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

I hate to say this, but perhaps it’s time to consider a fresh install? I would start right away with OpenCore 0.6.0. That mini guide has instructions for Mojave. Just create the OC 0.6.0 EFI folder, copy it to the EFI partition of the Mojave installation flash disk, and run a new install. Be sure to unlock MSR 0xE2 first. Instructions are at the bottom of the OC 0.6.0 mini guide.

I actually fixed the problem, but I'm still interested in OpenCore for stability reasons if I'm able to run Mojave. Can you link the guide? Cheers

Sure, please click the indicated link from the Quick Reference spoiler in Post 1:

So, I have a driver for a Digidesign 003R (a interface to my UAD) that causes a system freeze on OS load –with SIP enabled. Is there a way for me to keep SIP enabled and whitelist that particular kext? In the meantime, I've removed it and everything boots fine.

Or should I reinstall the driver and remove the Avid device kext from L/E to the EFI?

At this time yes we need to use an external flasher. We're looking into the possibility of using Linux, but that may take a while.

Are there any news about flashing with linux instead of a flash device?

Unfortunately it was not possible to flash the BIOS via Linux either. This is because the firmware is digitally signed, and if any bytes are modified, the signature becomes invalid. Using an SPI Flasher is the only way (as far as we know) to overcome this issue and force a new firmware onto the chip.

I did not flash my Titan Ridge, I just used the SSDT-Z390-DESIGNARE-TB3HP-V4 and it is enough to work with my RME UFX + as well as my Apollo satellite OCTO. I use a flashed GC-Alpine Ridge for my Apollo Silver but without SSDT because the hotplug causes a kernel panic with the UAD driver. I just have to reboot to be able to use it. My Orion32 + does not work via Thunderbolt because of the Antelope drivers, so I use it via MADI with the RME UFX +.

@yosoyoco hi so you are using a flashed GC-Alpine Ridge without the SSDT.
did you get rid of the uad kernel panics? which modified flash rom did u use? hotplug works fine and everything else as well? or what is the current behavior?
thanks

I keep getting this kernel panic, after my PC freezes. I don't know if this is the VMware bug but it can happen even if I haven't run a VM. If anyone has any potential fixes that would be great, because it's happened 4 times just today alone.

If anyone want a USB programmer for the Thunderbolt chip this one works really well and has 3.3v as standard.

Which software are you using with this device? The usual Windows CH341A software floating on the Internet does not seem to recognize this device.

Neither does flashrom on macOS:

% flashrom -p ch341a_spi -r test.bin
flashrom v1.2 on Darwin 19.6.0 (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.

What is your SIP setting in Clover or OpenCore?

It looks like a memory allocation or overrun error. The offending process name is:

BSD process name corresponding to current thread: plugin-container

Please try this if you don't know where this process comes from:

• Launch Terminal and type: top
• Look for plugin-container in the COMMAND column.
• To the left of it is the Process ID or PID. If the PID is 1, it is owned by the kernel. But if PID is greater than 1, then look in the PPID or Parent Process ID column.
• Grab the PPID number. Let's call this number X.
• Now look for the number X in the PID column (column 1). What is the COMMAND associated with that number?
