1. Read the manual first

Take a look into Chapter 1 the mainboard drawing. I'd tested all ports and found the pattern that the USB numbering that
ASUS used for the mainboard you can 1:1 adapt.

HS01: U31G1_12 -> Port 1
^​


HS02: U31G1_12 -> Port 2
^​



HS03: U31G1_34 -> Port 3
^​


HS03: U31G1_34 -> Port 4
^​



HS07: USB7_10 Port 7-10

I also assume:
  • That all USB 3.1 also provides a HSx and a SSx port
  • USB31G2_EC1 is the USB C port
  • That the OSX Port Map Max 15 port limit includes all active ports incl. XHC@14!

Intel® Z370 chipset:
- 6 x USB 3.1 Gen1 ports ( 3 x Type-A and 1 x Type-C ports at back panel, 2 ports at mid-board)

- 6 x USB 2.0 ports ( 4 ports at back panel, 2 ports at mid-board)
ASMedia® USB 3.1 Gen2 controller*:
* Supports 3A power output

- 1 x USB 3.1 Gen2 front panel connector

6 x USB 3.1 Gen1 ports = 12 Ports Total (HS/SS)
6 x USB 2.0 ports = 6 Ports Total (HS)
1 x USB 3.1 Gen2 ports = 2 Ports Total (HRS/HS)

1 x USB 2.0 Bluetooth Ports = 1 Ports Total (HS)

1 x USB 2.0 Asus Aura Ports = 1 Ports Total

Summary 22 Ports

HSx = USB2.0
SSx = USB3.1 Gen1
USRx = USB3.1 Gen2

Summary                                      15 Ports


Boot exclude:
I excluded the ASUS Aura RGB controller on the port, USR11 and some other USB2 ports that I do not need. So the total port count incl. XHC is exactly 15 ports.

uia_exclude=SS01;HS05;HS06;HS10;HS11;HS13;HS15;USR1 22-8 = 14 Ports + XHC@14 = 15 ports in total

Custom SSDT creation

Rules
  • Use SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl as a template (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-USB-Inject-All/raw/master/SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl)
  • Identify your XHC@14 name with the famous IORegistryExplorer: In my case IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/XHC@14 --> <"pci8086,a2af">
    You will find a section inside the SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl that you can use as a starting point if you build your DSL.
  • Common port connector types are
    USB2 = 0,
    USB3 = 3,
    USB3-C = 9,
    # I assume that the my USB-C mainboard connector has a switch, so the cable can be used in two possible orientations
  • USB31G2_EC1 = ? # I dont know yet. I dont use it
    internal = 255.
USB type C ports can be either 9 or 10, which depends on how the hardware deals with the two possible orientations of a USB type C device/cable.
If a USB-C uses the same SSxx in both orientations, then it has an internal switch (UsbConnector=9).
If a USB-C uses a different SSxx in each orientation, then it has no switch (UsbConnector=10).

Very good... Would you share your set up list of kexts and conf. pls?... I also have the same configuration and want to optimize it to the max.
 
Thank you! The EFI folder ist attached at the end of my post.
 
I notice you have whatevergreen.kext... I do not use it and works great
Also I do not use any KextsToPatch !
and you do not have any ig-platform-id ....to use with your Radeon I use 0x59120003
 
I'd configured the settings as you suggested and I can also confirm that the system does not have any issues so far. Regarding the iGPU "ig-platform-id: 0x59120003 " value. Do you have the CPU iGPU enabled inside the UEFI? And if so, what benefits do we have?: I'd disabled the CPU iGPU.

A proper graphics framebuffer does not exist yet for i7-9700k as far as I know. The most important is that you get full acceleration out of your graphic cards. You would be able to get acceleration without having to set ig-platform-id as I did in the past so it is not a must. However, I prefer using an existing platform id to get it. We can use the one for KabyLake or the one for CoffeLake.

We can use ig-platform-id 0x59120003 (iMac 2017) iMac 18.3 both graphic cards otherwise 0x59120000 for the UHD 630 ONLY, also set config.plist-> Devices -> FakeID -> IntelGFX to 0x59128086.

Other newer option ig-platform-id 0x3E920003 (iMac 2018) both graphic cards otherwise 0x3E9B0007 for the UHD 630 ONLY for the same model...

On the other hand I can see you have some custom flags and you do not need to use “uia_exclude=“custom flag since you have already set your ssdt!

What is the actual information of “Graphics” with your set up on “About this mac” window and the one on System Report/Graphics/Displays? can you share?
 
I have the same board, now focusing on setting Windows but will follow!

Graphics Radeon RX 580 8192 MB
I'd I the iGPU inside the Bios so the UHD 630 does not show up.
 
Good... Check your SMBIOS, you'd be better off with a closer choice to your hardware... Try iMac 18.3 that comes with an I7 instead of a Xeon and it has an RX as well.
Also within ACPI Patches you do not need "change EC0 to EC"...Only required for Embedded Controller (Battery).
