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

Big Props @CaseySJ on 1,580 pages of high-quality technical jiggery-pokery. This thread must be pure gold for those with this motherboard wanting to get every ounce of performance and functionality out of it :thumbup:

I think @Elias64Fr just turned this into a Platinum Build. :)
 
@augustopaulo and all Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Xtreme Owners:
  • If you can extract your Thunderbolt firmware and post it, I may be able to modify those 7 bytes for you.
 
@jb007

Can you please clarify whether Option 1 or Option 2 is the right one?

Option 1:
  • Connect Vcc from flasher to Pin 8
  • Connect CS from flasher to Pin 1
  • Connect 10K Ohm resistor between Pins 1 and 8 of the chip
Option 2:
  • Connect Vcc from flasher to Pin 8
  • Connect 10K Ohm resistor between Pins 1 and 8 of the chip
  • (But do not connect CS from flasher.)
@CaseySJ.
Just awoken. Option 1. The /CS pin still needs to be connected.
 
@CaseySJ would be awesome if you would check the Titan Ridge PCIe Card aswell!
Maybe it will be also better then the patched firmware going around.
Awesome work guys @Elias64Fr @CaseySJ
Will start to work on an on the fly patcher for macOS tonight.

Did a quick test on my Titan Ridge and just flashed the Designare.bin onto the PCIe Card.
Thunderbolt works but USB seems death

Attached is the GC-Titan Ridge firmware version 23 modified according to @Elias64Fr's input. Please evaluate. It may be necessary to apply ThunderboltDROM by extracting those bytes from the binary image and copying them into the SSDT.
