[solved] Need some help troubleshooting USB3

[hogfan]

I'm on a 6 series board with a Texas Instruments US3 XHCI controller. Laptop is a Dell XPS14Z (L412Z). Recently upgraded to El Capitan and have most things working smoothly. This laptop only has 2 USB ports so one of them not working really limits what I can plug in. I'm on 10.11.5 and have tried the GenericUSBXHCI.kext with no luck. I have working battery status, sound, wifi & bluetooth. However, after waking from sleep, Bluetooth is no longer available as well as the USB 2.0 port has stopped working. Any assistance troubleshooting the USB issues is extremely appreciated as I was never able to get this working last year on Yosemite. The attached zip file contains my current config.plist, ioreg, & the patched DSDT that I am using. My bootloader is Clover.

Attach ioreg as ZIP: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

Provide output (in Terminal):

kextstat|grep -y acpiplat
kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu
kextstat|grep -y applelpc
kextstat|grep -y applehda

Attach EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (press F4 at main Clover screen before collecting). Please eliminate 'themes' directory. Provide only EFI/Clover, not the entire EFI folder.

Attach output of (in Terminal):

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

Compress all files as ZIP. Do not use external links. Attach all files using site attachments only.

You didn't press F4, so no possibility to compare ACPI.

But you have a lot of work to do here...

As for USB, probably your USB3 is not going to work, but check here for USB2: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-10-11-usb-changes-and-solutions.173616/

 

[hogfan]

Sorry for missing that step! I have attached a fresh copy of the EFI/Clover folder after pressing F4, and it looks like the files you are looking for were dumped into the ACPI/origin folder.

Thanks for taking a look. If it's possible to get the USB ports working in USB2 mode only I would be happy with that at this point. This laptop has two external usb ports on the back, one USB2 & one USB3. I am reading over the link your shared regarding USB.

For your non-Intel USB3 controller, you could try GenericUSBXHCI.kext.

https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Generic-USB3

Comments on ACPI patches present:
- I don't think the LPC patch you're using in DSDT is needed. Your native LPC device-id is likely supported.
- Adding the _PRW to the WiFi ACPI device is probably a mistake (the entire patch is not needed as it is all handled by FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext)
- Brightness requires only "Brightness Fix" + IntelBacklight.kext

 

[hogfan]

Thanks for the feedback. I edited this DSDT last year so I do not remember what patches I had applied to it. I found it better to take a clean copy of my original DSDT dump. The only patch I have applied to this DSDT is the "Battery Management Fix" for my laptop from your repo. I have also removed the other unnecessary kexts and installed intelbacklight.kext (Add PNLF patch applied in Clover) & FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext. I also installed the GenericUSBXHCI.kext. I'm am trying to step through this more methodically this time and only apply patches/fixes necessary. I have attached a fresh updated copy of my EFI/Clover folder (remembered to press F4 this time!), as well as a fresh copy of IOREG.

I believe GenericUSBXHCI.kext has resolved my USB as best as possible. I think you are correct about USB 3.0 not going to work on this machine in OSX, but I now have USB2.0 working on both ports AND my USB devices attached are available as well as Bluetooth when waking from Sleep.

I applied two additional DSDT patches, audio layout 3 and IRQ fix and Bluetooth was working again after that (IRQ fix I think fixed it). Thank you for your help. We can mark this issue as solved.
