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

[Ponkass]

What about the Gigabyte one?

Looks nice! But I think it doesn't support the Z390? :/

Can someone look at the aml file from HackinDROM and compare to the one that pastry chef includes in his EFI folder from his golden build Z390M Gaming? If I use the SSDT-DTPG.aml+HackinDROM.aml file, my Apple Thunderbolt Display may recognize the usb hub, FaceTime camera, sound, maybe once in 5 reboots. If I use the one from pastrychef's EFI, it works every time. I am wondering why one works reliably and the other doesn't? Is it related to the RP05 vs RP21? Pastrychef's file(SSDT-Z390-RP05-SLOT4-TB3HP.aml) is 3x the number of lines too. I have a Z390 Gaming M MB with the Titan Ridge 1.0 AIC(flashed using GC-TITAN-RIDGE-NVM23-Elias64Fr.bin).

by default HackinDROMs add in cards are specially designed for Designare.
You have to make some changes when you're using them on different platforms

Have you flashed your TB chip?

This is pastrychef's SSDT uploaded to HackinDROM, as you can see the RP is 05

This is your SSDT generated with HackinDROM which has RP21 (which is for DESIGNARE)

Try the attached .aml files please
This is the configuration I used to generate your .aml for your AIC Titan Ridge

It's rather not tbh. I always stay one OS behind to make sure bugs have been ironed out. I remember reading Catalina was quite a pain with pro audio.

Im on Catalina Hackintosh + full audio production configuration and no problem with Catalinas last versions

Would you recommend doing a full re-install?
This was my first build, and I followed the tutorial to the letter. Haven't spent time on the intricacies of hackintoshes. With OC, it's as simple as preparing an install usb and dropping the EFI that CaseySJ made?

@Lukey1979,

Please confirm the following:

• Are you using EFIClone-v2?
• Are you running Catalina (and making backup of Catalina)?

Also, please post the EFIClone script itself from the Carbon Copy Cloner scripts folder. Just run CCC and select Utilities --> Reveal CCC's Scripts folder.


@byteminer,

Please have a look at this issue. The log below seems to be from EFIClone-V2, but not sure:

[Wed Aug 26 20:32:03 AEST 2020] - TEST_SWITCH:
[Wed Aug 26 20:32:03 AEST 2020] - Full Run (N)

[Wed Aug 26 20:32:05 AEST 2020] - Mounting EFI source partition failed.

Hello Casey,

Yes I am using EFIClone-v2 and yes I am running and making full backups of Catalina.

Its odd as I have never has an issue with it. The most recent change for my system was the transition from Clover to OpenCore, however I believe CCC was successful when I made the first backup since moving to OpenCore.

@Lukey1979,

As mentioned above, can you please run the following command in Terminal and provide the output?

diskutil list

Hi guys,

as requested.

I wasn't sure if you wanted me to have my backup SSD plugged in, if so let me know and I will run this again with the backup SSD attached.

I went with Casey's OC 0.6.0 EFI for Catalina, full install and the system is very very very stable. (I don't see any notable difference with my real Mac) Im using UAD Apollo Thunderbolt (with TB flashed firmware), Soundtoys, all Native Instruments, all Waves, Logic Pro, Cubase and all Steinbergs products, FL Studio. I never had problem during my productions, mixes, recordings. So after my own experience I recommend Catalina with OC 0.6.0.
Just give a try by installing Catalina (with your plugins) on a secondary stockage drive and make some tests. If you're still not confortable and you have problems with the system you can still go back to Mojave

Good morning @CaseySJ
Today I uploaded a TB SSDT created by pastrychef on HackinDROM and detected a bug: when ThunderboltDROM Buffer is something else than 0xFF (in this case it is "One") so the extracted TB UID was wrong, I fixed it!
Also in pastrychef's SSDT TB UID is a little bit different from your created SSDTs.

0x76, 0x00, 0xC1, 0x71, 0xC5, 0xBE, 0x49, 0x01, 0x00,

the differences is colored in violet
Considering this difference I decided to extract byte number 8 too to calculate the correct CRC8 but I don't know if this is an error or not, and why byte 8 is 01 at him and 00 at you
Also his TB UID has not only numbers while in your ThunderboltDROM mini-guides you say to take 2 random digital numbers for the 5 bytes

I use Pro Tools/Logic Pro/Cubase/Bitwig/etc with tons of plug ins using Clover & 10.14.6/Mojave, also with a Lynx Aurora(-n) TB. No TB flashing for me. Works OK, comparable to a real Mac.
What I am missing(but not much): TB3 network connection to a fancy QNAP NAS. No TB filesharing/copying with a real Mac.

At me its working perfectly with flashed Winbond
