@rrviega

Hello, thank you for posting an excellent guide to using OC with this motherboard. I am about to try out using your EFI and BIOS settings for my setup (from post #777), but I have an i5-9400F. I am on the F12 BIOS release and the F edition of the i5 does not have an iGPU. Any changes I need to make before using your EFI folder? I am using an nVidia NVS 510 GPU that works OOB without any need for modification.

Thanks for your time in advance.
I used the iMacPro1.1 SMBIOS for a while, with the same instructions given by the other dguy. Works well, only Sidecar is not supported because of the absence of the T2 chip.
Sorry for the delay in responding, but I'm getting better now from coronavirus here, in Brasília. I'm still a little sick. Nice GPU!

I have updated the BIOS from v10 to v13 can you please share your CLOVER EFI as we have nearly identical system and your experience and advice on OpenCore migration.

Jesus, didn't know that and I hope you'll fully recover.
Please stay safe! :thumbup:

@Rajkhand
If you have updated your BIOS to F13 you should be fine with your own Clover EFI folder.

What do you mean with "advice on OpenCore migration"? Post #803 is solely about that.
Furthermore, there are a lot of useful informations on the last six to seven pages of this thread concerning this topic.

Please clarify

2. What the DSDT do in in ACPI Patched
3. Didn't see the PCI patches which is merged with Hackintool in the config.plist

I have read all the pages I asked for your config as a reference to see I am not doing anything wrong and to understand thing which I am not able to understand.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve with Clover Configurator if you interested in a transition to OC.

As you don‘t reference to a specific post being an embedded link I can’t help you.

I think he's trying to determine the OpenCore equivalent of the patches shown in the screenshot...

Anyone did a compatibility/comparison between the iMac19,1 vs iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS. With a dedicated GPU it seems more natural to disable the internal GPU especially with the newer 5000 series.

clover configurator is what I understand to an extent and is a referrence point for me. OC is something I have to understand and learn, the above question is from your own config.plist, I presumed you will know the purpose so I asked the question.

I'm fully recovered, guys. I am following the challenges of the new OS closely. I already have the schema ready here in this first version, but I will only release the EFI with the distribution of the Golden Master. So don't worry, Hackintosh will be at least in the next 5-7 years.

@rrviega in your #777 EFI, why do you have 5 ACPI patches? None of them are needed, and OpenCore recommend against them.

Why do you add devices for so many of the devices? Just to name them? The only ones that are necessary are internal graphics (to inject ig-platform-id), the DGPU (for shikigva flag) and I choose to inject layout-id for audio rather than use a boot parameter.

What BIOS version do you use? I'm still on F10 and it uses RTC so SSDT-AWAC isn't necessary. I believe later BIOS versions switch to AWAC though.

Updated to 0.5.9 + Open Canopy GUI. Tested on Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101) with F13 BIOS and SMBIOS 19,1. IGPU + GPU.
Updated to 0.6.0 + Kexts + Open Canopy GUI. Tested on Catalina 10.15.6 (19G73) with F13 BIOS and SMBIOS 19,1. IGPU + GPU (rx 580 8gb).
Removed no longer needed ACPI patches. Thanks, @slippyr4.

Everything

Not working:
-


Paste in MLB, Serial Number, Board Serial Number, SmUUID.
Remove/adjust memory settings in config.plist (SMBIOS section) according to your own needs.
one clarification, in for config the ACPI patch which is required for booting for BIOS >10 is disabled, why?
