ProBook 840 G2 is not in the list of supported models in PBI CE. How do you recommend to use PBI CE? Or it's better not to use it for 840 G2?

There is experimental support for Broadwell machines in PBI-CE.

Many thanks!
I''ve updated OS X up to 10.11 following guide for HP ProoBooks [Guide] Install 10.11 beta on HP EliteBook/ProBook/others with Clover UEFI and here results:
- to boot from USB Installer I have to follow this guide[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover. I couldn't boot with files from first guide.
- at the moment in PBI-CE there is only one model with Broadwell support (430 G2 Broadwell). I used it. Some kexts from this model don't applicable to 840 G2 - I deleted them manually.
- system is stable with exception of sleep mode (it's not working - computer goes into strange mode; only restart helps)
- Some functions keys are not correct (I think because of not correct model in PBI CE)
[solved! working!]- iCloud works partially (don't work AppStore, iMessage and FaceTime). I think I should follow guide Fix iMessage.
- Audio is working with VoodooHDA
- Card reader is not working. Looking for corresponding kext

I see that you have follow my french guide.

I have only dock station Display port who not works properly.

I'll post the guide in english, and add some modification.

I have installed El Capitan Public Beta 1 first, then update to Public Beta 6.

About the card reader, i'm searching ...
surely need to inject RP02 as usb port (EHcX).

i tried to do custom dsdt patch, but failed for now.

cheers

The card reader is likely PCIe. Nothing to do with USB2 (EHCx).
 
The french guide is updated.

give me time to translate and post it.
it's raining here, maybe your chance ;)

you can read some stuff about this 820 G2 here:

(it's about sd card reader and display port on dock station, i don't find solution, but rehabman helped me)

I don't use PBI CE 6.4.1.

I prefer understand what i have on my system, and also, PDI CE don't allow sd card reader and display port on dock station.
Maybe i'll use the applehda patch in clover from the pbi installer.

cheers

COMMENT: docking station DP

I tried all ig-platform-id from: https://www.firewolf.science/2015/0...from-appleintelbdwgraphicsframebuffer-binary/

None worked for docking station.
when i patch using clover, i can change the display type (so patch is working), but pipe and attribut should be the more important value to know.

I tried different value, regarding the ioreg, but without success.

I attach the ioreg, taken with the two docking station's Display Port connected to a screen.

thanks for helping

If you can't find an ig-platform-id that makes the docking DP port work, then you're stuck with guessing regarding the port configuration for it.

Unless you find a way to extract the info in Linux or Windows when the port is working...
