By the way - just found one commit in linux tree that may have link to our issue - looks like Apple uses different approach for message sequencing in ICM https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a78ec0d4f0eada03378413d51c92d0c1253133fa#diff-64d48cd31028512e72f9431ab48a0600 So, in theory, this...

Could you please expand Statistics in your THunderboltHAL? And please attach original ioreg file. P.S. Sorry, didn't manage that this ioreg is from real macbook. Just ignore my message - your setup has nothing special, and we had such setup months ago. TB is still in absolutely non-functional state.

I have TB15 on my workplace if somebody will have any fresh ideas :)

By the way - as i understand things - notification layer in TB3 is not on ACPI level. Thunderbolt 3 is MMIO based device - and there is memory-region for communication mailbox. And separate IRQ. So it is supposed that any changes in TB configuration should go through ICM interface (and NHI...

As topic for my lovely 9550 was banned on Tony - i have stopped most of my activity here, except of some read-only :) I'm trying to write here as less as possible. Viva la other forums. As of powering on TBT on boot - best place ever, IMHO, is - _OSI method (or, as most are using - XOSI). Just...

I have promised myself that i will not post here anymore... But will make exception. By design, all systems with TB host chip on-board, always have ability to force-power tb-controller. And this ability is done by WMI instruments in ACPI. There is always method in ACPI code with ID as...

About updates - you can easily use this solution https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2016/12/16/installing-updates-from-sucatalog-gz/ For me works perfectly, no more changes of SMBIOS for updates. Just cook install.pkg with macOS update and install as normal application.

Yes, it is. And to fight with that issue we need somebody experienced in EFI hacking. Currently i'm trying to investigate how things are working, but my current goal is to fix AptioFix drivers in clover to fix hardware NVRAM on my laptop - it is also related to EFI internal, and memory mapping...

Did you have a talk with Slice regarding that? I was trying to investigate that - but found that problem occurs somewhere after clover. And with Slice we confirmed that. I can see two places where it can break - OS level (kernel boot of post-kernel time), or i have other idea - it can be...

Can you describe issues that LPC kext resolved? I'm not complaining anything, really interesting to know. On my laptop with i7 6700HQ and HD530 Sierra works almost perfectly, but yes - DSDT is heavily fixed for everything from graphics to native brightness control. Also AppleBusPowerController...

I know how to load it. Just curious why you are trying to do that. What kind of issues did it resolve for you? Also, do you have AppleBusPowerControllerUSB kext loaded? Are you on Sierra? Let me suppose that your embedded controller ACPI node has name different from "EC"? Something like "ECDV"...

Can you tell me at least one reason to load AppleLPC on Skylake platform? At least one small reason. Apple is not using it on own Skylake machines - but everybody are still crying about it. It is not used anymore.

I found that on laptop IntelBacklight produces some issues. Implemented full brightness control in dsdt and removed IntelBacklight - now sleep-wake works fine and backlight control is much more smooth

I'm on Sierra as well :)

On laptop works just fine :)
