Z490 & Z590 - Will Z590 ever have macOS Support ?

I've updated the SSDT,
  • Shutdown system
  • Flip power switch to OFF for 10 seconds
  • Power up
It's still the same so far, unfortunately. It appears as info in PCI & Thunderbolt/USB4 tree but I cannot see the devices.
Do you have any PCIe cards plugged in to a port that might be sharing bandwidth with the TB4 card? E.g., bottom PCIe x4 slot?
 
Getting somewhere aren't we (I did nothing, just playing along as a tester)? I feel like as we approach the ARM switch we could use one good season of easy going TB functionality for all.

Its not working but it sure as heck loaded the Thunderbolt Bus.View attachment 531493

Very nice! interesting your UID and version are set to 0 but Insomnia's were filled out. I'm tempted to buy a GC-Maple Ridge or EX4 to mess with... Just when I was about to retire my hack :lol:

I did a hack job piecing my SSDT together to have the newer patches. I'll need to tinker with some guidance from the pros here.

Just curious what if you use this SSDT (Same as the one Casey provided to Insomnia in this post but adapted)

Hopefully the Alder Lake and Raptor Lake PCHs boot macOS just fine, perhaps with some CPUID spoofing.

No thunderbolt bus enabled on the Z590 Vision D, but with the updated device properties, using Device ID: 0x15eb, AppleThunderboltNHIType3 attaches (instead of Type 4). System sleeps fine with this driver loaded.

You need to see this! With the device properties you provided, we can enable Thunderbolt Bus on Maple Ridge! It therefore looks as if the Maple Ridge controller can be flipped from ICM mode to OS Managed mode without requiring a firmware modification. But before we get too excited, Thunderbolt devices connect, but they do not actually work!

This is from Asus X570S ProArt Creator (AMD Ryzen) with on-board Maple Ridge:

Hi @CaseySJ

Incredible thing !

we should have an idea on Asus firmware about differences from other firmwares. I think about tbpatch OSY's software to read firmware content :
  • copy tbpatch file (here) on desktop
  • Terminal commands:
    • cd Desktop && sudo ./tbpatch list
    • enter your password
  • I don't know if it work as we don't have any devices like IOThunderboltIECSNub, AppleHPMIECS and AppleHPMDevice devices ... but we can expect hopefully result
