Hello. I have same system but after a fresh catalina install after boot it goes to black screen is there something i can do? thank you , i also attached my EFI folder to see if i did something wrong.

Tonight I flashed a GB Titan Ridge with NVM 23 (both chips) with Reveltronics Revelprog-IS; very easy.

Next, I soldered pin 3,5 on back of PCB (no need to use jumpers; I verified with ohmmeter before soldering that these 2 pins are correct).

This system (not Designare, but with a similarly built-in TB chip) shows a TB presence in SystemInformation, but no expanded node in IORegistryExplorer.

Tomorrow, I'll replace a second, as yet un-modified GB TR in the X299 build with the NVM 23 board and see how it works.

You have to flash only the chip with the blue dot!

Thanks so I can read the alpine ridge without any issues but for some reason I can not read the titan ridge. I am going to grab OSY bin and put it on the alpine ridge and cross my fingers.
edit
it is reading it now...

Grabbing the OSY bin and flashing my Alpine Ridge didn't work for me. My Alpine ridge is a different chip has a different controller (JHL6240 Thunderbolt 3 chip and TPS65982 controller).
Second - I tried reading up "Patching Ridge NVM" and modifying my firmware but unfortunately didn't succeed. There were too many differences in my native firmware and the closest apple match.

I guess you did better then me lol because I did not even find the bin. DSB2 in a post somewhere else reference like he modded Alpine ridge PCI firmware.

It's easy to find the post but he didn't post any .bin for the Alpine Ridge.

Right and that is unfortunate : / I have an Alpine Ridge card and I would like to use it since it does not require power.

 

[juantrix]

In Titan Ridge AIC, power is optional, not required.

I´ll upload my SSDT shortly

Edit: Uploaded PEG / PXSX SSDT with "ThunderboltDROM", "ThunderboltConfig", Magic over modified NVM23 Titan ridge.

@scottkendall Here is the pathed bin of it for flashing via Programmer.

@juantrix : Thanks for sharing

Looks like some excellent work going on here with thunderbolt. I have an antelope audio interface so I'm watching with a lot of interest. Thanks everyone for all the hard work, fingers crossed it'll be fully functional soon!

Sorry to detract from all the Thunderbolt work but my UHD 630 still isn't working properly after myCatalina update:

Please try the attached config.plist -- just copy serial numbers back into SMBIOS/RtVariables. Not much is different in this version, so if the problem continues, we can try adding other options such at DVMT Pre-Alloc.

• What is the make/model of your monitor?
• Are you using any video adapters or straight HDMI-to-HDMI connection?

Thanks Casey, I've tried your config but with no luck. The HDMI monitor stays black while the TB-DP monitor exhibits flickering lines if booted with the HDMI monitor plugged in. The system reports the UHD 630 correctly though.

• The monitor is an AOC g2260Vwq6: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0158L13M4/?tag=tonymacx86-21
• I'm using a straight HDMI to HDMI cable.

After applying casey's config I'm occasionally getting the following crash of the system and wondered if anyone could shed some light on this as it may be released to my issue:

@juantrix just to understand it better.... You use it in combination with the custom firmware or do you inject both SSDTs at once?

Ahh... One for the Titan other to fix egpu.
