[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

Because you're switching between GC-Alpine Ridge and GC-Titan Ridge -- both of which are Thunderbolt 3 with USB-C ports -- it is okay to use the same SSDT.

However, @rj510 found a possible issue when the modified firmware is used in GC-Titan Ridge. Specifically, device DSB2, which holds the USB XHC controller, might be defined with an incorrect device-id. Instead of 0x15EC, it might be exposing itself as 0x15EA.

I have already added this to my to-do list for the evening. If true, it might explain why none of us is seeing the full set of XHC ports under DSB2.RHUB. (P.S. "none of us is seeing" is grammatically correct.)

Your SSDT-TBOLT3 contains a few elements that should be removed from NHI0._DSM method. Probably good to use DSM's original SSDT-TBOLT3 and make the RP21-related changes until I can do some more homework on this.
UPDATE:
  • DSB2 is correctly identifying itself as Device-ID 0x15EA.
  • Device-ID 0x15EC is the XHC controller, which is a sub-device of DSB2.

This will not work at all :)

@CaseySJ Check if your ThunderboltConfig value is correctly when using the Titan Ridge PCIe.

Hi @CaseySJ

Just another thumbs up as to this build and your continued support for it! Truly enjoyed this build for well over a year or so, then I messed something up (as well as the bootable backup), but now that I've just finished reinstalling Mojave, Logic, FCPX, etc, just wanted to share my gratitude and appreciation for everything you did here! Incredibly much appreciated!

After further tests with the GC-Titan Ridge running DSM2.Hackintosh firmware on Z390 Designare, it seems USB ports only turn on when a USB device is connected to them during boot. On the other hand, Thunderbolt devices only connect when hot-plugged.
 
@CaseySJ has anyone gotten their hands on one of these?


edit: I have no idea what Ridge this would be. Nonetheless, I'm curious to how native it behaves.

I dont think that card adds Thunderbolt to a computer, but rather upgrades a thunderbolt chassis to support Thunderbolt 3

Casey,

I'm Enabling Native NVRAM on my system.

When I "Remove Clover RC scripts (if installed) by typing these commands in Terminal: (be very careful)"
the terminal comes back at me with "File not found" on all of the RC Scripts. Must I change directory in the terminal before executing those commands? If so to what volume and directory? I'm certain the RC Scripts are installed on my system. There's not a clear explanation of removing these RC SCRIPTS that I could find anywhere.

Also, if I have been successful, will the "nvram.plist" file reappear in my EFI Partition after I've deleted it?

Thanks for your guidance.
 
Hey @CaseySJ , thanks for you advice. I have a problem at the step 3 of the Catalina back-up, I put the terminal notes in attached files. Could you help me ? I don't see the step with the log messages...
