Need help to create a working
minimalistic SSDT
Dear
@kgp ,
@apfelnico and all contributors to this thread, thank you a lot for investing so much time and effort in this, which made my new build possible! And I learned again so much.
Thanks a lot!
Before evaluating flaws of my build (nearly all working but not very stable) I would like to have a correct and full PCI implementation, but I am stuck at section E) 9.2 though, after a lot of attempts I never got any PCI implementation working.
Although my bootlog saying that the ssdt files were "successfully" loaded, my system inspector PCI list was showing just 5 entries, TBEX3 and GTX1080, with cryptic names and slot entries and the nvidia audio driver not loaded.
Now I want to start with a radical minimalistic SSDT but even that I dont get running because of one compiling error.
I stripped down the SSDT-X299-imacpro.aml with MacIASL to just some lines concerning the eth0 (thought this might be the easiest) and the DTGP method. Is there anything missing?
In the line
Scope (\_SB.PCI0)" I get the compiling error
Error 6117, Existing object has invalid type for Scope operator (\_SB.PCI0 [Untyped])
my minimal ssdt:
Code:
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "NICO", "X299", 0x00000000)
{
External (_SB_.PCI0.ETH0, DeviceObj) // (from opcode)
External (_SB_.PCI0.GBE1, DeviceObj) // (from opcode)
External (DTGP, MethodObj) // 5 Arguments (from opcode)
Scope (\_SB.PCI0)
{
Scope (GBE1)
{
Name (_STA, Zero) // _STA: Status
}
Device (ETH0)
{
Name (_ADR, 0x001F0006) // _ADR: Address
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) // _DSM: Device-Specific Method

IORegistryExplorer shows patched PCI0 path.
Activated patches in Clover:
PC00->PCIO, _OSI->XOSI, GBE1->ETH0, _DSM->XDSM, SMBS._ADR -> XSBU.XADR
I use KGPs EFI distribution 180531, 10.13.4SU (17E202)
running SMBIOS imacpro1,1
Would be so nice if someone could guide me to a working SSDT starting point.
Maybe also someone with a working ASUS X299 DELUXE/ 7820X combo could upload his SSDTs/EFI?
Much appreciated.
I attached EFI without SSDTs.
