[Guide] Creating a Custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext

It appears you have EH02 disabled in BIOS.
It does not appear in ioreg or in misc/preboot.log (under GetDevices).
OK! My mistake, the previous debug files were collected with XHCI enable.
The new one is XHCI smart auto, EH02 enabled but still nothing attached to it. All my internal and external USB 2.0 ports are not functional.
If I plug keyboard and trackpad into USB 2.0 ports, they works at clover boot screen but failed after boot into OSX login screen.
Any suggestion? Thanks!

Now proceed with the guide in post #1. Please note that FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext requires FakePCIID.kext.

If I am right, in front panel:
HP15: USB2 top right
HP16: USB2 bottom right
SS03: dual USB3 left
in rear panel:
HP13/SS04: USB3 rear top left
HP14/SS04:USB3 rear top right
HP21:USB2 middle rear right
HP22:USB2 middle rear left
HP23/SS04:USB3 rear bottom left
HP24/SS04:USB rear bottom right
I created two models of custom usbinjectall.kext: SS03 and SS04 as internal hub:connector type=255 or USB3:connector type=3
Code:
//
// This SSDT can be used as a template to build your own
// customization for USBInjectAll.kext.
//
// This SSDT contains all ports, so using it is the same as without
// a custom SSDT.  Delete ports that are not connected or ports you
// do not need.
//
// Change the UsbConnector or portType as needed to match your
// actual USB configuration.
//
// Note:
// portType=0 seems to indicate normal external USB2 port (as seen in MacBookPro8,1)
// portType=2 seems to indicate "internal device" (as seen in MacBookPro8,1)
// portType=4 is used by MacBookPro8,3 (reason/purpose unknown)

Hi,

I m using Asus VI impact (Intel 8 series) with : 6 USB 3.0/2.0 and 4 USB 2.0.
If i understood correctly, i can not go above 15 USB on XHC with intel 8 series.
Can i put the remaining port on EH01 ?

Thanks

FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext can be used to route USB2 pins from XHC to EH0x.
 
OK! My mistake, the previous debug files were collected with XHCI enable.
The new one is XHCI smart auto, EH02 enabled but still nothing attached to it. All my internal and external USB 2.0 ports are not functional.
If I plug keyboard and trackpad into USB 2.0 ports, they works at clover boot screen but failed after boot into OSX login screen.
Any suggestion? Thanks!

With EHCI controllers enabled (xHCI="auto" or "smart auto"), you will probably need FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext.
Also, you will not want to be disabling EHCI controllers (eg. SSDT-DEH01.aml is nonsense in that scenario).
 
If I am right, in front panel:
HP15: USB2 top right
HP16: USB2 bottom right
SS03: dual USB3 left
in rear panel:
HP13/SS04: USB3 rear top left
HP14/SS04:USB3 rear top right
HP21:USB2 middle rear right
HP22:USB2 middle rear left
HP23/SS04:USB3 rear bottom left
HP24/SS04:USB rear bottom right
I created two models of custom usbinjectall.kext: SS03 and SS04 as internal hub:connector type=255 or USB3:connector type=3
Code:
//

I am wondering if it is correct? Thanks!

I cannot provide any advice without problem reporting files as requested in post #1.
You didn't attach anything.
 
Just wanted to pass along, what I believe is a successful implementation of this guide. I've been analyzing the thread for a few months prior to my recent build.

Updated USB Port Mapping
  • Originally tried this guide - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/254559/
    • To be honest, didn't really know what I was doing
    • If you check the thread, I was having multiple issues
    • Eventually scrapped it
  • Followed this guide - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-creating-a-custom-ssdt-for-usbinjectall-kext.211311/
    • Not as painful as you think - start to finish about 3 hours
    • Requirements, I added EHC1, EHC2 and 2 versions of XHCI renames (had to search for these) to Clover
    • Ensure you put USBInjectAll.kext into S/L/E --> didn't do this at first
    • Added XHCI-unsupported kext into S/L/E
    • Syntax is really important when performing the -uia excludes and includes
      • -uia_exclude_hs uia_include=HS04
      • -uia_exclude_ss uia_exclude=USR1,USR2
    • Plugged in the various USB2 and USB3 devices (see ioreg screen shots)
    • XHC Device ID = <6d a3 00 00
    • Created SSDT-UIAC.aml and put in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched (see attached file)
    • Restarted and checked all of my USB ports in System Information and all ports are functioning as designed
    • Due to the 15 port limit, I did not load HS07,08 USB2 so I could get USB3 values for SS07,08
    • On this last bullet, I've created a few different versions of the SSDT-UIAC. I'm attaching v3 which removes HS07 and HS08

  • Top of case = USB2 and USB3
  • Back Top (a ports) = USB2, can recognize USB3 devices at 480 Mb/sec
  • Back Middle Blue (e ports) = USB3 only, turned off HS07 and HS08

  • HS10 - back, top, left, usb2, usb3 (480 Mb/sec)
  • HS11
  • HS12 - internal, Bluetooth hub
  • HS13
  • HS14
  • USR1
  • SS01 - middle red, right, USB3
  • SS02 -
  • SS03 - top case, right, USB3
  • SS04 - top case, left, USB3
  • SS05 - back, lower blue, left, USB3
  • SS06 - back, lower blue, right, USB3
  • SS07 - back, middle blue, left, USB3
  • SS08 - back, middle blue, right, USB3
  • USR1 -
  • USR2 -
I'm marking USB as working!

I have Asus X299-A Prime motherboard (x299), i7-9800x cpu, os is mojave. My xhci controller have 0x8086a2af address, so it's supported by AppleUSBXHCIPCI. But i can't find out, why this driver (it's loaded and works with asmedia ports) didn't bound to standard 200-series XHCI controller. In IOReg i see XHCI device, but without binded driver to it. I haven't noticed any errors into log. I've also tried USBEjectAll + xhci-unsupported kexts (last is not needed i think) but this didn't changed anything. Is any ideas how to debug, why AppleUSBXHCIPCI didn't want to bind to 0x8086a2af (but works with asmedia ports)?

ps. on each boot i see following in my log:

XHCI@(null): AppleUSBXHCI::start: hardware exception occured

UPDATE: solved problem with adding npci=0x3000 to kernel parameters

Just for curiosity, I'd reviewed my Boot.log. Those messages are showing up.

RCBA disabled; cannot use it.
ATI injection not set


Does anybody know what does it mean and how to clean these events?
