2 Big Issues with Alder Lake (i5 12400F) on macOS Sonoma

Hello

I have installed macOS Sonoma on the following hardware:

• Motherboard: Gigabyte B760M Gaming X DDR4
• CPU: Intel Core i5 12400F
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200 Mhz
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX5700
• WiFi: ABWB 802.11 AC WI-FI + Bluetooth 4.0 PCI-Express (PCI-E) BCM94360CS2

Everything is working quite well overall. I've injected PCI information, performed USB mapping (both manually and with USBToolbox), created some SSDTs following the OpenCore Guide using the manual method, and others using SSDTTime (AWAC, HPET). However, I have two significant issues with my Hackintosh:

1st Issue:

Sleep: Although I've set the internal USB header where the Bluetooth card is connected to "Internal," my Hackintosh has a problem where it won't go to sleep properly. It briefly enters sleep mode but is instantly awakened. I was able to pinpoint the problem more precisely:
I've now done USB mapping in three different ways:

• 1x Manually:

As described in the OpenCore Guide (had to include SSDT-RHUB, as otherwise my USB 3.0 devices weren't recognized during mapping). I have used IOReg to map the ports and the ports seem to work fine under macOS.

After creating the USB-Map.kext, I have removed SSDT-RHUB.aml and kept the USB-Map.kext.


Bluetooth PCIe card is on Port HS07 -> set to "Internal." But the Bluetooth USB Header for the PCIe Card appears under a USB 2.0 Hub.


What I found particularly interesting is that it seems like four ports on the back of my PC are connected through a USB hub on my motherboard. Whenever I connect a device to one of these four ports, it gets assigned to the same port "HS05" and is listed under the individual AppleUSB20HubPort:



IOREG of the ports using my manually created USBMap.kext:


System Profiler:

My question: Do I need to map something individually for these ports, or is it okay as is? I don't know how I could map them otherwise since they seem to be connected to a USB Hub (even the Gigabyte Motherboard manual states that these ports are connected via a USB 2.0 Hub)

I've also mapped this strange "ITE Device" as "Internal" since it's likely internal to the motherboard (I don't have any other devices connected via USB 2.0 except the Bluetooth USB header for the BT/WiFi PCIe card or USB 3.0 header on the motherboard. I only use the rear IO USB ports and the one USB header on the motherboard for the WiFi/Bluetooth PCIe card).


I also tried to create a USB Map using USBToolbox but I still have the same problem as with my manually created USBMap.kext


When I put it to sleep, it wakes up immediately. I could solve the whole problem with the SSDT-GPRW.aml, but then the wake via USB doesn't work (which is understandable since this .aml disables USB). I can only wake it using the power button. I could identify the problem: when I disconnect the USB header from the WiFi/USB PCIe card, sleep works perfectly. Therefore, my suspicion is that there might be some issue with the USB mapping. I can't say what the problem is, as the ports, which are not on the rear IO, are mapped as "Internal." My suspicion is that the Bluetooth USB host controller isn't directly attached to the port, and there's a USB 2.0 hub in between, but that's just a vague guess...


2nd Issue:

I am an Android developer, or cross-platform developer, and I need Android Studio and Android emulators. However, I can't use Android x86_64 images with qemu on the Hackintosh because I only get a black screen on the emulator, and the device doesn't work. The x86 Android images work flawlessly, but the highest Android version you can use as an x86 image is Android 11, which is outdated for my testing purposes. Does anyone know how to resolve this? AppleVTD and DMAC work on my Hackintosh (Docker and iOS emulator work, by the way).


Does anyone possibly know what I might have done wrong here?

My current SSDTs are:

Did you solve the sleep issue?

I am looking at the i5 12400 CPU for a microATX build and would be interested in your comments about this processor. TIA/

Regarding the sleep issue in Sonoma, check this out: https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/issues/937

Sorry for the late reply, I ended up buying different hardware and switched to a build with an I9 10900 + ASRock Z390M Pro. Sleep works perfectly fine on that hardware + I have no problems when it comes to Android Studio and XCode.

Best regards

A misleading thread, especially given the title.

The USB issue is a function of the B760 not the i5-12400F.

For those reading this thread because they have a Gigabyte B760M Gaming X DDR4 motherboard, then you have two USB2 hubs onboard. One feeds the four black USB2 ports on the back panel and the other the four internal ports on the two 9-pin headers. If your wireless card BT feed is connected to one of the internal ports then nothing should be connected to the onther three.

Interesting point made about the AirportItlwm Alpha kext though, if you have an Intel chipset wireless.

As for the Android emulator. As we haven't seen the EFI involved it's hard to diagnose.

I still have the EFI folder on GitHub if you want to take a look at it. Feel free to test it

I can't really test it because I dont have the hardware anymore.
