Generating ssdt for GA-Z170N-WIFI/I7 6700k/Sierra warnings and errors

[locmer]

GA-Z170N-WIFI 2.0 - 32 Gb - I7 6700k - EVGA GTX 750TI 2 Gb - Sierra 10.12.3

Setting up my new customac and it is going well (I'll publish full details when finished). 2 remaining issues,
1. no audio after sleep/wake.(Still working on it)
2. Errors when generating ssdt file (that is what this thread is for)

I ignored them on the same board with a Core i7-6700 and I am able to use the SSDT. I didn't really see much change in the number of P-States, but YMMV.

Looking forward to your guide; I'm struggling with my build hibernating and then looping endlessly. Curious to see your Clover config once you've finished.

I have followed this recommendation:

Warning: 'cpu-type' may be set improperly (0x0705 instead of 0x0905)

And updated the cpu-type with 0x905 with the Clover Configurator and it caused the machine to become very unstable, Safari and other application would not start anymore. So I think this must not be correct or I wasn't doing the change correctly.

Ah...seems to be an known and unresolved issue: https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh/issues/289

My read of issue 289 is that Piker knows there's a data error in his current build... and he intends to fix it.

I did not interpret the warning to mean that I should change the cpu-type.

Hi, I'm looking forward to the guide too. I have the same board (rev 1.0), and I have most things working, however I can't get all the USB ports to work correctly. They mostly work, but some stop working when I plug in extra devices. I have tried to decipher this post: [Guide] 10.11+ USB changes and solutions however I can't quite figure out what I'm supposed to do.

On another note, when I run ssdtPRGen.sh I do not get the second error you get about the board ID, I think it's because I'm using the iMAc 17,1 definitions which I read are better for Skylake processors.

 

[hackNneddy]

Ok, so I think I have my USB drives working after a punishing few hours...

I followed this guide to create the SSDT to activate the correct USB ports: [Guide] Creating a Custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext
And this guide for the general USB setup: [Guide] 10.11+ USB changes and solutions

After (attempting) to get my head around everything in those guides I generated an SSDT for my motherboard: GA-Z170N-WIFI(Rev 1.0) which I'll attach below.

If anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer them.

Awesome that you're sharing this!

Do you think the rev 2.0 board will be different than the rev 1.0 board you have?

I'm just guessing here(and I'm a relatively new Hackintosh user), but I think it would be the same. My ports were in chronological order, and I'm guessing yours will be the same. I don't think it could hurt to try. Maybe just install the USBInjectAll.kext and the SSDT I created for the USBs and see if all your ports work. As a side note, the SSDT I created disables the onboard bluetooth.

Once I deciphered the guides above, it was actually not too difficult to generate the SSDT for our motherboards. If you, or anyone else would like a little step by step guide of what my process was, I could put one together. Just let me know.

Cheers.

I think a guide would be very helpful - for me at least.

I swapped out the Intel wifi/bt adapter that came with our boards and put in a BCM94360CS2 (MacBook Air 802.11ac) and an adapter card - can you summarize how you disabled the Intel card? I don't want to do that with the new card I put in obv.

thanks @hackNneddy
