X299 - Open Core support

[izo1]

Never mind I made it work !!!
@mm2margaret @flmmkr - Solution coming your way - post your EFI ( without S/N, UUID ) let me fix it.

Catalina requires EC. That’s probably why you guys can’t get BT working.

Okay....here you go....but I'm really curious what it was??????????

Try it first. My Combo card is BRCM4331. different than yours. But I believe it should work...

Well, I knew about EC (I thought that was only needed in beta 5 of Catalina), but in my case, BT doesn't work in Mojave, either, and Mojave does not require EC.....and Lorengrin also reported that BT didn't work in Mojave or Catalina, with symptoms very close to mine.

I have to go out and do some errands before I hit the bed, but I'll try it tonight if I can....thanks!

Yeah, I've seen others report similar issues on other forum regarding the BrcmPatchRAM2 stuff in Catalina...but if @Ellybz has a workaround use that for now until this is figured out.

Unfortunately I don't have any other PCIe cards to test with or I would chime in about BT issues.

I think the issue is BrcmBluetoothInjector is not being injected properly in Catalina, but it is in Mojave.

Yes, BCM94360CD

You should get in line with Ellybz, he thinks he has a fix.....!

Maybe @shael can post his EFI?

I really would rather not post my EFI... I thought about it as Ii have finally finished conforming to OC docs. However, with the treatment this forum hands out. I'd rather not open myself up to all the questions. It is really not difficult to read the docs, and I have yet to see anyone in this thread aside from @izo1 read them. Especially since a lot of the stuff KGP has in his guide is irrelevant to OC, outdated, or incorrect. which will lead to a lot of confusion among the users in this thread.

This thread should really be about clarification on the docs and help with assistance on creating a flawless OC config. Just my 2 cents.

@mm2margaret id is pci14e4,43a0 card is Bcm94360cd...why are you using injector kexts?

Because it works. And it has worked in Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave. That's why.....now I'm sorry I posted my EFI.
Again, with the reading of the docs. I've read them. And I suspect Ellybz has read them as well.

@Ellybz So, if your change was AirportBrcmfixup, it didn't work for me. Sorry to report that. I do appreciate the effort....

I suspect that will be the last time I post my EFI on this thread.

I have a Broadcom CS card in my other hack. I may switch it out and see what I get then....thanks again.

Give this a look over... (it belongs in the deviceproperties section of the config.plist)

**keep in mind this is for the card being in slot slot-3**

            </dict>

**EDIT**
As well please confirm that your USB 2.0 header on the board is enabled using IOReg.

Please don't tell me you have read the docs as your EFI clearly does not reflect such. If you still cant figure it out... post an IOReg dump, and I will work with you on correcting the issue. That is if you want the help this time.

Thanks to @apfelnico for the SSDT that I then further modified.
