[Success] [OpenCore] Dell Inspiron 17 5767 (i7-7500u)

[arch-dev75]

​

Hi all and welcome to my new guide on how to install macOS Monterey on our Dell laptop with OpenCore. Now I can say that we are near to make this hack a "daily driver"

.

Dell Inspiron 17 5767 specifications

• Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
• CPU: Intel Core i7-7500u (7th gen) / 2.7 Ghz
• RAM: 16 GB / DDR4 SDRAM
• Display resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Full HD)
• Primary GPU: Intel HD 620
• Secondary GPU: AMD Radeon R7 M445 / 4 GB / GDDR5 SDRAM
• Audio codec: Realtek ALC3246 (ALC256)
• Wireless - Bluetooth: Intel Dual Band AC3165

What is working

• All things not listed in "What is not working"
• Hibernation it's working (for now only without AC power charger plugged in and with lid closed) but it still under testing phase. Anyway it seems that hibernation cycles are very close to the ones of native Mac (see attached logs for a proof). Here are pasted some of the most important lines:
  [ 6668.236172]: HibernationFixup HBFX: @ (DBG) Auto hibernate: sleep phase 2, hibernate now
[ 6651.334132]: hibernate image path: /var/vm/sleepimage
[ 6651.705131]: Opened file /var/vm/sleepimage, size 1073741824, extents 10, maxio 2000000 ssd 0
  If you do not want it just disable it running usual code snippet:

  sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
  sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
  sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage

What is not working

• Secondary GPU --> disabled by SSDT patch to make boot possible
• 3.5mm audio jack (fixes under testing)
