Just to confirm, the "visibility" of available Big Sur updates depends on the SIP setting which in turn is controlled by the contents of
csr-active-config in opencore --> NVRAM --> Add --> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -->csr-active-config.
csr-active-config=00000000 SIP fully on, updates will show if available.
csr-active-config=ff0f0000 SIP fully off, updates will NOT show if available.
For the time being I prefer leaving SIP off with csr-active-config=ff0f0000
Every now and then I just set SIP on, with csr-active-config=00000000, to test whether Big Sur updates are seeded by Apple.
The switching between the 2 SIP states would normally require NVRAM resets, but rather cumbersome and not necessary if one adds an entry into
opencore --> NVRAM -->Delete-->7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82-->1=car-active-config
With this small addition you can change the Big Sur SIP environment by merely placing the desired value into csr-active-config, then reboot and you are golden, no need for a NVRAM reset at all.
Just for completeness, this I picked up from another site but cannot remember anymore wherefrom which unfortunately means that I cannot credit the original author who published this initially - sorry mate - if you discover yourself here.
A picture is always worth a thousand words, enjoy or destroy.
