<< Solved >> Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH + Big Sur + Open Core 0.7.2

[MisterPants]

I'm "converting" my old High Sierra clover build to Big Sur on OpenCore 0.7.2. I can get into the installer just fine, but mouse and keyboard aren't working. I understand this is an issue with USB mapping, but maybe I'm totally wrong.

My build:

• Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH
• Core i7-6700K
• Radeon RX-580
• 64GB Ram
• Unico Bluetooth Adapter (Cambridge Silicon Radio, not Broadcom but Handoff, Airdrop, etc all work fine in High Sierra)
• TP-Link T9E Wifi card
• Samsing 850 Pro 1TB (Boot)
• Samsung 950 Pro NVME
• Samsung 870 Pro 4TB

I went through the guide for USBMap (https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap), but if I enable USBMap in config.plist I am unable to get to OpenCore's picker after rebooting. I'd attach a picture but it'd just be a black screen.

EFI attached for reference.

Appreciate any pointers as this is above my pay grade. The only guides or posts I can find that use the same mobo only discuss Catalina.

Thanks!

I have your exact motherboard and I recently switched to OpenCore and then upgraded to Big Sur. Some time ago I had used Hackintool to create USBPorts.kext, so I used this with my OC setup and it works fine to map the USB ports in OC/Big Sur.

Thanks, I was able to get it to work with USBMap!
