[Guide] Native Power Management for Laptops

[RehabMan]

Yes I posted the output here:
What does it mean?

It shows some pstates used:

CPU P-States [ (8) 17 18 ] iGPU P-States [ (7) ]

It seems to show CPU PM working (x8 through x18 is expected for i3-3217U).

Thank you! Now what's next?
Do I have to uncheck generate P and C states from Clover config.plist?

EDIT: added Problem Reporting files.

Since you're setting DropOem=true but not including the OEM SSDTs, in ACPI/patched, Generate/CStates/PStates=true is likely required.

You might consider why you're dropping OEM SSDTs...See ACPI patching guide linked from the FAQ.

Hi RehabMan, I managed to get HP Envy Skylake 13-d102ng i5-6200U to run under OS X 10.11.6 using clover
After patching several items (Wifi bcm 94352z and Brightness) I came to the power management.
Using the ssdtPRGen.sh script by Pike R. Alpha (beta-branch),
I am wondering if my SSDT.aml is correct as I got a warning about "cpu-type" and an error about the board ID running the script, furthermore I can´t get AppleIntelinfo.kext output.
I know that my smbios is not correctly set to Skylake i5, but using that correct setting, provided by Clover Configurator, would not allow my to boot again, resulting in an incorrect platform boot-stop at Clover.
See attached files for problem reporting!
Could you provide my any help, also concerning the correct smbios setting for clover?

I added all the SSDTs in ACPI/patched along with the generated one, unchecked Generate C/PStates in Clover and everything works fine, I also run Geekbench and scored higher than the average score for my CPU! (200 extra points)

Your ioreg shows CPU power management correctly configured.
You're not loading AppleIntelInfo.kext... (make sure you refer to the correct path where you have the kext).
Make sure you read the README for AppleIntelInfo.kext so you know where is stores output.

I checked with AppleIntelInfo.kext after putting all the SSDT in patched and now it displays a lot more P-States!
Also, general responsiveness seems better.

RehabMan,

It's me again, after the HP Probook, I am building a Asus Zenbook 10.11.
I think I am almost done and only sleep is not working just now (bluetooth will solve it later)
From Console, it show Wake reason: XHC EHC2 EHC1
I can search XCPM: registered, IOPPF: XCPM mode

I search though and follow some other experience but no luck at all. I am not very well on reading IOreg or patch code at all.

Thank you in advance!!
Kent

You did not patch ACPI correctly.

[lanah1906]

Hello,

on El capitan, everything was working, but after clear reinstall to sierra and upgraded bios, the ssdtgen script returns:

System information: Mac OS X 10.12.3 (16D32)
Brandstring: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz"

Error: Not enough enabled processors found in: /Users/lanah/Desktop/APIC.aml!
Aborting ...
Done.

Can anyone help me? what files i need to provide to fix this problem.

Best regards
