ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake.zip

Now you need to :
  1. Unzip ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake.zip
  2. Rename the the unzipped folder ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake to ssdtPRGen
  3. Move the renamed folder to ~/Library/
  4. This can be done in Terminal with these lines:

unzip -qu ~/Downloads/ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake.zip -d ~/Library/
mv ~/Library/ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake ~/Library/ssdtPRGen

Coffee Lake SSDT Generation
Now that it’s properly named you can return to the normal SSDT guide and complete it:

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Type & Enter cd ~/Library/ssdtPRGen into Terminal
  3. Put the first line into terminal if you are using a stock CPU and replace cpu_name placeholder with yours. If the CPU is overclocked in BIOS add the -turbo flag and its overclocked amount in MHz to to the end: Stock speeds: sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p ‘cpu_name’
    BIOS Overclocked: sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p ‘cpu_name’ -turbo XXXX

    Examples:
    sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p 'i3-8100' (An i3-8100 @ stock speeds)
    sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p 'i7-8700k' (An i7-8700k @ stock speeds)
    sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p 'i7-8700k' -turbo 4800 (An i7-8700k @ 4.8GHz overclock)
  4. Type & Enter n to the question: Do you want to open ssdt.dsl (y/n)?
  5. Right-Click Finder App
  6. Select Go to Folder…
  7. Type ~/Library/ssdtPRGen/
  8. Click Go
  9. Open ssdtPRGen folder
  10. Copy ssdt.aml
  11. Mount EFI Partition
  12. Paste ssdt.aml in /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/
  13. Restart Hackintosh
  14. Done.

Hey all, I cant complete step 3, as I keep getting
sudo: ssdtPRGen.sh: command not found

I running the following command,
sudo ssdtPRGen.sh -p ‘i7-8700k’

I tried without sudo and verified the file is .sh file is present along with all other unzipped contents. Any thoughts??
 
I got the script to execute. For some reason, I am not able to execute it from my user/library directory. I just executed from my directory where I downloaded and unzipped.

Anyway, I now see this error

No need for ssdtPRgen.sh with your hardware.
You only need config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType=true.

Read here:

Thanks RehabMan. I did see that in some threads where folks posted their builds and instructions, but I also noticed they listed it as if they did it.

Either way, I managed to get the script going last night (even though I don't need it). For some reason, it seems I had downloaded an older version of the ssdtPRgen.sh zip which didn't include the coffeelake cpu info in the versions file or one of the files.
 
I am interested in creating a new SSDT for the Z370N-WIFI motherboard, namely the modification of the USB ports to fit the (assumed) 15-port limit. I have the port limit change from 15 to 24 in the config.plist "Kext and kext patches" window, so all 24 (actually 26 according to IORegistryExplorer) are enabled. BUT: using MaciASL (RehabMan's version) to attempt choosing my desired ports doesn't work.

Some questions:
1. Is there still a 15-port limit required by Apple for the 300-series boards, i.e. is this strictly an OS requirement independent of hardware?
2. If so, please note that the "locationID" shown in IORegistryExplorer for all the "SSxx" ports state "0x15xxxxxxxx" whereas all the "HSxx" port "locationID"s state "0x14xxxxxxxx/" (See Exhibit A and Exhibit B attached below.) But there is no "XHC@15000000" listing in IORegistryExplorer!! What does this mean?
3. Consequently if MaciASL is used to choose the desired SSxx ports, the resulting SSDT is incorrect. The ports in SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl listed under "8086: a36d" for all the SSxx ports convert in IOCRegistryExplorer into HSxx ports. Is there a fix for this?

I have no idea what to do about this other than just to leave the 24-port limit in my config.plist. If anyone (are you reading this, RehabMan?") can help me, or resolve this question, please let me know!

Thanks for reading.

Off-topic.
This thread is regarding SSDT "for CPU".
(note also that it is completely unnecessary as well... as we can just set config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType=true)

USB is separate topic.
Refer to the guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-creating-a-custom-ssdt-for-usbinjectall-kext.211311/
 
Not working on either clover option for me?

What do you mean by "not working"?

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Nor the Xcmp or the Plugin Type selections allow my mac to recognise overclocking. Am I off topic? if so please explain what SSDT stands for? I really just want my About This Mac to recognise me actual spec. Attached is my problem reporting file

With just over 200 open issues his project appears to be abandoned.

In my own testing there are silly syntax errors that break the script. I suspect this is due to updates to the Intel product specification website. It is unreliable and should not be used. Since this thread is referenced in many others it would be helpful if a moderator could edit the OP to note this
