SSDT generation script (Ivybridge PM)

[PikeRAlpha]

Update

ssdtPRGen v5.5 is now available – the update is a two step process:

1) remove ~/ssdtPRGen.command
2) run ssdtPRGen.app (the one with the icon)

Change log

- Changed warnings to make them pop out in the on-screen log
- Now using the ACPI processor names of the running system
- Now supporting up to 256/0xff logical processors
- Command line argument for processor labels added

Usage

./ssdtPRGen.sh [max turbo frequency] [TDP] [CPU type] [ACPI Processor Name]

./ssdtPRGen.sh
./ssdtPRGen.sh 3600
./ssdtPRGen.sh 3600 70
./ssdtPRGen.sh 3600 70 1
./ssdtPRGen.sh 3600 70 1 CPU

./ssdtPRGen.sh [processor number] [max turbo frequency] [TDP] [CPU type] [ACPI Processor Name]

./ssdtPRGen.sh E5-1650

./ssdtPRGen.sh 'E3-1220 V2'
./ssdtPRGen.sh 'E3-1220 V2' 3600
./ssdtPRGen.sh 'E3-1220 V2' 3600 70
./ssdtPRGen.sh 'E3-1220 V2' 3600 70 1
./ssdtPRGen.sh 'E3-1220 V2' 3600 70 1 CPU

New Warning Type

Warning: Target CPU has 48 logical cores, the running system only 8

Of course not. Please attach the plist so that I can look at it.

Here comes the plist.

Here comes the plist.

There is no "Macmini6,1" in that plist and that is why you get the warning.

There is no "Macmini6,1" in that plist and that is why you get the warning.

The problem is I'm not using Macmini6,1 definition:

Strange, the board ID from my smbios.plist (Mac-F65AE981FFA204ED) is already inside PlatformSupport.plist, but the product name Macmini6,2 is not, and I haven't modified this file by hand so far. In your scripts this board ID points to Macmini6,2 and not to Macmini6,1:

ssdtPRGen v5.5 :

./ssdtPRGen.sh E5-1660 4500 130 1

For some reason, the script tries to make my CPU Ivybridge. In this situation the State is not raised, what is my mistake?

 

[PikeRAlpha]

@philip_petev,

Neither the Macmini6,1 nor the Macmini6,2 can be found in the plist. Not that it really matters, since this is just a warning.

@alexlov,

You are using a 1 as

bridge type override value​

and thus it should change it to Ivy Bridge. The real problem is that it displayed "Sandy Bridge PM" when it ought to display "Ivy Bridge PM". This due to a script error. Should be fine in version 5.6 – available right now.

Thank you for reporting this bug!
