<< Solved >> Gigabyte Z270 gaming 7 - USB mapping

[photom]

Hey Hackintosh friends,

This is my first post here so if I make any mistakes or not provide all info needed - please do let me know. This is my first hackintosh project that I have ever done. I am a complete beginner.

The build was successful, but one thing that does not work as it should are the USB ports on my motherboard: Gigabyte Z270 gaming 7 - one of the ports does not work at all and the rest of the ports does work properly. Those working ports do not have enough power, because when I plug in a CD/DVD { SuperDrive from Apple } I am getting a warning saying that the drive needs more power.

Any help would be great!

Thanks @P1LGRIM this looks complicated, but I will give it a go.

If you use iMac18,3 as SMBIOS, try using this kext. Do not use it with another USB injector.
Because of USB power, I'll give you an SSDT later.

Hey Wern. Which kext? I do not see any files. Have you not attached it?

Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to upload the kext. Here it is.

@wern thank you very much! Much appreciated. I would be grateful for the SSDT file :}

Here is the SSDT, but ATM for testing purposes only, because you get random kernel panics on startup. Strangely, it works with "keepsyms=1". If it does not start, press space and select Keep symbols on panic.

Thanks @wern I will give this a go.

@wern I have added the SSDT file to ACPI → PATCHED - do I need to add anything to CLOVER in order for this thing to be loaded { I know it is a lame question - but this is completely new to me }. Thanks.
