Option 1:I started by learning how do a Hackintosh by watching Youtube, then I used OC GEN X to build a EFI folder and I used the opencore guide on GitHub dortania to compile and check my list, then I used sanity checker. Then when everything but the Thunderbolt worked, I dug deeper and found this site.
But there is so much info here I got confused.
The very last thing I did was used Hackindrom to change my config.plist hoping that would add Thunderbolt SSDT's that I though I was missing.
Sorry, hope that didn't mess things up too much.
The only device's connected to the Thunderbolt port on the z390 are,
Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter into the Quantum, then the other port on the Quantum is a Thunderbolt 2 to Firewire 800 cable into a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter into the Midas F-32 Firewire interface
To configure the on-board Thunderbolt ports, please copy the two attached SSDTs to OpenCore OC/ACPI folder and add entries for them in the ACPI section of the OpenCore config.plist. Then reboot and see if the Presonus works. If not, try hot plugging. It would be best to disconnect the Firewire device when testing the Presonus.
Option 2:
Also note that we have a fully configured OpenCore 0.6.5 EFI for the Designare Z390. We simply need to:
- Copy PlatformInfocredentials into the file shown below (because you have an AMD GPU).
- At the HackinDROM website, select Copy Config from the bottom of the window.
- Then select Choose File (see screenshot below) and select your existing config.plist
- From the drop-down list, select Z390 Designare OC 065 AMD GPU - CaseySJ (screenshot below)
- When the new file is downloaded, rename it to config.plist
- When you download the OpenCore 0.6.5 EFI (from this link), unzip the file if it's not auto-unzipped.
- Then rename the folder to EFI
- And copy the new config.plist into the OC folder located inside this downloaded EFI folder
- Now you can copy this new EFI folder to the EFI partition of a USB flash disk (the USB flash disk must have been formatted with Scheme = GUID Partition Map)
- Boot from the USB flash disk (pressing F12 at BIOS splash screen to select the USB flash disk from the BIOS boot menu).
- Then boot macOS from the internal SSD.
- If all goes well, the EFI folder from the USB flash disk can be copied to the EFI partition of the internal macOS SSD (but backup the existing EFI folder first)
