How to build your own iMac Pro [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

[rauan1]

In addition to audio and bluetooth problems my USB3 port on the bottom (U31G1_34) also doesn't work, I had to to connect to the one on the side of the motherboard (U31G1_12)

I had the same issue until I applied the Clover usb limits patch

Well my rig is not going as planned . A lot of trouble with the pci slots . Nothing will go in slot 3 (pci 16 2) it crashes OS X each time. My RME ray dats are only recognized by the system in slot 4 . In slots 5 and 6 they are seen by the pci profile but not seen by the system as audio devices . I really tried to figure out the dsdt but I’m stumped at this point .

How did you find out the device id of the TB chipset?
Just asking to identify what it is on the Designare

1. In DPCIManager find your TB3 Device ID.
2. In boot.log find where is your device and copy adres to clover arbitrary.

Is it in the instructions? Could you please share a bit more information on this?
Edit: I checked it and USB port limit patch was already applied.

What is the Device ID needed for (I ask because the device ID doesn't seem to be contained in any of the Arbitrary injected properties in the code examples in this thread...)

Hey there,
I'm having a little trouble debugging a kernel panic that I've been getting on my system. i9-7920x running on an Asus X299-A mobo. Nvidia 1080 Ti running on 378.10.10.10.25.106.

I performed the "patched" bios and confirmed that MSR 0xE2 is unlocked. I performed a clean install of 10.13.3 on an 1TB SSD and only installed Chrome, VLC, Clover Config and Nvidia drivers via this script: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/nvidia-update-simple-way-to-install-nvidia-web-drivers.244987/

I can create the KP by playing two videos from a local file at the same time. After a while it will completely freeze. One in VLC, one in Quicktime. But the machine will lock up randomly at other times, while idling or under load. While writing this I had the machine lock up on me. This is the same issue I was running into on a previous install so I figured I'd try to start fresh on another SSD.

Here's what the Apple Error report produced when I rebooted. I'm not very advanced and any help would be appreciated in figuring out what's happening. The report is the same each crash.

Update, I tried an RX 580 AMD GPU to see if the issue was related to the Nvidia card. Same freeze persists. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried to see if PCI slots work in windows? Therefore you could find out if your config is wrong or there is some hardware problems.

1. In DPCIManager find your TB3 Device ID.
2. In boot.log find where is your device and copy adres to clover arbitrary.

Thank you for this.
Booting in windows and looking at what usb 3.1 devices appeared when I plugged it into the TB3 port, I found that it was vendor id 8086, device id 15d4 which is this controller: https://ark.intel.com/fr/products/94031/Intel-JHL6540-Thunderbolt-3-Controller
The JHL6540 is what's found in the iMac Pro.


Interestingly, googling for this JHL6540 controller, lead me to the ASRock http://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/product.asp?Model=Thunderbolt 3 AIC
Which is in stock at Amazon for just 100 euros.

I wonder if I should just return the designare and get the Asus Deluxe prime plus that card instead. Similar price, but I won't have to do any fiddling with the SSDT and other crap anymore !

I have two entries showing up in DPCIManager in the PCI list

That's different to what I was expecting...
Ohhhh.. I think I know what this is... This is the TB1 adapter found in the Apple TB screen !
I'll reboot and see if I disconnect the screen if those two are still there.

Otherwise, no other mention of thunderbolt in there.
The devices that are related are:
vendor id - device id - description
