macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

[TomHsiung]

1. Description of problem

I followed this guide and replace the SSDT generated from SSDTprgen to SSDT-XCPM, added SSDT-5, set plugin-type to 0, but not sure if the CPU PM is working properly or not, can you please tell me how to determine? According to the IPG result, the utilization is abnormal, how can I fix that? Thank you for your time.

Where did you configure the PluginType in the config.plist file?

Where did you configure the PluginType in the config.plist file?

I did it with xcode, btw I just switched it from 0 to NO, don't know if that matters?

It should be under the directory of EFI/CLOVER/config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType

Right now not successful.

Appears AMD9510Controller.kext/Info.plist was merged into config.plist; replace config.plist.
Restart, reply with new files.

What is patched in the EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml?

set plugin-type to 0

config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/PluginType is in the wrong place and wrong type, remove the property.
Restart, reply with new files.

Not correct.

 

[imxp]

Not correct.

Thanks for reply, according to post #1 as you wrote

PluginType/

• NO (with XCPM ssdt or ssdtPRGen ssdt)
• YES (no PM ssdt)

I thought that I should set plugin type as "NO" if I'm using SSDT-XCPM, what's the correct value for plugintype in my case? Thanks for your time.

Hi, it seems to work for me now! I resetted my config.plist and started with a new one. After that I applied Post#1 on that config. It failed again.

Then I tried a bit around where the "PluginType" has to be placed. It seems that it needs to be directly below "SSDT" and not in the "Generate" Dictionary. Now it works perfectly fine!


Thanks to Toledo for the hint with my broken config plist. Must have been changes I made with my former graphics card (RX480)...

Is it somehow possible to change the screen name for the cpu?

Boolean: NO, included in Generate property or no PluginType property.

It must be in Generate.
