Sorry, I overlooked that my patched SSDTs start from SSDT-1. I already have the patched DSDT and SSDTs in the /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/ folder in the EFI partition. Should this additional SSDT be renamed to SSDT-9 since the last SSDT I have is SSDT-8.aml or just be added as SSDT.aml. I ask this question because I don't know if adding it just like that would result in it getting dropped or not.

The name doesn't matter. Whatever name you choose must be in SortedOrder.

It was mentioned in your guide that all SSDTs reference each other and are dependent on each other.

Can be true of OEM SSDTs (and thus patched OEM SSDTs), but not necessarily true of add-on SSDTs.

This is the SGOF definition:
Code: 
        Method (SGOF, 0, Serialized)
        {
            If (LEqual (CCHK (Zero), Zero))
            {
                Return (Zero)
            }

            Store (Zero, ONOF)
            Store (LCTL, ELCT)
            Store (SVID, HVID)
            Store (SDID, HDID)
            Store (LREN, LTRE)
            Store (One, LNKD)
            While (LNotEqual (LNKS, Zero))
            {
                Sleep (One)
            }

            SGPO (HLRS, One)
            SGPO (PWEN, Zero)
            Return (Zero)
        }

It does not seem to be calling any EC method.

Calls SGPO, so you'll need to look at that method too.

How can I test whether the EC method is being called or not? Isn't it enough that it is within the method although in an "if" block?

You would need to use ACPIDebug to verify code path.

Hello RehabMan! A Happy New Year to you. It's been a while since your last post to this thread. I was trying to implement power management as well as disable discrete graphics. The motive to accomplish both is to get my sleep working (which still doesn't work properly yet). I have divided the post into two sections for your convenience.

Implementing Power Management

I added the generated SSDT.aml from ssdtPRGen.sh to my patched ACPI files. I tested it with AppleIntelInfo.kext.

Here is the output:
Code: 
bash-3.2$ sudo cat /tmp/AppleIntelInfo.dat

I have made sure that hibernation (suspend to disk or S4 sleep) is disabled.

Is power management implemented now?

Disabling nVidia Graphics

Before going any further into code investigation here, I found _OFF and _INI methods both in SSDT-6 and in SSDT-8. Should I look for EC methods in the _OFF methods of both the SSDTs.

_OFF method in SSDT-6:
Code: 
            Method (_OFF, 0, Serialized)  // _OFF: Power Off
            {
                If (LEqual (TDGC, One))
                {
                    CreateField (TGPC, Zero, 0x03, GUPC)
                    If (LEqual (ToInteger (GUPC), One))
                    {
                        \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.GC6I ()
                        Store (Zero, _STA)
                    }
                    Else
                    {
                        If (LEqual (ToInteger (GUPC), 0x02))
                        {
                            \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.GC6I ()
                            Store (Zero, _STA)
                        }
                    }
                }
                Else
                {
                    \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.SGOF ()
                    Store (Zero, _STA)
                }
            }

_OFF method in SSDT-8:
Code: 
        Method (_OFF, 0, Serialized)  // _OFF: Power Off
        {
            If (LNotEqual (GPRF, One))
            {
                If (LEqual (CTXT, Zero))
                {
                    Store (PCIC, BUF1)
                    Store (GMM1, BUF2)
                    Store (GMM2, BUF3)
                    Store (GMM3, BUF4)
                    Store (GIO1, BUF5)
                    Store (GIRQ, BUF6)
                    Store (SID, BUF7)
                    Store (One, CTXT)
                }
            }

            SGOF ()
        }

\_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.GC6I in SSDT-8:
Code: 
        Method (GC6I, 0, Serialized)
        {
            Store ("<<< GC6I >>>", Debug)
            \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC.ECNV (Zero)
            Sleep (0x0A)
            Store (LREN, LTRE)
            Store (One, \_SB.PCI0.RP05.LNKD)
        }

\_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.SGOF in SSDT-6 looks like this:
Code: 
        Method (SGOF, 0, Serialized)
        {
            If (LEqual (CCHK (Zero), Zero))
            {
                Return (Zero)
            }

            Store (Zero, ONOF)
            Store (LCTL, ELCT)
            Store (SVID, HVID)
            Store (SDID, HDID)
            Store (LREN, LTRE)
            Store (One, LNKD)
            While (LNotEqual (LNKS, Zero))
            {
                Sleep (One)
            }

