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

[CaseySJ]

I've successfully updated the BIOS to F9b and native NVRAM few days ago.
I can't say if it was right after that, but the EFIClone-v4.sh script has stopped working for me. I noticed the destination EFI partition mounted and not the boot one so I stopped the backup in CCC. I've reinstalled the script, leaving it in test mode and let run to see what's going on.

From the attached log looks like the boot partition is not recognised and then I can see all files from my boot drive listed.
What could have happened and how could I fix this? At the moment backing up the EFI folder manually but would be great to have it back in automatic mode!

Something is very wrong. Can you please compress and upload the entire EFIClone.log (if it does not contain any sensitive information)? Alternatively, remove a bunch of the file names, but keep a handful of them.

So much great info in this, thanks so much to all...

I've got everything working now with the exception of sidecar -
I can't enable AirPlay in display pref pane either.

Any advice?

What solutions/suggestions/options have you already tried?

What bluetooth/wifi card do you use?

Doing some housekeeping on my config.plist reading through OC guide.

Should I remove these three in my case?
slide=0
dart=0
agdpmod=pikera

The first two are necessary. The last one can be removed because you're not using the RX 5700/XT.

Thank you for having a look at it @CaseySJ, the log file had over 6 million lines, I believe every file in my computer was added. I removed most of them, just leaving the beginning and end. If you need a particular part please let me know.

I'm on Mojave, with the Home folder on a separate SSD. In the same system I have 3 HDDs, 2 of them in RAID 1 mode.
Using Clover 5103.
The script was working perfectly, I didn't notice when it stopped working.
Thanks again.

@byteminer,

Please have a look at the highlighted parts of EFIClone log:

sourceEFIPartition is incorrect, consisting of disk0s1 disk8s1. edunon has multiple drives in his system, as follows: "In the same system I have 3 HDDs, 2 of them in RAID 1 mode."

@edunon,
Please compress and upload the EFIClone-v4.sh (script) from your CCC Scripts folder.

I'm on it, will dig around a bit.

WOW!!! This is brilliant...

Will incorporate all of these changes this evening and try the following devices:

1. Apple Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet with Apple TB3-to-TB2 adapter
2. PowerColor Gaming Station X eGPU with Radeon RX 580 installed inside
3. Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro

Last night only item 1 generated a device tree under DSB1/DSB4.

Regarding TBID, I'll add this: Name (TBID, 0x04).
Regarding LPMN (in UPSB.PCED), where is this defined?

Hey CaseySJ & Elias64

Great job on the TB keep on goin'
But ... Cassey .. I followed your guide, installed Catalina 15.2 than updated to 15.3 without a glitch
So with the kexts & SSDT's all works great. Also the Apple Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet with Apple TB3-to-TB2 adapter. I was not shown in the TB pane. ( See files. )

I hope at the end of the work you do with Alias64 my Antelope Discrete will work to. ( Actualy is doing strange things which are way over my level of understanding ).

If I can help with logs or tests I will be glad.

Regards
