@gaf00tas What exactly would you like to know? I'd be glad to help but please be more specific.

This is a guide for El Capitan. If you are looking for Sierra help then use the appropriate section of the forum:

In the end, you should have the following:

• The APIC patch for the beginning in KextsToPatch in EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
• The USBInjectAll kext in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/...
• A SSDT-USB.aml in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ to configure the correct ports for your motherboard
• If you have more than 15 total USB entries in the SSDT, a boot argument to disable some of them so the total is 15 or fewer. This should probably be in Boot/Arguments in EFI/CLOVER/config.plist

Hi,

Thank you for this guide. I made it over here through your 10.11.4+ guide. I am currently running 10.11.6

I've gone through this guide quite extensively for my z17x UD5th.
Did recommended clover patches and kexts.
Mapped USB ports and USB 3.0 ports and created ssdt-usb.
Disabled unused ports bringing total to 14 with boot arguments.
All usb 2.0 are working great. All 14 active ports showing up at expected in ioReg.

Having an issue where the system will only mount (and supply power) to one USB3.0 drive of the 4 I have. Additional drives will not mount or will report "USB NEEDS POWER"

Would welcome any suggestions?

Great guide. Thank you

ammulder: Thanks for doing this article. I just got done using it to do my USB ports the right way.

ammulder. Great write up. I'm trying to get my GA-Z170X-UD5 motherboard running on USB "the right way". I am trying to do a as complete as possible Clover only build, without third party kexts. I'm running Sierra 10.12.1, and I know this thread is aimed at El Capitan, but I still want to get the USB.asl built. I've got the port limit raised, and 26 ports are showing up. I can now plug devices into the ports, and they work, but in IORegistryExplorer, I am not getting the "tick" next to the devices when plugged in. Any suggestions?

ammulder, I was finally able to figure this part out. The wedges do not show up on Sierra (from what I've seen), but when you plug in a USB device, the port-status under the port you are viewing will change from 0x0 to 0x1300 or 0x1100, depending on what type of port it is, and probably other variables (type of device, etc). This solves part of my issue.

The other issue I'm having is there are two other ports on the back of my motherboard that don't seem to show up under XHC. I know I've seen a reference, but I just can't find it. The two ports are a USB 3.1 port, and a USB-C port. Any ideas where to look for these, and would the SSDT injection work for these as well?

Thanks!

pastrychef, if one is to use the SSDT in the above post, does one have to not use the MultiBeast USB options? Please elaborate. TIA.
