X299 Big Sur Support

Yup looks like same issue. Notice that XHC2/3/4 aren't being populated in Hackintool and HS01/HS02/SS01/SS02 aren't showing under the XHC devices in ioreg. So not sure if we even need to map them?

The USB ports work but some problem





And I prefer USB-MAP-master , not fun from the other multi-tool

The USB ports work and with USB-MAP master :

Yup same here. I also don't use Hackintool but just thought I'd mention

Let's see if there's something wrong anyway: I'll keep you informed

I am about to upgrade my system to BigSur. Can someone please share an OC 0.65 EFI folder for an Asus x299 Prime Deluxe mainboard. My CPU is an i9 7900X, Sapphire Radeon Vega64, TitanRidge Thunderbolt, WiFi/Bluetooth Broadcom Card built according to @kgp's guide?
Thank you

I revised the kext seems to work.

Edited the post : #1,376 and attached here too #1,386

Ok, some progress (glacial) here are some of the images, and yes I have the ASMedia.kext installed this time, it's starting to come together a bit...

I should note this is better, but I haven't saved, renamed, or remapped anything yet.

I haven't added the "SSDT-X299-Designare-iMacPro.aml" to the system yet.

Back panel partly mapped, still work in-progress... I'd like to get the "Unable to Identify" mapped

Motherboard IO mapped a bit more

Here is the IOReg screenshot hopefully this is what @Loloflatsix wanted to see correctly?

@Jasoncole98 - still need to get that PXSX controller renamed before you can really start I think.

Good news over here - I am writing this post from Big Sur booted and working well on Gigabyte X299 Aorus Ultra Pro, NVRAM is working, Bluetooth and WiFi also working natively (its not the on board Killer AC WiFi for anyone stumbling on this, I swapped the mini M2 card on the back panel for BCM43960CS).

I've still got to tidy up some basics first, but its working and I need the machine for work tomorrow, but after that I'll start to take a look at the USB mapping and see if we can move this Gigabyte thing forward


(EDIT: Spoke too soon, I have the same problem as you, on the same 4 back panel ports, no devices detected - and I thought they were attached to the X299 chipset and wouldn't be a problem. Thats even with USBInjectAll and XhciPortLimit true. Will dig deeper tomorrow)

The ASMedia.kext is linked here : #1,254

You should see your RPXX ---> PXSX on your IOReg with this kext, that's why it's strange to me if you can't see with : let me know.

[ edit : and when your USB.kext is ok you can remove the ASMedia.kext ]

On my Asus X299 Prime Deluxe I use full SSDTs and SSDT-PMC but from where I am writing now, on my Asus X299 Rampage Build, I only use the required SSDTs and two for my VEGA GPUs.
So SSDT-PMC is not the cause of the problem.

Maybe some progress RP13 is the internal USB C :

            Return (Local0)
        }
    }

But where are the two other ASMEDIAs (PXSX): I also research.

 

[rustEswan]

@Jasoncole98 @Loloflatsix Think I'm making some progress.

With the attached SSDT I am able to rename my PXSX controllers and start mapping. I've noticed some unexpected behaviour which is starting to make sense now:

With only USBInjectAll and XhciPortLimit True my USB map looks like this, two controllers requiring rename, I think mine are highlighted red and showing "Needs rename" because there are two ASMedia controllers with conflicting names - yours may not show in red or highlight as conflicting because there's only one of them. However, I still think it needs the rename:

I then used the tool to create the attached SSDT, added to my EFI, updated config.plist and rebooted. Now it looks like this, properly renamed and ready to map:

Here's where it behaves very differently to my MSI X299 - on that board the ASMedia controllers are only for the USB-C ports, all of the USB2/3 ports are on the X299 Chipset under XHCI for mapping, nice and simple.

Gigabyte is doing it differently however - my 4 rear USB3 ports are actually on a Realtek USB Hub connected to one of the ASMedia Controllers, not on the intel X299 Chipset. So this would explain why without the ASMedia PXSX properly renamed and mapped we don't register any devices plugged into them.

Clue is in our manuals, although its not that clear, this is Aorus Manual note that it says Chipset+Realtek for my rear USB3 (red) ports - I think it should actually read "ASMedia + Realtek Hub"

I'm pretty sure you'll find the same on the Designare Board, only you've just got a single ASMedia controller to worry about, this is the manual entry for your X299 Designare EX, I suspect your 4 rear that you can't identify are actually on a hub connected to the ASMedia controller:

So lastly, this is how it looks in the USBMap tool, notice that under XHC2 it shows a USB3.0 hub and I have "Cruzer" an old USB2 flash key plugged into a rear (red) USB2/3 port and "Samsung T3" plugged into the rear USB-C port, all showing on the same controller:

(Ignore my pink names of the ports above, they've carried over from my MSI build and are not correct)

The side benefit of this hassle is that it means less physical ports on a single controller and so is easier to stay under the 15 port limit


I need to finish going through the whole process, but its a start in the right direction. Focus on getting a version of the attached SSDT to work for your single PXSX controller rename and it should get easier.

EDIT: Assuming your IOREG is showing RP13 on PC00 try this second SSDT-USB-reset-Designare.aml I've just attached. No other USB related SSDT's (except SSDT-EC-USBX) or kexts, so no ASMedia.kext but with USBInjectAll and XhciPortLimit True and see if you can map and identify ports correctly in USBMap-master.

 

[Jasoncole98]

So on an episode of "Interesting Things", The .aml file works, kinda, with USBInjectAll removed and XhciPortLimit False this is what I see:

The ASMedia controller shows up proper... BUT when the kext is installed and set to true we see this:

Seems like it's gonna be an uphill battle to map things... when I plug into the 3.1 ASMedia port nothing shows to map.
