Bugs in gen_debug.sh should be reported to its author.

Bugs in gen_debug.sh should be reported to its author.

It's about the PATH environment variable. I have installed the GNU version of `date`. Removing the GNU version of `date` would work and falling back to the OS original one, would work.

I got it working. Please see attachment.

Your DSDT.aml has no EmbeddedControl, therefore no need for any EC related patches.
Just install ACPIBatteryManager.kext.

Hi, I have attempted several times in installing VoodooI2C for the touchpad, but could not get it working. I am attaching the debug files here. Is there any chance that it is related to USBInjectAll? Thank you.

I have also followed this discussion: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/wip-voodooi2c-i2c-trackpad-limited-support.204227/page-91, removed AppleHPM.kext, AppleIntelLpssI2C.kext, AppleIntelLpssI2CController.kext and refresh the kextcache, but it is still not working.

You are doing a great job, do you plan to publish an installation tutorial when you finish?

Maybe I could do an installation guide after I resolve the ASUS function keys and Audio Jack issues. However, are there any guidelines for publishing an installation guide? I don't know how much time it will take and I do not want to commit to it yet.
