Right on time! First week of the new month. Will work on 0.6.3 EFI zips today and tomorrow.

Where will you post your OC 0.6.3 EFI zips when they're done? I've finally got 0.6.3 to boot on my rig, but had a struggle to get my bluetooth going. Looking to compare my work with yours.

*** OpenCore 0.6.3 for Z390 Designare ***
Testers Needed​

Looking for a couple of volunteers to test the attached OpenCore 0.6.3 EFI for Z390 Designare. Please test this with a USB flash disk.

• At least one Mojave volunteer
• At least one Catalina volunteer
• Optionally, at least one Big Sur volunteer

Download the attached ZIP file, unzip, and rename the parent folder to EFI.

• Really bad things will happen if you don't do this.

Inside the new EFI/OC folder it will be necessary to choose one of the following pre-configured files:

• config-AMD-GPU.plist ----> if you have an AMD GPU choose this file
• config-Intel-iGPU.plist ----> if you do not have an AMD GPU choose this file

Then rename the file to simply:

• config.plist

And finally, copy the 5 PlatformInfo credentials into the new config.plist:

• Now copy the entire EFI folder to the EFI partition of the USB flash disk.
• Then reboot and press F12 at BIOS Splash Screen to open the BIOS Boot Menu.
• Choose the USB flash disk.

Does the system boot?
Any error or warnings displayed?

Working on it now. I'll let you know the results in a bit.

We're rapidly running out of options. Only things left to try are:

• BIOS --> Thunderbolt --> Thunderbolt Boot Support --> Boot Once
• BIOS --> CSM Support --> Enabled
• Enable Platform ID 0x3E9B0007 (just to experiment with because this setting can cause applications to crash and Safari to misbehave)
• Flash the firmware

The more extreme options are:

• Use a second monitor at the same time. The second monitor should be a standard non-Thunderbolt monitor.
• Replace the Thunderbolt monitor with a standard, non-Thunderbolt monitor.

I have "boot once" enabled already. I will try csm support enabled. The firmware on the Titan ridge is already flashed.

@CaseySJ Just updated to your OC 0.6.3 and everything is working perfectly including my OWC Thunderbay Mini. This time I made sure to reset the NVRAM before the first boot. Thanks for getting the update out so quickly.

Well your EFI boots my Big Sur Install alright. I do get the "Legacy System Extension" warning as attached below. Honestly I'm more confused after having a quick look at your EFI. 1 - Why do you load "OpenUsbKbDxe.efi"? my research says it's not needed. 2- Your "PlateformInfo" section is missing the new "Memory" section. 3 - Why are you loading "AudioDxe.efi" isn't the Audio handled by "AppleALC" kext? 4 - "OpenCore Sanity Checker" has flagged a few other entries in your EFI, but I'm most curious about the # 1 & 3.. Thanks for sharing.

Is anyone here tried to flash titan ridge with arceli ch341a programmer ? manual, posted here, states, that after connecting programmer to usb port red led must turn on (not blue led). but in my case - blue led always turned on and i cannot use programmer with flashrom. i can't find information about what blue led means.
