This patch was working in Mountain Lion 10.8.5, but is no longer working. So we need to apply PJALM AIO Patch without the Atheros part, then use toleda's kext toledaARPT.kext already inserted in 10.10 (see attachments).
- After removing Atheros part from PJALM AIO, click on Apply, then Close. Now click on Compile command: no Errors, Warnings nor Remarks should appear, but some Warnings may stay: they won't affect your installation; the mandatory thing is NOT TO HAVE ERRORS when compiling a DSDT! Go on
- Re-open patch windows and under PJALM Graphics select
  • Generic Discrete Graphics (AMD/nVidia) to enable HDMI Audio if you have a discrete graphic card or
  • Intel HD4000 to enable HDMI Audio if you have ONLY Intel HD 4000 onboard graphic)
- Apply your right patch and check compile: still you should have 0 Errors, X Warnings, X Remarks, XX Optimizations.
- Go to MaciASL menu bar click on File/Save as, choose desktop as directory, select ACPI Machine Language Binary as File Format and name it "dsdt.aml" (add extension manually).
In post #1 of the original Mountain Lion guide you can find the red steps I made to patch dsdt manually (before PJALM All In One patches). I left them in the thread 'cause they're still valuable infos for more than somebody.
- Copy DSDT.aml in EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
- Run caches_rebuild.command (see Attachments)
- Reboot​
- If you don't find any Clover Boot Option in Bios, plug your Clover Uefi Install USB pen drive and boot from it. You should go to "Clover Boot Options". Probably you'll find two of them: choose the one referring to the Sata HD connector, not the USB one. Press the space bar and you'll know which one is the right one.
Select "Add Clover boot options for all entries" and press Enter key. You'll see nothing, but Clover will be present in Uefi boot options in your Bios, then. Choose of course the right one as usual in the bios boot options

Power Management Configuration​

Time to load Ivy Bridge Power Management.

A great thread where I learn a lot of stuff about Power Management (PM) is this, if you want to learn, give it a shot!
AppleGraphicsPowerManagement no longer needs optimization! If you want to learn more about that take a look at here.
Now we need to get CPU PM (generating SSDT.aml).
- Open Application/Utility/Terminal and type
Code:
curl -o ~/ssdtPRGen.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh/master/ssdtPRGen.sh
This will download the latest revision of PikeRAlpha's ssdtPRGen.sh to your user directory.
- The next step is to change the file mode (+x) with
Code:
chmod +x ~/ssdtPRGen.sh
- Now type
Code:
./ssdtPRGen.sh -w 3
if your Ivy Bridge CPU is at stock frequencies, or
Code:
./ssdtPRGen.sh -w 3 -turbo 4100
if your Ivy Bridge CPU is overclocked at, let's say, 4100 MHz.
You'll see something like this
Code:

Mac-mini:~ jack$
- Type
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES; killall Finder
- Press Enter key: hidden files will be now visible. If this command doesn't work, use ShowAllFiles
- In your user folder go to Library/ssdtPRGen and copy SSDT.aml file in EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
- Type
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO; killall Finder
- Press Enter key: hidden files will be back hidden. Or, again, use ShowYourFiles
- Run caches_rebuild.command
- Reboot
- In terminal type
Code:
cat /var/log/system.log | grep "AICPUPMI:"
, this command uses PikeRAlpha's AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo.kext (previously installed in /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10) to check CPU's speed steps, like this
speedsteps.png
That numbers are the speed steps your cpu is achieving. Power Management is working!​



Audio Configuration​

Now we have to take care about Audio.
Until now, each one of us had to patch AppleHDA.kext (if you have dsdt edits) or get HDAEnabler (without edited dsdt), and every system update we had to repatch it.
Now it's time to try a different method. Thanks to the Clover so called "Patch on the fly", and to the great support of Forum Moderator Toleda, here's a simple method to patch Audio that would (hopefully) survive to the System Updates (already tested from 10.10 to 10.10.1).
- Open Terminal and type
Code:
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1
- Open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, go to the menu bar find Debug and flag "Show Every Partition"
- Now in Disk Utility you'll see all the partitions, included EFI (greyed out, cause it's unmounted)
- Mount EFI partition from Disk Utility and close the window
- Download audio_CloverALC-master.zip from toleda's repo, unzip it and leave it in Downloads folder.
- Open Downloads/audio_CloverALC-master and unzip audio_cloverALC-100.command.zip.
- Double click on audio_cloverALC-100-v1.0.2.command, a Terminal window will open, type your password (even if you don't see anything) and press enter
Code:
Last login: Sun Nov 23 15:26:29 on console
Mac-mini:~ jack$ /Users/jack/Downloads/audio_CloverALC-master/audio_cloverALC-100-v1.0.2.command ; exit;

[Processo completato]
- Type three times Y for yes (in black up here) and the process will be completed, the command file will install realtekALC.kext in /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 and will insert some hex codes to /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
- Reboot
- Check Audio Devices (including HDMI Audio devices)​





A few more steps:

- If Auto Sleep doesn't work follow this steps:
- open terminal and type "pmset -g assertions" (no quotes)
- if you see something like that
Code:
Assertion status system-wide:
PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep 0
PreventSystemSleep 0
PreventUserIdleSystemSleep 0
ExternalMedia 0
DisableLowPowerBatteryWarnings 0
UserIsActive 0
ApplePushServiceTask 0
BackgroundTask 1

lmediamounted" 
pid 192(helpd): [0x0000000c00000133] 00:03:06 BackgroundTask named: "com.apple.helpd.sdmbuilding"

you just have to type "launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.helpd.plist".
- type again "pmset -g assertions", and when all numbers are 0 you go on
- Reboot and try Autosleep
- If Safari/Firefox crashes on Flash Player plug-in YouTube videos (mostly with discrete graphic card) follow these steps:
  • Choose a web video that gives you this issue (not all videos do that, I believe just those ones that require Flash Player plug-in)
  • Don't play it, otherwise the system will probably crash (but you already know that, don't you?)
  • Right click on the video and choose settings
  • A window like this will appear
    58866-hw-flash-player.png
  • Simply uncheck Enable Hardware Acceleration (my pic is in italian, I guess you'll find it in your system language)
  • Close and re-open the browser (Safari/Firefox) and check: hopefully that will do the trick.

That's it.
Please feel free to report bugs, error, and anything that could be useful for this guide and Zotac Z77 ITX users! :thumbup:

Giacomoleopardo Build - ZOTAC Z77-ITX WiFi - Core i7-3770T - MacMini 6,2 on Mavericks

One of the most comprehensive build descriptions I've read! Excellent work.

What is more I really like the look of that small case. Less cheesy than some other Mac Mini wannabes.

And all those code mods ... That can be the hardest part. Well done!