            SGPO (HLRS, One)
            SGPO (PWEN, Zero)
            Return (Zero)
        }

And SGPO also in SSDT-6 looks like this:
Code: 
        Method (SGPO, 2, Serialized)
        {
            If (And (SGMD, 0x0F))
            {
                If (LEqual (SGGP, One))
                {
                    ShiftRight (Arg0, 0x07, Local1)
                    And (Arg0, 0x7F, Arg0)
                    If (LEqual (Local1, Zero))
                    {
                        Not (Arg1, Arg1)
                    }

                    And (Arg1, One, Arg1)
                    If (LLessEqual (Arg0, 0x5E))
                    {
                        Store (Add (Add (\GBAS, 0x0100), Multiply (Arg0, 0x08)), Local0)
                        OperationRegion (LGPI, SystemIO, Local0, 0x08)
                        Field (LGPI, ByteAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
                        {
                                ,   31, 
                            TEMP,   1
                        }

                        Store (Arg1, TEMP)
                    }
                }
            }
        }

The _INI method in the two SSDTs look like this:

_INI method from SSDT-6:
Code: 
        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._ADR)
        }


_INI method from SSDT-8:
Code: 
        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (DID1, Index (TLPK, Zero))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x02))
            Store (DID3, Index (TLPK, 0x04))
            Store (DID4, Index (TLPK, 0x06))
            Store (DID5, Index (TLPK, 0x08))
            Store (DID6, Index (TLPK, 0x0A))
            Store (DID7, Index (TLPK, 0x0C))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x0E))
            Store (DID1, Index (TLPK, 0x0F))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x11))
            Store (DID3, Index (TLPK, 0x12))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x14))
            Store (DID4, Index (TLPK, 0x15))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x17))
            Store (DID5, Index (TLPK, 0x18))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x1A))
            Store (DID6, Index (TLPK, 0x1B))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x1D))
            Store (DID7, Index (TLPK, 0x1E))
        }

Also, there are several _REG methods in DSDT, which one should I add the omitted EC line from the GC6I method to?

Looking forward to hear from you.

Hello RehabMan! A Happy New Year to you. It's been a while since your last post to this thread. I was trying to implement power management as well as disable discrete graphics. The motive to accomplish both is to get my sleep working (which still doesn't work properly yet). I have divided the post into two sections for your convenience.

Implementing Power Management

I added the generated SSDT.aml from ssdtPRGen.sh to my patched ACPI files. I tested it with AppleIntelInfo.kext.

Here is the output:

I have made sure that hibernation (suspend to disk or S4 sleep) is disabled.

Is power management implemented now?

Disabling nVidia Graphics

Before going any further into code investigation here, I found _OFF and _INI methods both in SSDT-6 and in SSDT-8. Should I look for EC methods in the _OFF methods of both the SSDTs.

_OFF method in SSDT-6:
Code: 
            Method (_OFF, 0, Serialized)  // _OFF: Power Off
            {
                If (LEqual (TDGC, One))
                {
                    CreateField (TGPC, Zero, 0x03, GUPC)
                    If (LEqual (ToInteger (GUPC), One))
                    {
                        \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.GC6I ()
                        Store (Zero, _STA)
                    }
                    Else
                    {
                        If (LEqual (ToInteger (GUPC), 0x02))
                        {
                            \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.GC6I ()
                            Store (Zero, _STA)
                        }
                    }
                }
                Else
                {
                    \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.SGOF ()
                    Store (Zero, _STA)
                }
            }

_OFF method in SSDT-8:
Code: 
        Method (_OFF, 0, Serialized)  // _OFF: Power Off
        {
            If (LNotEqual (GPRF, One))
            {
                If (LEqual (CTXT, Zero))
                {
                    Store (PCIC, BUF1)
                    Store (GMM1, BUF2)
                    Store (GMM2, BUF3)
                    Store (GMM3, BUF4)
                    Store (GIO1, BUF5)
                    Store (GIRQ, BUF6)
                    Store (SID, BUF7)
                    Store (One, CTXT)
                }
            }

            SGOF ()
        }

\_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.GC6I in SSDT-8:
Code: 
        Method (GC6I, 0, Serialized)
        {
            Store ("<<< GC6I >>>", Debug)
            \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC.ECNV (Zero)
            Sleep (0x0A)
            Store (LREN, LTRE)
            Store (One, \_SB.PCI0.RP05.LNKD)
        }

