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

Figured out the missing audio/USB devices on DSB1. Turns out using the UI to generate the DROM doesn't active port 5. Manually generated the DROM after enabling port 5 fixes this issue. Still have the missing device tree when a device is attached, but it's progress.

@Inqnuam,

Can you please check the HackinDROM implementation for Lenovo? There may be a checksum or DROM-length issue that prevents Port 5 from activating.

This suggests that Pins 1 and 3 might not be jumpered properly. It may also mean that the older Z170 is not compatible with the GC-Alpine Ridge for whatever reason (but this sounds less plausible).

No! That is a false conclusion.

Here's my Z490 Vision D with (a) built-in TB3 on Bus 0 and (b) flashed GC-Titan Ridge on Bus 2. Pins 1 and 3 of GC-Titan Ridge are jumpered because there's no Thunderbolt header. There are 2 ports on Bus 0 and another 2 ports on Bus 2.

There are numerous other user examples in this thread and in other threads on tonymac.

I don't think jumping the pins works on the GC-ALPINE RIDGE like it does for the GC-TITAN RIDGE because pin 3 isn't 3.3V on the GC-ALPINE RIDGE like it is on the GC-TITAN RIDGE.

So you may need to connect it to 3.3V somewhere else.

Then even if Force Power is working, the firmware of the add-in card may be hiding the Thunderbolt controller. You can use my pciutils with pcitree.sh to show PCIe devices that are hidden that way.

You can get the USB controller of the GC-ALPINE RIDGE to unhide itself and work by poking in UEFI:
#2,475

It may be that the UEFI of the hackintosh may alter behavior from what I get using my MacPro3,1 which has no Thunderbolt stuff in UEFI.

Hi guys,

Im thinking of switching from the "Kraken X52" to the "Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4" but Im curious if anyone knows if it fits or will it cover the first PCI slot?

Hella thanks

@Inqnuam,

Thank you! I found the problem and its affecting all DROMs.
Vendor name and Device name lengths are calculated including previous 0x00 byte, that's why we got an incorrect result.
After the hacking of the server I restored a very old version of the calculator. Ill fixing this as soon as possible!

@joevt, Have you seen these posts?

Hi, my hack has been running great for a while now (currently OS 10.14.6 and Clover 5.13.0.1) Yesterday I finally tried swapping out OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi for OcQuirks-4.efi and FwRuntimeServices.efi. It booted fine but I had the strangest issues. In Logic Pro 10.5.1 several plugins had...

@oreoapple, To double-check, you're using a GC-Alpine Ridge (not Titan Ridge)?

Then even if Force Power is working, the firmware of the add-in card may be hiding the Thunderbolt controller. You can use my pciutils with pcitree.sh to show PCIe devices that are hidden that way.

Correct. But when we flash the firmware, the controller operates in non-ICM mode and unhides itself. Moreover, even if the firmware is not flashed, we can use an SSDT to unhide the controller and enable Thunderbolt Bus. We have a repository of such SSDTs located here.

Yes, I suspect something like this may be happening on the Gigabyte Z170X UD5. If the GC-Alpine Ridge works for @oreoapple on a more recent system (newer UEFI - Z390) then it lends credibility to this argument against the older Z170 UD5.

You have impeccable timing! Please see the post below from about 22 minutes ago. It uses Dark Rock Pro 4 with an AMD RX 5700 XT in Slot 1. No issues. A large photo is included.

Anyone tried Big Sur Public Bbeta 2? It seems to be working just fine on my box, safari seems to be working; was broken on the last beta of iGPU was enabled. Sleep works. Will update shortly. Big Sur Public Beta #2 Released Today...

I was wrong, only Lenovo is incorrect.
I think I took a wrong SSDT.aml of Lenovo from the forum as base to the calculator. So please send me a working SSDT @AndyC

 

[Inqnuam]

Okay I though HackinDROM generated wrong SSDTs so I checked almost every line of the code, then generated SSDT for my system and tested it, but I got No Thunderbolt Device found in System Report ...
Then, I reset NVRAM and only after that macOS recognised TB and the new SSDT

There is a fully working sample SSDT for Lenovo in the Lenovo Micro-Guide. Please see this:

Oh, that’s not good! This generally means the SOIC clip is not attached properly. Gently lift and reseat the clip. At least the device is being recognized and read. Also try using spispeed 2048 or 4096 instead of 1024. ok so reseat and try again. If it doesn’t work, try 2048 instead of 1024...

On OpenCore 0.6.0 and Big Sur Beta (Build 20A5343j) and my onboard audio has disappeared after 11 days of working perfectly. Not a big deal, but has anyone else seen/experienced this?
