BRG7 now appears in IoReg! But still no luck with my Motu 8A. Could it be that AppleVTD is not enabled? Is there a way to enable it on this mobo? I'm still using Clover bootloader because I had issues (set default boot partition and sketchy CPU power management) I couldn' get around using OpenCore...
No luck... I also checked the settings to enable AppleVTD in BIOS and Clover Quirks (Virtualization Enabled in BIOS and DisableIOMapper Disabled in Clover). I believe that the missing AppleVTD in IoReg might be the culprit
USB3-C ports are working even with hotplug

I just reviewed the motherboard's specifications on Gigabyte website. It is quite old. Apple has declared a number of their own computers as "End of Support", and those are even newer than this board!
It would be best to direct your time and energy to a current-generation system.

I know... TB support was the only thing missing on this machine that's been constantly working great since 2011 (starting with Snow Leopard and now with Mojave). I just thought I could give it a shot...
Thank you so much for your help @CaseySJ ! I learned a lot from your guides and your posts
I'm having issues on hot-plug. Basically it doesn't work. Maybe somebody can point me in what I am missing, here.
ASUS PRIME Z690M-PLUS D4
Intel 12700KF
Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 6600 8 GB
Gigabyte GC Titan Ridge v 2.0 with custom firmware (GC-Titan-Ridge-V2.0-Mod-NVM50-CaseySJ.bin)
OC 0.8.8
macOS Ventura 13.1
What I did:
Flashed thunderbolt card with custom firmware
Shortcut pin 1 to pin 3 of the card
Installed the TH card on slot 4 of the motherboard
Booted without SSDT HackinDROM to note native card UID and PCI path (PC00.RP21)
Created SSDT with HackinDROM with:
Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge - Z690 Platform
Custom UID (native UID after booting without SSDDT HackinDROM)
Replaced RP05 with RP21 (as noted in IOReg pre-SSDT HackinDROM)
Added SSDT-DMAR, SSDT-TB3-HackinDROM and SSDT-DTPG in EFI/OC/ACPI
Activated VT-D in bios and DisableIoMapper as False in EFI/OC/config.plist
I don't have any thunderbolt device: my tests are usb type C based.
I reckon after booting with SSDT HackinDROM that IOReg is showing XHC3 (as well as Hackintool).
That's it. No hot-plug at all.
I just can see 40 Gb/s as expected
