SSDT generation script (Ivybridge PM)

[DiscoDancer]

Hi, I'am trying a lot but can't seem to make Clover work with Macmini6,2 smbios. It always hangs on startup.
I've tried editing PlatformSupport.plist but it didn't solve the problem. Can anyone guide me in right direction please?

You should invert order values like ~/Download/ssdtPRGen.sh 4100 77

thanks giacomoleopardo! that fixed it and my geekbench scores are now look a little better ~14k

though i'm seeing 17k when i run geekbench on my win7 partition =\

I don't think that your problem with Clover is related to power management and thus we here cannot help you with it.

Please open a new thread somewhere else. Presumably in the Clover (developers) forum because that would be your best bet to get the help you need.

p.s. I'm not even going to ask why you have that much (at least seven) SSDT tables...

I've run the script, but have run into cpu/board incompatibilities and I'm not sure which I should choose.

I'm using the Chameleon bootloader with the MacPro3,1 SMBIOS. Obviously, my problem is that I have a single CPU state of 3400 despite my settings in the UEFI BIOS (ASUS ROG Maximus IV Extreme-Z motherboard). Am I correct in my reasoning as to why I'm not getting additional CPU states, and if so then what should I have selected for my SMBIOS profile in Multibeast? Thanks!

I would say go for Macmini5,1 and do not forget to drop the factory SSDT tables. Also. just in case. Don't let Chameleon generate P/C-States otherwise this whole exercise is pointless.

I've have:

<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>DropSSDT</key>
<string>Yes></string>

in my org.chameleon.Boot.plist. I've changed the smbios to the Macmini5,1 profile. I've re-run the ssdtPRGen.command at the shell with the following arguments: i7-2600K 4600 95 0. I still receive the aforementioned warning regarding the CPU (no warning related to the board, however). I've re-booted the system, but it appears I have only 2 states, those being 1600 and 3400. Is this a smbios issue, or am I missing something else?

Interesting. I'm not quite sure what it is, but you may want to check your EUFI BIOS settings. I would also run this terminal command to see how many SSDT tables are loaded:

ioreg -c AppleACPIPlatformExpert -rd1 | egrep -o 'SSDT"=<[0-9a-f]+'

And in case you are wondering about the content of (each) SSDT table, then you can copy/paste the data between <> to a file and decompile it. This way you know what it is.

Seems like ssdtPRGen fails to detect the target directory. What directories do you have under /EFI ?

I'm not sure what directory you should use with Clover, as it is under constant development, but the idea is that we/you copy the generated SSDT to the target location on your boot device. You can do that by fixing the path in the script, but the easiest thing to do is probably just to copy the file.

I will try to fix this but need help from a Clover user to determine the new directory location – I never used Clover myself.

tthats the thing i cant seem to find EFI director location or anything like that im super confused....
