Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

Firstly, I'm struggling a little bit with how to get the really cool "quoted" items in line :), but this should answer the questions.
ACPI page:

Yes, "standard open Core", per the settings:

I used the file "V2-OC-0.5.9-STD-Z490-VISION-D.zip" as the basis for the EFI.

My video card is an MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor 8G OC: (I wanted to be just like you - lulz)

Monitor is an older (2013) Asus VS278Q-P connected via HDMI via the bottom-most port on the Radeon card.

I'm thinking to myself "NO WAY - THE SCREEN WAS WAY DIFFERENT... ?" And it IS DIFFERENT

BECAUSE I WAS EDITING THE WRONG SCREEN :banghead:

I'll, um... humbly go back to the drawing board ;)


Thank you for your assistance. I'll be sure to post up again once I have my duck in the preverbial row.

Regarding the Pi stuff... that was super simple. I've played around with Arduino and custom circuits before, so that was nearly plug-n-play! I haven't made any other thunderbolt changes yet... I was indeed curious to see if the BIOS update undid the flash. I'll be sure to let everyone know, just much easier to work like this... right out of the box!

It's always the little things!

Once your installation is complete, we'll get you a new Thunderbolt SSDT. The one you're using now is okay for installation purposes, but should be replaced eventually.
 
Alas, I followed the instructions this time, and I still get the same result - gets about 60% then hangs, black screen , motherboard indicates A0:
  • I started the EFI process from scratch, unzipping, renaming to config.plist, and filling in the 3 fields on the CORRECT screen :), and saving. I closed the file, reopened and ensured the values were saved.
  • I mounted the EFI on the flash drive using Clover, deleted the old EFI folder, emptied the trash, and replaced it with the new one.
  • Unmounted the drive, installed it in the new rig, and unfortunately, the same behavior. I was hoping that my glaring oversight was the magic bullet.
  • I've triple checked the BIOS settings. Exactly as your screenshots (I did select "Boot Once" for Thunderbolt, since I do have a thunderbolt monitor I'd like to try eventually)
  • My ACPI screen looks Identical to my first screenshot.
I tried this as well:
  • Switched the motherboard to Internal Graphics, and moved the cable over (but left the install package alone). This time it got to 45% and hung there, BUT the screen didn't go black.
  • Could it be a "bad write" to the Samsung Drive?
Hmm.... I'm open to any suggestions. I'm not going to give up!!

Several comments:
  • Please use the attached Thunderbolt SSDT that was generated with @Inqnuam's very handy website located here.
    • Just disable the existing SSDT-TB3HP in config.plist and add the new one (also copy it to OC/ACPI folder)
  • Which version of BIOS are you using? Is it F5?
  • Also try using the 15-port USB SSDT (SSDT-UIAC-VISION-D-V1.aml) instead of V2. This is just a matter of unchecking V2 and checking-on V1 in the ACPI section of OpenCore Configurator.
  • Enable verbose mode by adding the -v flag to Boot Arguments as shown. At the OpenCore Picker menu, press spacebar to reveal additional options. Then select NVRAM Reset on the far right. When the system reboots, begin the installation process and now you'll see a detailed log. When the startup process freezes, grab a photo with your smartphone, then remove EXIF location information from the photo, and post.

I was ready to bite my lip and post another "Help Wanted" screenshot, but I figured this one was better:
Thank you Casey and to everyone else who spend the time to make the magic!

When I click install, it goes back to the macOS Utilities window. How to proceed?
What is you stockage drive type? HDD, SSD, NVMe?
What is your stockage drive format?
Have you tried with another format? macOS extended, AFPS ...
Have you tried to format the drive with another utility than the installers one? (Terminal, Linux based live os etc.)
Have you tried to format at very slow speed?
Finally have you tried to install to another drive?

What is your BIOS configurations concerning the stockages?

Screenshots may help us.

Congratulations!!

Verbose Mode can be disabled by removing “-v” and rebooting. It may be necessary to reset NVRAM again from the OpenCore Picker (spacebar then select Reset NVRAM).

Indeed. Now that I'm beginning to understand the architecture of the platform a bit I can start messing around a bit. It's nice moving from "following steps" to actually understanding what's happening!
