I noticed in this thread "SBUS" being used. In the hunt for getting my name changes down to zero I've been trying out this (attached) AML that's supposed to do it. With the name change I get SATA in IOReg and SBUS is already there.

@NorthAmTransAm,

The ACPI device name "SBUS" is usually reserved for the SMBus (System Management Bus) .. which is a simple two wire communications bus commonly used in PC's for things like sensor and status monitoring.

The SBUS device should be totally separate the SATA devices ... your IOREG looks OK to me.

Thanks Jay. Any chance you could help me learn something that keeps going over my head? Ignore if you're not up to it.

Am I on the right track to accomplishing the name change with this?

Code: 
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "HACK", "SsdtSATA", 0x00001000)
{
    External (_SB_.PCI0, DeviceObj)    // (from opcode)
    External (_SB_.PCI0.SAT0, DeviceObj)    // (from opcode)

    Scope (\_SB.PCI0)
    {
        Scope (SAT0)
        {
            Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
            {
                If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
                {
                    Return (Zero)
                }
                Else
                {
                    Return (0x0F)
                }
            }
        }

        Device (SATA)
        {
            Name (_HID, "HACK0001")  // _HID: Hardware ID
            Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
            {
                If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
                {
                    Return (0x0F)
                }
                Else
                {
                    Return (Zero)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

@NorthAmTransAm,

Your code is a little bit OTT just to rename SAT0 to SATA but it will work.
To stream line it further you can merge the two Scope commands into one :-

Code: 
 Scope (\_SB.PCI0\SAT0)


And there is no need for the conditional returns in the _STA methods ...
As this code is being injected as a custom SSDT it will only apply to MacOS so no need to check for other OS Types.

I assume you know that Clover can do the rename for you without having to resort to a SSDT and that this is an exercise in ACPI coding ?

Cheers
Jay

Yeah I've had it done in Clover. I just wanted to learn! Didn't work however.

Hi,

I've been though this guide and some others, and I don't seem to be able to get my system to play DRM content.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, so I'm posting all the information I have in hope that somebody much wiser than me has a look at it.

I'm posting all the info which I find relevant + EFI folder.

Does this mean iMac14,2 is not supported?
I'd rather not change my system definition (I'm using a haswell cpu)

I'm wondering if anyone can help with this, I have a system where I would like to use my integrated GPU and my discrete GPU for powering dual monitors.

Currently my integrated GPU has been configured as headless.

I have an Intel UHD 630, and the rest of my specs can be seen in my profile. Currently my Radeon VII works fine, and hot-plugging any displays to my UHD 630 will cause a system hang.

I am using SMBIOS iMac19,1, and I have WhateverGreen installed. I did read somewhere that WeG will automatically initialise the IGP as headless if it sees a discrete card.

My question is, what do I do next?

IGPU headless = no monitor connected (the "head" being monitor(s))

If you want to connect more monitors, they should be plugged in to your Radeon VII.

I have a specific reason for wanting to plug this display device into the IGP - the VII does not support >4 monitors on macOS, this includes when chaining DisplayPort outputs through my U2515H.

If you need to use IGPU for monitor(s), you will have de-configure it to NOT operate heedlessly.

I don't know how macOS will behave if you do this. I don't know what's the best system definition to use for this.

I just need to know the correct bootflags in case there is WhateverGreen interference, and the correct ig-platform-id to enable the GPU correctly. Would you happen to know this information?

I had an RX 580 and the HD 4600 working in this way on my previous build which worked fine with multiple monitors, so macOS can handle it.
