Not only that you did not manage to get sleep/wake working with 4 different mainboard solutions, you also repeatedly failed in successfully implementing TB XHC USB and TB hot plug functionality.
That is true, I haven't managed to get hotplug working with my existing TB devices regardless of the TB card used (asus or asrock).
Even using the exact same base hardware as you and the same efi and SSDT.
My guess is that it doesn't work because of the thunderbolt devices I'm using (apple TB display), Promise Pegasus R4 and lacie TB ssd.
None of those devices show up on Windows intel TB drivers as being TB certified. That could be the reason.
Instead of starting a constructive discussion, you started advertising e.g. against SSDTs or iemy TB settings (which supposedly lock the BIOS in your personal opinion), even without providing any further details or largely unnecessary alternative solutions...
That is entirely inaccurate and taken out of context. At the time I was replying to a user who got worried that he may not succeed in getting his motherboard to work, and that he should get the asus instead. All x299 boards can be made to work with little work,
As for the BIOS TB settings locking, you seem to have missed that this was WITH THE ASROCK TB CARD!!!! And I was answering a question on that topic. It is not a personal opinion, it's a fact. When using the ASROCK TB card with the asus prime deluxe, you can't change the TB settings in the bios. Otherwise the PC will lock up after you save the bios settings. Obviously the problem doesn't occur with the Asus ThunderboltEX
In contrary to any reasonable constructive scientific approach, you just discredited fully working approaches and you just unsettled the readers with your erroneous and contra productive statements and conclusions.
I discredit nothing, seeing that I am very grateful for the tremendous work you've done in describing how to get up and running.
I would have never got mine going without your help.
So how could you think that I'm discrediting your work, when I've always been thankful and appreciative of it.
All I pointed was thst the majority of the SSDT code could not be included and it would work just as well.
And stop thinking that any posts suggesting a different way is made to personally attack you or discredit your work....
