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

[faithie999]

Bios F15a I am a bit backed up on work right now so not time to test this out on the alpine... I also need to find myself a unmodified firmware.

if you have the GC-Alpine Ridge card rev 2 I have that firmware

I don't know, does the gigbyite desginer 390 card rev 2 have?

I unfortunately did not overwrite it with miniprgramer software that does not save anything and the copy that I had lost when I last formatted it

can you help with?

The original firmware is in the post below. Also, please edit your posts if you want to add more information instead of creating multiple one-line posts.

So what are the odds that flashrom can be used in a gc-titan ridge pcie card? :) edit: Oh.. I re-read after waking up a little bit.. We are only at the READING phase of things, not the writing phase. :)

Are you using a Thunderbolt SSDT? Does the BIOS have an option called “GPIO3 Force Pwr”? Is Thunderbolt Security set to either None or Legacy?

Hi,
I have no GPIO3 option and TB security is set no security.
I have TB SSDT and SSDT DTPG, Thunderbolt rest kext and TbForcePower.efi driver

Hey gang,
I'm in way over my head here, but I have successfully flashed the GB-Titan Ridge card and have an Apple TB display sort of working, but only with a cold and blind boot. I'm using an Aourus Pro Wi-fi (with the wifi disabled).
The Apple TB display is beautiful, but I can't figure out how to get the speakers, microphone and camera to work. Has anyone had success with them?

Note: the flash required the "alternate" configuration with some resistors between the Raspberry Pi and SOIC8 in order to read the chip.

This thread has been simultaneously inspiring and intimidating. Apologies in advance if I haven't found "obvious" answers or am formatting my query poorly.

Thanks to everyone for this amazing body of work.

Incidently: I'm using the Apple TB3 to TB adapter and a second monitor which is a 24" Cinema Display that came with the G5 the machine is in (picked both up at a garage sale for $40 which prompted building this, my first computer.)

I was the original poster on this thread that managed to get the Apple TB Display to work with the Titan Ridge AIC.

I've also got the Z390 Aorus Pro mobo, but with an RX580 video card as one of my hackintosh systems. However, I really don't use it often, and the Apple TB Display is too big for my desk space with my other hacks. I just fired it up with the Apple TB Display plugged in and it's still working fine.

One trick is to be sure the Apple TB Display is plugged in before starting up. I'm sure you have discovered that at this point. The boot screen is shown on my primary display. Near the end of the boot the Apple Display comes to life.

If you are running with two displays and reboot, the Apple TB Display may not come to life.

Have you taken one of the two short Display Port cables that came with the Titan Ridge AIC and plugged one end into the SMALL connector of the TR AIC and plugged the other end into a Display Port port on your video card? That may do the trick for you.

After you do that you can go into the Sound System Preference and set it to use Display Audio, audio will go to the Apple Display, its mic can be used for sound input, and the camera should work. All the ports on the back of the Apple Display should also be usable.

Hope that helps. Let us know how it goes. It really will be a nice system and you've done most of the hard work.

OC Configurator is GREAT and for what it's worth I'm using the DSDT table for mine.

How about posting your patch? As a sample, for instance?

NCMacGuy has already replied to you, but I'll add my 2 cents' worth.

thanks to him I learned about the working Apple TB display and I was able to pick one up from a refurbisher for a good price.

I had originally flashed my GC-Alpine Ridge but am now using @dgsga's "no-flash" approach (I haven't yet tried out @CaseySJ's new SSDT).

I find that 3 times out of 4, my computer boots with the display, mic, camera, and display sound working. as NCMacGuy advised, it's best to boot with only the TB display connected, not with a secondary display connected. I have an old apple HD Cinema Display that connects via DVI, so I picked up a DVI switch box which lets me easily connect and disconnect the Cinema Display from my RX590.

when the "peripherals" don't work after booting, I shut down, flip the PSU switch off for a few seconds, then restart. that usually does the trick for me.

Someone recently replaced the Fenvi due to similar issues; the replacement worked properly. However, when you say Bluetooth “occasionally” fails to connect, I wonder if that’s due to signal strength or interference issues. Metal objects in the path of the signal can greatly attenuate the signal.

Although I advised against installing Broadcom/Fenvi drivers in Windows (because Windows will load new firmware to the Bluetooth module and that can cause paired devices in macOs to become unpaired or lose their security keys), testing the card under Windows can help determine whether or not there’s a hardware problem.

I doubt the hardware is at fault, but who knows?
Just had the same issue again. I checked with IORegistryExplorer what was going on while replugging HS11 (Bluetooth) and HS12 (front USB). Didn't get bluetooth back to work, but noticed an oddity in HS11: it showed "UsbConnector 0x0", just like HS12..
Checked the usb SSDT, which defined HS11 as 0xff. It's really weird. Just to test, I replaced 0xff with 255. Upon rebooting bluetooth worked again and HS11 showed up as 0xff, but I'll just have to wait and see I guess.. ?

Hi everyone! For the past few weeks I've been trying to throubleshoot my problem with KPs. Just a short recap: I was facing random KPs after I booted back from Windows to MacOS and I found out that the Windows SSD caused this. I changed all my drives related to Windows and the problem started again. Without the Windows SSD plugged in works just fine.

Honestly I'm really tired of this already but I really need the Windows boot also! I'm out of ideas..

Anyone with the same issue?
