Hey
@djashjones,
So I'm a newbie, I've been following this thread setting up my ASUS H370-I ITX like yours. I have an i7-8700, and integrated graphics. Can I just take a moment to thank you for sharing your experience - I too bought this board from the buyer's guide, expecting it to 'just work', but have had nothing but problems, and can't find any decent info for installing macOS on this board.
Okay, here's what I've done so far:
- Created Mojave 10.14.2 installer and used your 'EFI - install' on my USB. Mojave installed fine (it wouldn't install before I tried your EFI).
- On first proper boot to the macOS desktop, About This Mac says it's an iMac 27-inch, late 2013 (iMac 14,2). Graphics working fine on the DisplayPort, multiple USB ports working, Ethernet working. Party time.
- I used Multibeast to make the changes you suggested (Audio, Network & SMBIOS to iMac 18,2) - I didn't make any other changes listed in your post #3, I'll admit I don't understand how to do half of them! So I rebooted and have
only one USB port working, and a ton of graphical glitches and heavy flickering.
- I installed your 'EFI - post', which didn't have a noticeable effect...
- I put your SSDT-UIAC.aml file into EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched, but still, just one USB port working.
I briefly read through the thread you linked on how to make a custom USB SSDT, but I've not done that myself as I thought your file would work for me, given it's for an identical motherboard. Am I correct in thinking that? If I'm happy with the ports you've chosen to enable?
Any suggestions? Or should I just compile my own SSDT?
I'm not sure what made the USB ports all work the first time, I'm not sure if the EFI had something to do with it. I'm aware there's a USBInjectAll.kext but I've not tried it. That post warns against it anyway.
I've just used Multibeast to set SMBIOS to iMac 14,2 again, and after rebooting the graphics are fine again - might stick with that for now, it's a lot more usable. But it's done nothing for the USB issue!
TIA for any help !
