How do I get a working DSDT HP Pavilion 15-r210dx

[sithinjatyler]

Ok, so I've tried to get this laptop completely working as a Hackintosh, and so far have been successful with getting the following to work:

-Graphics
-Battery
-PS/2 Keyboard and trackpad
-USB 3.0
-Both CPU cores without the need for cpus=1
-smbios
-SSDT

Things that are NOT working:

-Screen Brightness Control
-Audio (I have tried VoodooHDA, haven't patched the kext yet)
-Wifi (though I will be replacing the wifi with a compatible Broadcom bcm943224 soon)
-Sleep

Things that are not tested:

-webcam (I don't care)
-Ethernet (doesn't work in windows with correct driver, is probably broken)
-CD/DVD drive
-External video/audio outputs

It is my understanding that these things that are not working can work as long as I have a DSDT with the correct patches and such. The only problem is when I try to get a DSDT (generated from my own laptop, since this model doesn't have a publicly available DSDT since it's not common enough) and try to compile it with MacIASL or another editor, I get a TON of errors, and don't know how to go about fixing them all, ending up with many more errors when I try to fix them. I don't have the experience with DSDTs, but I have tried researching each and every error and haven't had much success. If anyone can help me out, that would be very much appreciated. I have mostly used RehabMan's kexts and guides, and I must give thanks to him for his work.

The specs of the laptop are as such, with the DSDT attached:
-Intel Core-i5 5200u (Broadwell)
-Intel HD Graphics 5500
-6GB DDR3 Ram
-1366x768 lvds display

Ok, so I followed the guide as much as I can, including getting a dsdt.aml via Clover's F4 method, and then disassembling the resulting .aml with iasl. After doing so, I have opened the resulting .dsl with MaciASL and tried compiling it. The result was 34 errors, 7 warnings, 9 remarks, and 39 optimizations. As I know that the 3 latter sections don't need to be fixed in order to work, I will tell you the errors and if you would, please give me some knowledge of what it means, as I have used Google and haven't found much.

The error for most is "Object does not exist (xxxx)" in which "xxxx" is replaced by a small phrase, being "PCIM" or "NHPG" or something of the like

The other errors are mostly "Object not found or not accessible from scope (^^LPCB.EC0.UWAK)" but also refer to "(^^LPCB.CRID)"

There's also 3 syntax errors, but I think I should be able to figure those out. Attached is the .dsl I'm working with.

If you can help me at all, thanks in advance

Wait. Just realized I didn't do the refs.txt... I'll post when that's done...

You cannot disassemble the DSDT by itself. Read the guide carefully.

Alright, so after attempting to do it the RIGHT way, I came really close to getting a correct file, but ended up with an error while trying to use iasl with this line:

"iasl -da -dl -fe refs.txt *.aml"

I get the following result:

This led me to think that SSDT-3.aml was a duplicate of SSDT-5.aml, so I promptly deleted it (after backing it up of course). After that, I got another error, that being of the RSDT-SSDT-8x.aml

"External object resolution file RSDT-SSDT-8x.aml

Does this mean I need to get rid of the RSDT-SSDT files? It doesn't say so in your guide, but I'm assuming that is the case, so I just tried that. However, this time, I ended up with an error about RSDT-FACP.aml, so... Do I delete all the RSDT files, or am I doing this wrong?

Read the guide carefully.

Hint: You should not be disassembling files that do not begin with DSDT or SSDT.

Ok. So I ended up with the .dsl files for everything and got this message at the end of the command. Is this normal?

"iASL Warning: There were 19 external control methods found during
disassembly, but only 17 were resolved (2 unresolved). Additional
ACPI tables may be required to properly disassemble the code. This
resulting disassembler output file may not compile because the
disassembler did not know how many arguments to assign to the
unresolved methods. Note: SSDTs can be dynamically loaded at
runtime and may or may not be available via the host OS.

In addition, the -fe option can be used to specify a file containing
control method external declarations with the associated method
argument counts. Each line of the file must be of the form:
External (<method pathname>, MethodObj, <argument count>)
Invocation:
iasl -fe refs.txt -d dsdt.aml"

Is it a problem that 19 were found but only 17 resolved? Also, since I'm assuming I'll be using the dsdt.dsl file from now on, I opened it up and got the same amount of errors as before. Am I missing something here, or is there something seriously wrong with my DSDT?

No.

Error messages refer to the line number of the source file for good reason.

If you need help, you will need to attach your native DSDT + SSDTs (from Clover F4 extract).

Will this .zip file work?
