[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

It will show up in PCI if Device Properties are injected. If you used config-AMD-GPU.plist as the basis for your OpenCore config.plist, those device properties are already specified.

Another way to check is by downloading and running IORegistryExplorer, then scrolling the device tree on left side (do not use the search field) to IGPU@2. If you see AppleIntelFramebufferController as shown, then iGPU is okay.

Yeah I used 'AMD-GPU' as the basis and left the PCI properties for iGPU alone. Doesn't appear in IORegistryExplorer either. The system is not seeing the UHD630 at all. Being an i9 should not make it a different platform-id should it?

SOLVED
just had a quick think there and realised that I had igpu to auto in bios change to enabled and there you go... populated! cheers for the help guys. Total respect to you CaseySJ, the EFI works a treat!

First of all, @CaseySJ and @Elias64Fr, thank you very much for your hard work!

I have a laptop, Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th gen with an Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt chip. Thunderbolt works just fine (including hotplug) without the "BIOS Assist" option in the BIOS, but adds about 2W to the CPU package power consumption. The "BIOS Assist" option removes the additional power draw but also disables hotplug functionality.

Is there any way I can mod the Thunderbolt firmware in a similar way to allow for native Thunderbolt functionality? Looking at the thread, I didn't find any specific references to the patches applied and I don't know much about the subject to try and figure it out on my own.

I'm attaching an SPI dump of the Thunderbolt chip in case that helps.

Any guesses on an issue I've been having on and off for ages, with uptime ranging from hours to weeks my USB will suddenly die. I'll be working, and my Magic Mouse will freeze and my keyboard will be non-responsive and after a minute or so it will scold me about not ejecting my backup drive before removing it. (or sometimes I'll return to my desk and find it this way). Very frustrating, fortunately I have my MacBook running Synergy so I can usually clean up and reboot cleanly (or ssh in and sudo shutdown).

Build is pretty faithful to this post, on fully patched Mojave — seems a bit worse since last security update.

Oh, and lsusb will show a second error line when it is not working, but will still list the devices. (I think all of them)

Have you seen the USB Best Practices guide? This is particularly applicable to systems with multiple USB 2.0 devices. It may be a good starting point...

Catalina 10.15.6 has just been released. As always, make a full bootable backup before attempting the in-place update. Hahaha I’m always one release behind. Literally just finished testing 10.15.5

Use iMac19,1 even if you have i7-8300 because USBInjectAll 0.7.1 does not support iMac19,2. You may, however, use USBInjectAll 0.7.5 with iMac19,2.

Well - it got WAY further in - a little over half way but I was greeted with a "Stop Sign" on a black screen. The main SSD in the Hackintosh is still a blank exFat drive.
I could not find a -v or Verbose mode in openCore Configurator.
Thanks though, for all you suggestions. I am still utterly stumped as to why it all worked the first time.

Hello @contemporarygary,

Because this is an Alpine Ridge controller, you have two options for enabling Thunderbolt Bus:

• By modifying SSDT
• By modifying Thunderbolt firmware

In both cases, however, you may see some issues with Windows.

If your main concern is to reduce the extra 2W of idle power that Thunderbolt consumes, it is better to modify SSDT alone. We can try to enable Thunderbolt power conservation.

To modify SSDT, we will need:

• Original DSDT.aml
  • This can be obtained through Hackintool as shown:
    
  • After Step 2, select a destination folder, then locate DSDT.aml and post only that file
• IOReg file by running IORegistryExplorer and selecting File --> Save As...

Thanks @CaseySJ - moved my USB2 hub from the USB3 hub in my monitor to the USB2 port where my scanner was plugged in and I'll see how that goes.

** Preliminary Update on Big Sur Public Beta **

​

I've been encountering a persistent problem when installing Big Sur Public Beta 1 directly on Designare Z390. Using the OpenCore 0.6.0 EFI from the Mini-Guide (no changes) and standard BIOS parameters (no changes), the Big Sur installer starts up and I can (a) format the destination disk and (b) begin installation. But about 30 seconds into the process, the following error occurs (simply open the Installer Log from the menu and select "Show all Messages" from the pop-up on the right side of the log window):

Aug 7 13:06:48 iMac osinstallersetupd[234]: Extracting /Volumes/Shared Support/com_apple_MobileAsset_MacSoftwareUpdate/878ad7930fa12653a9b85de02c61ab40fcd367c6.zip -> /Volumes/Big Sur/macOS Install Data/UpdateBundle

After reviewing and cross-checking this with @Inqnuam and @joostiphone I did the following:

• Used my 2020 MacBook Pro to install Big Sur onto an external SATA SSD using the same downloaded installer that produced those red errors above. This means the downloaded file is okay.
• Connected the SATA SSD to Z390 Designare and copied the EFI folder from Catalina EFI to Big Sur EFI (no changes).
• Booted with the SATA SSD and, voilà, Big Sur is working. Although at the OpenCore Picker, the volume name is Preboot.

Apparently, @Inqnuam did not encounter the same problem with payload.005, and was able to install Big Sur directly.

If (a) you are encountering the same "payload.005" problem or (b) you have successfully installed Big Sur Public Beta directly, please let us know.

** Preliminary Update on Big Sur Public Beta **​

...

No issues here. I used the opportunity to switch to OpenCore 0.6.0 from Clover, updated painlessly through Software Update. A couple extra reboots, and OpenCore shows Big Sur drive as "Preboot" but I've read that will return to drive name after a few more reboots.

Thank you! I'm attaching the files to this message.

I have one concern though, wouldn't this DSDT also include the SSDTs and ACPI patches injected with OpenCore? I'm currently using SSDT-Z390-TB3HP.aml and a couple of hotpatches for the TB hotplug
