Creating Custom SSDT For add in cards

[KevinAGI]

I would like to create a couple of custom SSDT for my Decklink and Areca Raid cards. I' trying to correct a couple of odd ball things I am seeing . For Example the Areca card reports it's hooked up via ethernet, and the slot info is all goofed up on my X99 system. I have corrected my graphics card and it shows up in IO Reg correctly. I can find the sections in the Extracted DSDT but I can not find info on where to start from scratch

Need to use ioreg to see which controller is which of course. But your saying this device connects to Ethernet?

yeah checkout what the AAPL,slot-name is. It's definitely not attached to the ethernet. It is in slot PCIE X16_5 on my Asus Deluxe II motherboard.

Probably not worth trying to get it working. Use onboard or buy a supported Ethernet Card.

I think you missed the point Everything works. This is not my Ethernet card. This is my Areca Raid card. It works perfectly. It just shows up as being attached to an Ethernet port. So maybe this is cosmetic? but one of my other cards that also works does not show up under PCI devices in system profiler at all.

Possibly a Cosmetic problem. Look at SSDT-WIFI as an example. https://github.com/VoiletDragon/Z97-HD3-Patches

Kev, I've seen this issue with a pci usb card and also my graphics cards. I fixed my graphics cards but not my usb card. I think this was because my graphics cards are in my dsdt and the usb cards aren't.

Anyway, i fixed this by using clover configurator.

Under the SMBIOS section add your pci device under the Slots AAPL injections like below, and play around with the ID section. Here you can set it to ethernet, hdmi and others if its not mentioned in your dsdt (I think )

@KevinAGI Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, I have a deckling mini monitor 4k and an LSI 9220 sas adapter and would love to make SSDTs for them, yet I've failed every time I tried. This is of course purely cosmetic, both cards function properly but I'd like to do it anyway. Did you succeed with yours?

Ok, I rushed to post, something I rarely do
Decided to take a new approach and made SSDTs for both cards!

Attached if anyone needs them
