Gigabyte Z690 Aero G + i5-12600K + AMD RX 6800 XT

@CaseySJ

I installed a GC-Titan Ridge v1 card I had flashed with 23.0 back when... I see this is not the recommended version for Big Sur 11.3+, but it sort of works for me.

SSDT-DTPG.aml and SSDT-TB3-HackinDROM.aml are loaded in my config.plist. There is no hot plug, but a TB3 external SSD does appear in Finder on a warm boot. USB3 external drives do work when hot plugged into the TB3 port.

I have failed in my attempts to flash a GC-Titan Ridge v2 card. I don't know whether my CH341a programmer died, or there is some other issue.

I have no current need for TB3, so I will live with what I have working.
I was able to flash a Titan Ridge V2 card yesterday. USB-C drives work hot-plugged but no Thunderbolt.

Go figure!!!

Did your Thunderbolt connect after a warm boot (boot macOS once, then restart)?
 
These two ACPI patches fix both of the errors I was seeing:

Patch 1: Table IgfxSsdt
  • Table Signature: SSDT
  • OemTableID: 49676678 53736474
  • Find: 4D435F5F
  • Replace: 4D434843
  • Comment: Change MC__ to MCHC
  • Count = 0
  • Limit = 0
  • Skip =0
  • Enabled = True
Patch 2: Table GSWApp
  • Table Signature: SSDT
  • OemTableID: 47535741 7070
  • Find: 43031419 41444247
  • Replace: 43031419 58444247
  • Comment: Change ADBG to XDBG
  • Count = 1
  • Limit = 0
  • Skip = 0

@CaseySJ so glad you figured this out this is so great. I did this and it works exactly. My only issue is that my USB does not trigger wake event so I have to manually press the power button to wake it up. I tried searching BIOS for "USB wake" option I don't see it. Wondering if I missed it in the bios or its something else that we have to do

I have a simple wired USB keyboard and mouse connected to front panel USB 3.0 port. The system wakes whenever I press a key on the keyboard.

What is the make/model of your keyboard and how/where is it connected? I've experienced problems with a particular USB switch on a particular USB port, hence the question.
 
@CaseySJ

I added your ACPI patches (triple checked that they were correctly entered), which fixed the lines during boot that flashed just before the OC Picker is displayed. Unfortunately they did not fix the second wake causing a reboot on my system.

My patch entries:

I guess it's just another one of the quirks with these hackintoshes.
Are you running BIOS F6a on the Z690 Aero G? If the problem persists, I'd like to examine the boot log as follows:
Bash:
log show --last boot | head -1500 > ~/Documents/bootlog.txt
This will create bootlog.txt in Documents folder.

Please try this modified SSDT. Two issues fixed:
  • PCI0 changed to PC00
  • Device HRUS deleted
Alas you're on the (b)leading edge on this. The Thunderbolt procedure hasn't been finalized, but we're nearly there.

After rebooting, please run IORegistryExplorer and select File --> Save As..., then post the saved file.

I have a logitech G915 keyboard and Logitech super light Pro mouse using the "light speed" USB receivers (not using bluetooth) so it should act like a normal USB keyboard/mouse. Neither my mouse nor keyboard can wake up the PC and it's plugged in the back on the top black USB 3.0 port HS01, HS03 (I think your picture labeled it as HS02,HS04 - but I did my USB mapping using USBTOOLBox). They work perfectly fine when the desktop is awake just doesn't trigger wake from sleep. On my previous MSI z690 board there was an option to explicitly set wake from USB otherwise it won't work. Is there something like this for this gigabyte board?

If you move the Logitech light speed receiver to another port such as a Blue or Red port, do you get the same problem?
  • Black ports are USB 2.0.
  • Blue ports are USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps).
  • Red ports are USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).
    • Some red ones can also be USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps).
Other thoughts:
  • Is SSDT-GPRW.aml disabled? (It should be disabled.)
  • Do you have other USB devices? If so, do they wake-from-sleep properly after you press power button?
 
** GC-Titan Ridge Update **


A flashed GC-Titan Ridge with NVM33 is working very well.
  • Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro hot plugs
  • Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter hot plugs
  • Devices resume after wake-from-sleep
At this time the only recommended Thunderbolt adapter for Gigabyte Z690 Aero G is a Titan Ridge-based model. A flashed version is best. We are experiencing various compatibility issues with Alpine Ridge and Maple Ridge at the moment.

GC-Titan Ridge should be connected to motherboard with 5-pin Thunderbolt header.

Issues:
  • When a Thunderbolt device is connected to GC-Titan Ridge, the system may not stay asleep. System will enter sleep and then wake a few seconds later. This happens whether Wake from Thunderbolt is enabled or disabled in BIOS.
Here we see:
  • Belkin Dock being hot unplugged
  • Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter being hot plugged

The Thunderbolt SSDT has to be adapted for Z690 platform. I've asked @Inqnuam to upload a new GC-Titan Ridge SSDT that will work with Z590 and Z690 platforms that have HRUS device and PC00 instead of PCI0.

Meanwhile, please try attached version.
