This is my favorite AMD based Hack so far. Everything works with the exception of power management. Sleep works nicely after using Hackintool to create a USBPorts.kext. When I bought the PCI-E adapter it was about half the cost it is now, same for the BCM943602CS card. An all in one Fenvi T919 is actually cheaper.
Installation Notes
The USB boot drive was made using the “createinstallmedia” terminal command as documented by Apple (search for it if you are unfamiliar) . Once complete I then mounted the EFI partition using EFI Agent by Headkaze. From there I copied the EFI folder attached below courtesy of Alex K at AMD OS X. It utilizes the OpenCore 0.61 bootloader and AMD Vanilla patches and was originally written for the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro. The attached EFI folder will also work on an ASUS Prime B550M-A WiFI but ethernet is Realtek so you have to change the kext.
It follows guidelines for Ryzen processors documented here with some modifications. BIOS settings follow the generic recommendations. https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/
