<< Solved >> HELP: XDCI HDAS → no or short sleep

[JannisKe]

FIXED

Removed the _PWR methods of XDCI & HDAS in my DSDT and changed the _DSM methods to XDSM via Clover.
I don't know which one of them fixed it or if both together were needed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

But regardless as soon as I activated Thunderbolt 3 in UEFI It worked.

I know this thread is only me talking to myself and the solution is not very unique but I hope that it helps at least one of you guys. Have a great time hacking'

P.S.
bless you tonymacx86 and thank you RehabMan for all your work

Hi tonymacx86.com community ,
the problem I can't solve myself is: ↓

Sleep never lasts longer than 45 seconds
OR
Sleep lasts way longer the first time with kernel panic when trying for the second time

Let me explain:
When I deactivate Thunderbolt 3 in UEFI:

• Sleep never lasts longer than 45 seconds.
  • The system never fully awakes, though. It goes into DarkWake for about a minute before entering sleep for 45 seconds again. (I didn't try this for longer then 3 circles, so results after one hour or so may vary)
  • Every darkwake mode I set in boot-args means that DarkWake doesn't work at all. The system just fully awakes then.
• "pmset -g log" says:

  DarkWake from Normal Sleep [CDN] : due to / Using AC (Charge:0%) "1-45" secs

  or

  DarkWake from Normal Sleep [CDN] : due to XDCI HDEF/ Using AC (Charge:0%) "1-45" secs

When I activate Thunderbolt 3 in UEFI:

• Sleep is... you know... sleep, for the first time
  • When I don't set any darkwake mode, then the system goes into DarkWake when I press a button. I need to press a button for a second time to fully awake the system. With a darkwake mode set it awakes completely with only one button press.
• The second time however:
  1. Monitors go dark, but fans keep spinning. Like they did the first time
  2. Fans keep spinning way longer than the first time and a button press won't do anything. Unlike the first time.
  3. After some time (I think 3-5 minutes) the system restarts itself and a kernel panic log pops up saying something with apple original USB kexts went wrong.
     • I think that is because the Thunderbolt 3 controller does not awake from sleep but keeps getting somehow recognized by macOs.
• "pmset -g log" doesn't change

What I have done:

• I tried nearly every clover "FIX". None of them have an effect
  • the only clover option I need for booting is "KernelPm" in Kernel and Kext Patches and since Catalina a boot-arg for Whatevergreen to work.
  • I have inject intel enabled because I want my internal graphics to work
  • HWPEnable is also active in my Clover Config because the CPU then drops below 1.2 GHZ.
    • I think this causes a rare Kernel Panic you may see in my debug file. The one with "intel.driver.energy" in it, but I'm not sure.
• Renaming HDAS to HDEF only has the effect that "pmset -g log" no longer has HDAS but HDEF in it
• Proper USB injection
  • Yes all internal USB hubs are internal
  • Yes all USB ports match their type
  • Yes Port Limit Patch was used when doing the injection but was not needed afterward so I disabled it
• Disabling IGPU
• Various UEFI settings:
  • XHCI Handoff on/ off
  • Powermanagement on/off
  • ... nearly every other option
• DSDT patches... like every one that is somehow related to wake. Even the ones from Rehabman for Laptops.
• Apitomemoryfix and variants

The only positive thing I got out of this search for fixes is better CPU Power Management. Even though Power Nap is not an Option anymore.

... I just don't know what to do anymore. I hope I was detailed enough so that you guys have everything you need

Thanks for posting this - it helped me fix instant-wake in my Dell PowerEdge T30 in Catalina.

Hi JannisKe, can you kindly explain or provide me a link to do this PWR & XDSM thing which I want to resort to? My tech level stopped in tinkering Cloverconfigurator and I desperate to fix my haunting "sleep-immediate wake" issue (althought I have done USBport.kext and I am sure it works)

Thanks
