Working BIOS for ASrock H370m-itx/ac

[aeromatic]

@aeromatic quick question. With this mobo you don't need to buy any wireless + BT adapter for hand-off/continuity right? the mobo's Intel 802.11ac WiFi + BT 4.2 will do it?

Only bluetooth works

@aeromatic I building my first hachintosh around this mobo but as @UnMacX there isn't any golden build.

Can you upload your Clover file? Or could just write a little guide for people like me?

Hi, my hack is nearly a golden build now. Everything works but for 100Hz HDMI on the 34" ultra wide display.
To return to the topic of this thread, bios v3.0 works fine for me.
I had display issues with v3.1 but I think it was caused by a poor display port cable. I would need to try 3.1 again to confirm.

Attached an archive of the EFI and L/E folders.
NOTE: The config.plist contains properties for the MSI Vega 56 8MB Airboost. You might need to remove it if you are using the iGPU.

I'll write a detailed build post sometimes.

I got a BCM94352Z card with 2 antenna ports from Amazon. Wifi + Bt work fine including airdrop and continuity features. I followed the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide].
Initially, the bluetooth connection was slow and erratic with the trackpad. I solved it by switching to a 5Ghz Wifi network. Now it seems to work normally. I think these combo cards that share the same antennas for Wifi and BT are prone to interferences.
Make sure to use a good PH00 screwdriver to replace the M.2 card though. I had to drill out one of the screws from the shroud holding the M.2 wifi card and antenna ports to the logic board.

Does the bluethoot work default without Kext, even you? Anyway, my bluethoot is a little weak, but the wifi of default doesn't work, did you try some kexts? How can I make the Wifi work? And improving bluetoot? How did you do it?

Yes, BT works without any kext. I use it with airpods and it's fine (worse than iPhone's one).
To make wifi work i think you have to replace the hardware module but i'm not sure because i don't need it...

Using the BIOS v1.50 sleep/wake capability didn't work...
Using the BIOS v3.00 i was not able to boot anything with clover (don't know why). Can you share some screens of your settings?

you could attach your config plist since you have a lot less problems than I would like to see yours! thank you

At the moment i'm using a configuration with HS and i don't have a config.plist for mojave

Hi @aeromatic,
With the plugintype=1 clover option sleep was working ok.
I created a ssdt following this guide though as it seemed to be the recommended way:
[Guide] Generate SSDT For Coffee Lake CPU
-> The UHD 630 was capped at 500Mhz with the SSDT, I removed it using just pluggintype=1 and it is not running at 1049Mhz.

Here are screenshots of my bios. Note that I enabled the CSM mode to take the bios screenshots that's why the last one is distorted. CSM has no impact on sleep. (sorry for the long post, I don't know how to make a gallery)
