[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

[zipb]

@CaseySJ:

In Clover Configurator, open your config.plist and go to Devices --> Properties. Then change:

• AAPL,ig-platform-id to 0300983E for headless mode. This will allow all A/V apps like Final Cut and iMovie to work correctly. You currently have platform ID 0x3E9B0007 (non-headless) which will cause Final Cut and iMovie (among others) to crash.
• We really really recommend using a discrete GPU such as the AMD RX 580 or Vega 56/64 with headless platform ID 0x3E980003 (which we must specify in reverse-byte order when using Clover Configurator).

Hm. I don't see AAPL, ig-platform-id in Devices. I see 3 places with the Properties name in this part of Clover Configurator. Can you be a bit more specific where I should do what?

On my Z170x, AFAIK the connectorless/headless switch is in the Graphics part of Clover Configurator, via Inject Intel = true and ig-platform-id = 0x19120001, the HD530 equivalent of 0300983E.
This is depreciated?

There's nothing in the Devices part of my config.plist.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Clover Configurator --> Graphics page should have everything blank or turned off.

Hello, CaseySJ. I wanted to ask you how I could prevent the Bluetooth card, BCM94360CS2, from being recognized in Windows 10, and only the Intel CNVi WiFi / BT running the Designare motherboard, because it causes problems with software that I am using so that I can recognize all the functions of the original mouse and keyboard from Apple.
Windows recognizes the mouse with the card BCM94360CS2 and causes me problems, to avoid it I have to disconnect the bluetooth connection from the board BCM94360CS2, so that only the card: Intel CNVi WiFi / BT is working.
In administration devices I have disabled the BCM94360CS2 card, but when starting windows the mouse is recognized again.
Is there any way to delete the driver so that it is not recognized and does not automatically autoinstall ?, or any other solution?
Thank you very much for your patience and your delivery, forgive my English ... it's a goolgle translation.
Thank you

I really can't figure this out — I added VirtualSMC to get fans and voltage data (I did it on clone disk), but it changed nothing. Still no additional info from mobo.
I don't have Fake SMC.kext in /Library/Extensions.

Here are screenshots of Clover folder after adding VirtualSMC and sensors kexts there.
What have I missed?

Did you boot from the cloned disk by pressing F12 at BIOS Splash screen and choosing the cloned disk?

You can also check whether VirtualSMC is running by launching Terminal and typing:

kextstat | grep SMC

So far my build is going along well, except I only have an iGPU so far.

Also, I don't have a PC monitor and have been using an LG 4K TV over HDMI.

I have had issues getting this to work reliably.

I am using the following config for properties.

This gets me full acceleration but then I lose video out. I can VNC in to see it work. I can select all resolutions, but no video out to the TV.

I have tried other things but it leads me to either losing acceleration, or losing video out upon trying a different resolution.

Also, for some reason the TV is detected as 72 inches instead of 55 inches, but that's not as big of a concern right now.

@CODYQX4,

Please see Posts 667 and 668 in the link to see if the same situation applies to your LG TV.

[GUIDE] General Framebuffer Patching Guide (HDMI Black Screen Problem)

That by itself is okay. MacOS uses two different video drivers: During first 2/3 of the startup process it uses a default VESA driver (non-accelerated) and default resolution. During the last 1/3 of the startup process it switches to the accelerated display driver and uses the video resolution...

My TV has 4 HDMI ports. I tested and none seem to make a difference. I was using HDMI 4. HDMI 2 is an ARC port as far as special ports go, but that has no effect.

I do get video for the BIOS screen, and lose it somewhere at the loading Apple progress bar. Also, if I mess with WEG properties in a way that I lose acceleration, I keep video.

I would think there should be some tweaks to the framebuffer that could fix it, but this has been something I've tried to get working on and off for awhile, several hours in and no luck.

I remember I could add a stolenmem patch that would give video and acceleration, but if I changed the resolution, it lost video, and I could only seem to get 1920x1080 in that state.

Thanks. Sorry for being slow, but how do you set these values? These are generated by what? You type them in using a plain text editor/Xcode?

 

[bsholbrook]

As anticipated, your system has only the USB 2 ports active and one USB 3 port (SS01). This explains the USB behavior you reported.

And this most likely identifies the cause:

On this system we cannot use iMac19,2. We must instead use iMac19,1.

Sometimes its the littlest things that catch us up. I've moved to iMac19,1 and the drives are working HorAY!!!! Steps I took as a precaution...

Core Apple Mac OS Coverage - logout of iTunes, FaceTime, Messages and iCloud
Mount EFI in Clover
Backup config.plist to a separate volume
Make the single change from iMac19,2 to iMac 19,1 in SMBIOS
(I left exiting headless graphics elements defined as-is)
Copy Board Serial to RT Variables
Save and Reboot

I've tested USB drives good and also tested h264, decode etc etc.... all looks good so far, a little more testing and I will then make another backup copy. I may look into the CCC updates that were documented which is outstanding! I prefer CCC over Acronis, but EFI coverage has been a little bit of a pain in CCC since some of the earlier tricks broke.
