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

Hi guys,
I have a problem where my Bluetooth magic track pad not working after sleep , in system Pr Bluetooth is on and shows it is connected to track pad. What could be done? Thanks.
Edit, although it shows on I can not turn it off or make changes.
 
@CaseySJ Some more Intel Bluetooth notes...

I reported the version issue to the dev and he said it is just the firmware and not a bug in the kext, and that functionality is not impacted.

On closer look, those with a 9560 who did not have the issue were using version 1.0.2 and not 1.0.3 of the kext.

I downgraded to confirm and it fixed the version. 1.0.2 did this:
1. Bluetooth Core Spec is 5.0 (0x9) instead of Unknown (0xA). Same for LMP Version.

2. Older firmware version. 9.256 and not 10.256.

3. 1.0.2 correctly identifies device types. Example being my magic mouse and keyboard on 1.0.3 are Miscellaneous/Unknown.
Code: 
---1.0.3---
    Magic Keyboard 2:
        Major Type: Miscellaneous
        Minor Type: Unknown
    Magic Mouse 2:
        Major Type: Miscellaneous
        Minor Type: Unknown
---1.0.2---
    Magic Keyboard 2:
        Major Type: Peripheral
        Minor Type: Keyboard
    Magic Mouse 2:
        Major Type: Peripheral
        Minor Type: Mouse

In addition, on 1.0.3 the AFH Map for the devices is different, looks more generic. Also, the Class of Device is all zeroes, which is probably why the major and minor types are off in 1.0.3.

The firmware from 1.0.2 feels more proper, though who knows if there are bugfixes and performances improvements in the newer firmware that outweigh what appear to just be cosmetic issues.

Worth noting the dev is getting these firmwares from Linux (I do not know which Linux builds he is sourcing from. Some of the files were an exact MD5 match with an Ubuntu Server install I have, others were different). We may find a firmware that better matches our card than what the developer has included. I might try to compile 1.0.3 with the older firmware from 1.0.2 (I will probably gut the firmwares that 9560 doesn't need, because I am running out of room in EFI partition).

I noticed one issue today that I don't know if it was in 1.0.3 or 1.0.2 so I am going back to 1.0.3 to see if it goes away. My AirPlay menu bar item always shows. Yes, you can hide it in all cases, but it's supposed to only show when there are available devices, and there are none in my case.

Sure, attached is the original NVM 23. Let us know if this improves/fixes dual-monitor functionality.

@CaseySJ - have you experienced “Drive not ejected properly” messages with patched gc-titan ridge card? Mine will hot plug and eject, but when physically unplugged, will get this message.

Let me ask the obvious! Are you right-clicking the disk icon on your desktop and selecting Unmount?

This is very helpful. Glad to have posted the Micro-Guide... :)
  • It certainly makes a lot of sense to build 1.0.3 with the older firmware.
  • There appears to be nice separation in the code between:
    • Firmware binaries that simply get copied-and-pasted into the hardware module, and
    • Supporting kext code that performs all the housekeeping functions
  • If we can track down the source of the 10.256 firmware, we might get some insight into its status and issues.
 
Typically, it’s a command-e or yes right click and select “eject”. For me, it does eject (unmount) and disk activity stops. But when the cable is pulled, I get the error message from macOS.

I just tried this on my GC-Titan Ridge with modified NVM 23 and a USB-C flash disk. No problem or warning message after CMD-E and physically removing the USB disk.

This might be the next Designare replacement.
The new addition is Vision series, designed for content creators. The Vision G looks quite a lot like NZXT motherboards, sadly we can’t share the picture yet.

20/20 Vision is a good as you can get.

I don’t have any issues with USB-c devices. This is a Thunderbolt drive. Granted, this is an old Thunderbolt 1 device. I’ll try testing with a couple of Thunderbolt 2 SSD’s and see if I get the same result. I’m also going to revert back to unpatched F/W tonight to see if I get dual monitors working again.
