GA-Z170X-UD5 TH USB header and port mapping

[lupo17]

17....
now i'm on 14, since, i've still gave it a try... this is... almost a torture...obsession...whatever... i'm sure i did it right [that line 4 not converting to apfs]... and still there it is the damned apfs... then no sound...no sleep...only cigarettes are running smooth...
i'm reading again... with pencil/paper...then read again...
smth's wrong
anyway...now...this setup is only 4 having a place where to backup the valuables from the main setup [witch i've maneged to break]
.......cold sweat

 

[lupo17]

anyway, the reason i'm here on this thread is that i was hoping to learn how to:
-check the current usb ports map
-pin-point the ones i use
-close/exclude those i don't

i keep seeing successful hackintoshers with long custom boot-flags...but nowhere a consistent guide 4 that
if there is a topic about that, please indicate it...and i must excuse myself...i'm simply exhausted
[and frustrated]

You didn't answer the other important question I ask: Are you using USBinjectAll.kext (and if so, verify that it is loaded)

But, that is all part of your most recent question: ask and you shall receive. This is everything you need to get USB happening.

thank you

well...i red all that ... alien stuff ... no...it's fine... i started understanding at some degree
my luck ... our luck is that Rehabman had that 'NUC6i7KYK' skylake with the same active '8086_a12f' ...let me call it 'hallway' with multiple doors... from witch we must disable [=delete] the ones we don't use...
so...
USBInjectAll.kext enables all of them [usb ports]...and then we have to crop from them [with a custom ssdt] only the ones we use
that makes sense
now
what [in my head] doesn't make sense is this:
if
USBInjectAll.kext enables ALL of them ... and that template [SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl] coincide with USBInjectAll.kext in terms of ports index... why [later, after trimming] we must specify witch port is usb2 or usb3 or internal...as long as we have started from a whole.... as an analogy...if we start from a Universe and we crop out only our solar system, why, then we have to specify extra details regarding the solar system?

...i'll ask him there

You only have to define port types of ports you’re going to use, and I think the type is important for defining USB2 ports (HS) that are on a USB3 header (SS), and internal (non-removable).

Remember to put in the port limit patch in your config.plist or USBInjectAll.kext won’t work properly.

Also, OS X can only properly address 15 of the 26 available ports, so you have to choose 15. (Each usb3 counts as 2 ports)

i see... but... specifying NOW something, could be a limitation in the FUTURE...[auto-limitation] i mean...if a port could function as a usb3, and i define it as usb2, then, tomorrow i won't be able to use it as usb3... the right choice would be to define them according to the producer's [gigabyte] specifications...right ?

ok...from a more practical point of view...did you preserved your SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl after cropping ? could you please share it?...or... i think i could use exactly your resulting ssdt [/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched] since it is the same MB [those you've uploaded here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...r-and-port-mapping.186598/page-2#post-1680369]

you mean
Clover > Custom Flags: uia_exclude=HSxx;[all unused ports] ... ?

LE
no, i'm afraid i can't use yours, since i see you don't use HS09;HS10;HS11;HS12... you have been of a huge help anyway, and i can't thank you enough for that

I actually didn’t trim down my ports, I built it up from nothing, so I don’t have one with all ports defined.

This is the patch to enable all 26 ports (100 series) with usbinjectall

HS09;HS10 are usb2 headers on the MB, I doubt you’re using them too. HS11/12 are on the back beside the ethernet port, I sacrificed them so I could use the top two USB ports (HS13/14) beside the PS/2 port, and all 4 USB3 ports on the back (plus 2 USB3 on the front case from MB header F_USB30_1 (SS05/06)

well...it's done! ... i've trimmed them to 15ports, confirmed by IORegistryExplorer...
but don't congratulate me, 'cause i'm exactly as before ... shutdown>restarts [even tho i've checked 'fix shutdown'>ACPI]...sleeps for 2sec [after wake, no sound] ...
the only plus is that after wake the display doesn't show large square puzzle anymore...but that could be because of SMBIOS>14,2 [i'll try 17,1...but that implies lilu.kext afaik]

if you have any more ideas ...please let me know
