Gigabyte B550 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + AMD RX 5600 XT

Can I have you do my aero 370g board again to .072. (You should have EFI.) Everything has been solid. You might want to add it to hackindrom. You still need wifi dirver working though. I can test the WiFi if out if you want.

Unfortunately I am already supporting too many boards:
  • Z390 Designare
  • Z490 Vision D
  • Z490 Vision G
  • B550 Vision D
  • Asus X99 Deluxe II
  • ASRock X570 Taichi
It's quite straightforward to update OpenCore. I created a guide here:
 
Yes, that too!
Hi again! @CaseySJ thanks for the advice. The CH341 has arrived! For now I have no intention to flash the GC-Alpine Ridge 2.0 because I'm afraid I will lose the TB on Windows no? My initial project was to use the built-in of the B550 Vision D for windows and the GC-Alpine on Mac with flashed RIN. Do you think is a good idea? :) Thanks!

Hello @Vorshim92,

Before we even consider flashing the Thunderbolt firmware we should connect our Thunderbolt devices and see if they work. If they work well enough, it is much better to keep the original firmware.

We flash the firmware for some specific devices that (a) don't work at all or (b) work poorly with the original firmware. Some of these devices are listed in this post.
 
I really hope that we dont need to resort to getting a separate pci-e network card on the B550 going forward to Monterey later. It would be a shame to not be able to use both ports on the mobo. I hope someone will be able to figure out the smalltree issue :)
 
Hello,
Under Monterey, use a HUB, USB to CHOETECH brand network Ref: USB-U02BK.
Recognized by macOS Monterey.
Plugged into one of the USB3.1 Thunderbolt ports.
 
Hi @CaseySJ and everyone
First of all, thanks for this tremendous guide! It really is thoroughly written and easy to understand even for newbies like me.

Around July I bought this motherboard as well as the 5900x, rx6800xt, broadcom card, and bunch of hardware mentioned in the 1st page. I even bought the CH341a cause i want the full thunderbolt bus working. However, the website that I bought from didn't really update the naming of the board, and I only realize I got the D-P board after it arrived my place. I'm going to try the guide first, if it doesn't work I will have to switch to windows for the time being unfortunately.

My hardware list as below:
MB: B550 vision D-P
CPU: 5900x
Ram: ballistix DDR4-3600mhz 16GB x4
SSD: Aorus Gen4 7000s 1TB
GPU: 5700xt reference (I'm using this GPU from my previous z390 build to test it out first, since i know it works flawlessly)

because it is a D-P board, I would love to get a double confirm from you guys just so I didn't miss any of the steps.
I have been reading the post from page 90 sth and i know i need to update the config.plist and include the realtek kext into the EFI folder.
Since I'm going for a fresh install, I grabbed the 0.7.2 opencore folder, put in the lucy realtek kexts, enabled it from the 12-core config, and also copied the device properties from the 0.7.0 config from #946.
And since I'm going to use my old 5700xt to test out the system before i put in the 6800xt, I also enabled the 5700xt aml.
The config.plist is attached.

Also, should I be using the F2 BIOS or the newest F12 BIOS for the D-P board? I'm going to disable resize BAR anyway.

Thanks for the helps!

Hello @issssac,

We've had some chronic problems with Thunderbolt on the B550 Vision D-P. We were never able to get working/reliable Thunderbolt. An alternative would be the Gigabyte X570S Aero with an add-in Thunderbolt card.

However, you're welcome to experiment with the B550 Vision D-P.

Regarding BIOS, it's okay to start with F12 (with Resizable BAR turned off) and iterate backwards to F2 if problems persist.

Because of the relatively high level of interest in the B550 Vision D-P, please keep us updated on your progress. We'll try to help you as much as we can.
