How to extend the iMac Pro to X99 [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

[jds1]

i updated to hight sierra like this with some little issues but it worked. to me the most importent thing is the post install procedure to get the usb ports recoginzed and a working bluetooth; working audio would be a nice candy on top.

"post" install? im just trying to get to the disk install section for starters. it hangs on osxaptiofix etc (tried all the combos)

SSDT with sleep susses.

Finally worked everything with one SSDT.
Enjoy.
SSDT-X99-All_Sleep.aml
I just add this code to SSDT-X99-All_Sleep.aml
GLAN,USB,HDEF,GFX1,XHC1

       Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)  // _PRW: Power Resources for Wake
        {
            0x6D,
            Zero
        })
    }

Great guide, makes everything so easy.

What works OOB.
Sleep, DP Audio, Wifi/Bluetooth, Handoff, iCloud, iMessage.

Issues:
I cannot get the USB write speeds to work correctly. Read 120 – 130Mbs Write 7-15Mbs
Also Photos app halts the entire system once it builds its library.


Sleep gives me poor performance on Geekbench.
Before Sleep: 21k multicore
After Sleep: 9k

Any hints what i should be looking into?

The Geekbench issues was solved with New Ram from the supported list.

New EFI

Efi Attached.

However I had to update to 10.13.2 (beta) as Creative cloud Library was halting my system as well.
With that now Photos App and Adobe CC Library are working, but lost sleep function and gained increased GPU fan speed.

Hi nmano,

Amazing and thanks so much

Just for fun, I've used your "SSD-X99-All_Sleep.aml" and for the 1st time ever on any of my hackintosh builds, I was able to fully make system goto to deep sleep and then fully back (with PMDrv.kext for EIST & Corsair PSU link + water cooled H110i GTX USBs active) by pressing the power button, even awakening my Apple Mouse(A1296)+Keyboard(A1314)+trackpad(A1339) bluetooth devices!!!!!

Now the drawback: I've lost my HDMI sound to my Panasonic 4k HDR tv and all my System Information PCI devices that were showing up there, so, I wonder if you (or anyone on this thread) can have a look at my configuration and update it so that I can have all the PCI devices showing in my System Info, plus HDMI sound while maintaining this amazing sleep feature ?

I've tried a couple of times to edit your "SSD-X99-All_Sleep.aml" files with my SSDT files (EFI->CLOVER->ACPI->patched) by looking through IORegistryExplorer info, but always ended up worst than started!!

My current "System Information", PCI section:


DPCI Manager Devices detected:


Finally, I've uploaded my EFI folder and the IORegistryExplorer .ioreg file.