\_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.SGOF in SSDT-6 looks like this:
Code: 
        Method (SGOF, 0, Serialized)
        {
            If (LEqual (CCHK (Zero), Zero))
            {
                Return (Zero)
            }

            Store (Zero, ONOF)
            Store (LCTL, ELCT)
            Store (SVID, HVID)
            Store (SDID, HDID)
            Store (LREN, LTRE)
            Store (One, LNKD)
            While (LNotEqual (LNKS, Zero))
            {
                Sleep (One)
            }

            SGPO (HLRS, One)
            SGPO (PWEN, Zero)
            Return (Zero)
        }

And SGPO also in SSDT-6 looks like this:
Code: 
        Method (SGPO, 2, Serialized)
        {
            If (And (SGMD, 0x0F))
            {
                If (LEqual (SGGP, One))
                {
                    ShiftRight (Arg0, 0x07, Local1)
                    And (Arg0, 0x7F, Arg0)
                    If (LEqual (Local1, Zero))
                    {
                        Not (Arg1, Arg1)
                    }

                    And (Arg1, One, Arg1)
                    If (LLessEqual (Arg0, 0x5E))
                    {
                        Store (Add (Add (\GBAS, 0x0100), Multiply (Arg0, 0x08)), Local0)
                        OperationRegion (LGPI, SystemIO, Local0, 0x08)
                        Field (LGPI, ByteAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
                        {
                                ,   31, 
                            TEMP,   1
                        }

                        Store (Arg1, TEMP)
                    }
                }
            }
        }

The _INI method in the two SSDTs look like this:

_INI method from SSDT-6:
Code: 
        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._ADR)
        }


_INI method from SSDT-8:
Code: 
        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (DID1, Index (TLPK, Zero))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x02))
            Store (DID3, Index (TLPK, 0x04))
            Store (DID4, Index (TLPK, 0x06))
            Store (DID5, Index (TLPK, 0x08))
            Store (DID6, Index (TLPK, 0x0A))
            Store (DID7, Index (TLPK, 0x0C))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x0E))
            Store (DID1, Index (TLPK, 0x0F))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x11))
            Store (DID3, Index (TLPK, 0x12))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x14))
            Store (DID4, Index (TLPK, 0x15))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x17))
            Store (DID5, Index (TLPK, 0x18))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x1A))
            Store (DID6, Index (TLPK, 0x1B))
            Store (DID2, Index (TLPK, 0x1D))
            Store (DID7, Index (TLPK, 0x1E))
        }

Also, there are several _REG methods in DSDT, which one should I add the omitted EC line from the GC6I method to?

Looking forward to hear from you.

There can be only one _OFF method for the discrete device. You're probably not looking at it correctly...

Also, same goes for _REG for EC. There is only one.

Please note that FakePCIID_BCM94352Z_as_BCM94360CS2.kext and FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext are from a different version of FakePCIID than FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext. Bad idea to mix kexts like that. Delete all FakePCIID kexts and install a matched set by downloading the current version.

Bad idea to rename SSDTs. Keep original names from ACPI/origin. You should have:
SSDT.aml (from ssdtPRgen.sh)
SSDT-0.aml
SSDT-1.aml
SSDT-2.aml
SSDT-6.aml
SSDT-7.aml
SSDT-8.aml
SSDT-9.aml
SSDT-10.aml

in ACPI/patched when done.

The _OFF method is in SSDT-10.aml (the _OFF in SSDT-8.aml should be ignored as it is in a PowerResource macro). _INI is in SSDT-8.aml.

Your ACPI has no EmbeddedControl, no EC... therefore no concern over EC related code and _REG.

Note: Apply only one "OS Check Fix"... You will need custom hand-edits in OSID.

So, I do not need to remove any EC related code from the _OFF method or it's sub methods, neither do I have to add it to _REG. I only have to call the _OFF method from the _INI method in SSDT-8 as an external method to disable discrete graphics, right?

Also, is native power management implemented now?

The hand-edit to the OSID, how should I go about it?

Correct. Your computer doesn't use an EmbeddedControl region.

Also, is native power management implemented now?

In ioreg, it appeared as such.

Add a case for _OSI("Darwin")

Like this?
Code:

What version of Windows does 0x07DE correspond to?

Show your intention, in detail. Unpatched method + patched method.
