Gentlemen,
We’ve been hacking away at Thunderbolt 3 PCIe cards, and enjoying the connectivity options that they bring. With the help of Caseysj and others, we flashed controllers to enable additional functionality. It’s been fun.
Now 3rd party Thunderbolt 4 add in cards are coming to market. First up is ASUS with its Thunderbolt 4 Maple Ridge controller.

- I wonder how these new Thunderbolt controllers will behave (e.g., will they be compatible with most if not all Thunderbolt devices as the status quo is hit or miss).
- I also wonder whether Thunderbolt bus in macOS can be enabled without the need to flash the controller.
- I wonder how Thunderbolt 4 controllers interface with the kernel and also other hardware as compared to Titan Ridge and Alpine Ridge.
- I’m wondering if Thunderbolt 4 controllers can even be flashed, especially if intel made enhancements to protect against Thunderbolt vulnerabilities such as Thunderspy.
