Sorry,just type in wrong word,it's not showing in the sys report,but the usb 3.0 work fine in the system since i just install the system, i have use something like genericusb, and i didn't find any information about xhc in my dsdt, also i haven't do anything in clover confit, nearly empty in my config, if you wish, I can send u my efi by email or other instant message app like qq, I have try few vendor Id and device id today, but all of them can't make the usb3.0 showing in system report, just try to detect the speed of my ssd USB key, it can run 73mb write and 230 mb read, so I think it running properly in system, sometimes if I wake up my system from sleep, that will make it work not properly until restart of the system

I have succeed flashing my Renesas uPD720202 by using Caldigit subsystemvendor id & subsytemid.
my mobo sec:
mb : GA Ep45-UD3P
ram: 8g
GPU: ATI 4850 512m
CPU: Xeon E5450
OSX: 10.10.5 / 10.11.6
PCI card: Renasas uPD720202

The usb3 will not show in the system information USB tree when running 10.11.6. But it works when I plug the removal harddisk.Thank you .
I flash it in the DOS mode and have to "power off" before restart ,otherwise it wouldn't make it.

Hey thanks for ur reply man. Appreciate it. Just saw it. Will try it.

You mean i have to place the kext in the kexts folder ? And change some setting in the plist ? Thats all ?
Click to expand...
Yes, place the kext to L/E. The kext only edit info.plist to remove the ID check.

I'd just like to report success with the µPD720202 on Yosemite (bought on eBay).

I didn't flash, but used a file I found on the comments here:

http://www.spaceman.ca/blog/?p=288

Specifically this from "srhardy" (get it before this gdrive disappears. it disappeared once already):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7k1XCw3-hTceHJCcDB4cDREb1E/view?usp=sharing

In case I have problems with this card in the future, I have made a freedos USB drive with the appropriate wares, but this appears to work for now and I'm happy.

*edit* hotplugs just fine. The best method seems to be to connect the USB device to the expresscard before inserting the card. Doing this in the reverse order will cause the card to eject (whoever designed the eject mechanism didn't think things through IMO). After I'm finished I eject the device then remove the card from my MacBook 17.

YAY

hi,
after several kexts install, uninstall, flashing rom, bios settings, reboots, i come here.
my usb3 card is a silverstone sst-ec04-p, with nec/renesas μpd720201 chipset.
when flashing it, the tool said that the revision 3, 25Lxx/6 series (macronix).
now, i think the MB bios is well configured. and i use the sonett kext.

on the first post it's said that the renesas subsysteme device id is 0015.
my card's device id is 0014 ! does it can make error?
when i use a usb2 key, that run well. but when i insert a usb3 key, the system need to initialyse the key, but she don't appear in finder. i think the system don't use the same kext ?
i think when i use a usb2 key, sxhcd kext is used . when a usb3 key, the appleusbehcipci kext is used.
the usb3 chipset could be recognised as intel?


my config':
asus p5b-e + (legacy bios) core2duo E7600 4Gb ram gtx560ti.
mac os 10.11.6 clover
