[Guide] USB power property injection for Sierra (and later)

[RehabMan]

Buddy, It is difficult to understand this guide, can you simplify this for me?
or just tell me what is exactly I wanted to do to get the proper power supply.
I'm having trouble when I connect Pendrives and external HDD together. If any USB is connected my magic mouse becomes very slow and unresponsive also when two Pendrive is connected one will eject and reconnects automatically will this guide can fix these issues?

Can you make guide this guide simple for me?

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Please attach all "Problem Reporting" files and I'll tell you which components you need from this guide.

You forgot to press F4 to collect ACPI/origin, but the ioreg shows no EC.

So... given no EC, and iMac17,1 as SMBIOS, to implement this guide, you need only to add SSDT-EC.aml and SSDT-USBX.aml to ACPI/patched.

That will get you the power properties of iMac17,1.

Now.. your other major problem is that USB port inject is not implemented correctly. Your ioreg shows you are using the port limit patch, which is a mistake (it is only for short term use).

That is off-topic here, as there is a separate guide:

Thanks for your reply. Where can I download SSDT-EC and SSDT-USBX?

Thanks for your reply. Where can I download SSDT-EC and SSDT-USBX?

The code is provided in post #1. You need to use MaciASL to compile them to AML.

Buddy, I just inject USB Port patch and compiled AML please check. I think SSDT of EC and USBX is not configured correctly.

According to your Clover bootlog, the SSDT is not loading:

1:071  0:000  Inserting SSDT-XCPM.aml from EFI\CLOVER\ACPI\patched ... Success

It means it is not likely in ACPI/patched.

Note: I'm not certain you can combine multiple DefinitionBlock in a single file like you have... Worth testing (I'll have to test it too), but if it doesn't work, combine in the more conventional way...

eg.

// Inject Fake EC device and power properties via USBX
DefinitionBlock("", "SSDT", 2, "hack", "EC-USBX", 0)
{
    Device(_SB.EC)
    {
        Name(_HID, "EC000000")
    }
    Device(_SB.USBX)
    {
        Name(_ADR, 0)
        Method (_DSM, 4)
        {
            If (!Arg2) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }
            Return (Package()
            {
                // these values from iMac17,1
                "kUSBSleepPortCurrentLimit", 2100,
                "kUSBSleepPowerSupply", 5100,
                "kUSBWakePortCurrentLimit", 2100,
                "kUSBWakePowerSupply", 5100,
            })
        }
    }
}
//EOF

Inserted all entries and SSDT's please check it.
If the USB Port injection and USB Power property are ok now?
