[Guide] 10.11+ USB changes and solutions

[rastan]

You are using the wrong version of MaciASL. My guide links the correct version...

Thanks again, I corrected my error and now all the SSDTs compile fine. Only exception is my DSDT, it is untouched from F4 but has 5 errors in it that I don't know by now how to deal with them. But it feels good to have my own ACPI stuff now thanks to your guide.

Proper disassembly is important. Make sure you used refs.txt and disassembled with the SSDTs as context as per guide.

It's not a laptop issue, but this thread is the most comprehensive guide I found about USB issues on recent OS X.

Hi Rehabman,

Thanks very much for this guide! I'm trying to get usb 3.0 to work properly on my 10.12 install.
I'm trying my best to fully comprehend your guide, but I'm a little lost, so I'm hoping you can help me out.
First of all, my specs:
Gigabyte x99 ud4, i7 5820k, Nvidia 730GT, 16 GB Corsair RAM, 120 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD.

This is where I got so far, following your recommendations for 8/9/x99 boards:

I've got 2 out of 4 usb3.0 ports working correctly, all of my usb2.0 ports work as well.
The other two usb3.0 ports show up as 2.0,

I've got this to work as described using EHC1>EH01 and EHC2>EH02 patch in config.plist + FakePCIID and FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext.

I've tried looking at this from IOReg (attached).
As far as I can see, the 4 usb 3 ports should be at SSP1@14f00000, SSP2@15000000, SSP3@15100000, SSP4@15200000.
All 4 say 0x3 at UsbConnector, which I think means they're readable, right?

The two ports that work show up at SSP3@15100000 and SSP4@15200000,
The ones that are seen as usb 2.0 show up at EH01. (in the attached file my USB stick shows up at PR15@1d1500000)

I really don't know what this actually means and what I should do to next, so I'm hoping you've got a clue for me. Please let me know if you need more info!

Thanks, Jasper

The port limit patch is only for short-term use. Use it only to determine which ports you need to inject. Then create custom SSDT.

No need to inject all the HSxx ports when you're using FakePCIID_XHCIMux. Use -uia_exclude_hs, so you don't need the port limit patch.

 

[Leonel]

Create custom SSDT to configure USBInjectAll.kext such that only the ports you need are injected with the correct UsbConnector value. Refer to the examples and SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl.

what example ?
thanks

 

[RehabMan]

what example ?
thanks

Many examples at my github repo. Search for UIAC in the *.dsl files for almost any computer specific guide there (ProBook, BRIX, NUC, Envy, u430, y50 etc.)
