Anyone found a DSDT Patch Solution for the "missing" powermanagement-ability-info on the EHCI Devices?

[Fine Vision]

Hello.

I have iATKOS v7 10.5.7 on Asus P5N32-E. All works fine. All my USB devices mounting correctly, but it's only until machine go to sleep. After it's wakes up and I trying to mounting flash-drive or external USB HDD i have a kernel panic.

Anyone can halp me?

Sorry for my english.
Thanks.

OK guys, i managed to patch my DSDT to get the EHCI USB Ports sleeping.

Unloading the Controller during Sleep results in USB Drives being removed by force without unmounting, which might result in data-loss:

kernel	USBF:	0.392	AppleUSBEHCI[0x6838800]::CheckSleepCapability - controller will be unloaded across sleep

The Apple USB Drivers search for a device property "AAPL,clock-id", if it is found the ports are flagged built-in, if not, they will be unloaded during sleep. I renamed my EHCI Devices to EHC1 and EHC2. This is just cosmetical, search for your EHCI Devices by the adresses (e.g 0x001D0007 , 0x001A0007 for Gigabyte)


Here is my EHCI DSDT Part:

			Device (EHC1)
			{
				Name (_ADR, 0x001D0007)
				Method (_S3D, 0, NotSerialized)
				{
					If (LEqual (OSFL, 0x02))
					{
						Return (0x02)
					}

					Return (0x03)
				}

				Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
				{
					0x0D, 
					0x03
				})
						Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
						{
						   Store (Package (0x04)
							   {
								 "AAPL,clock-id",
								 Buffer (0x01)
								 {
									 0x01
								 },
								 "device_type",
								 Buffer (0x05)
								 {
									"EHCI"
								 }
								}, Local0)
							DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
							Return (Local0)
						}
			

			}

			Device (EHC2)
			{
				Name (_ADR, 0x001A0007)
				Method (_S3D, 0, NotSerialized)
				{
					If (LEqual (OSFL, 0x02))
					{
						Return (0x02)
					}

					Return (0x03)
				}

				Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
				{
					0x0D, 
					0x03
				})
						Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
						{
						   Store (Package (0x04)
							   {
								 "AAPL,clock-id",
								 Buffer (0x01)
								 {
									 0x02
								 },
								 "device_type",
								 Buffer (0x05)
								 {
									"EHCI"
								 }
								}, Local0)
							DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
							Return (Local0)
						}

Hi ApexDE,

Very nice finding. I don't have this message in my log file:-

Quote

kernel    USBF:    0.392    AppleUSBEHCI[0x6838800]::CheckSleepCapability - controller will be unloaded across sleep

but I'm too experiencing the same problem where USB drives violently ejected without properly unmounted during sleep.

This may fix the problem. Thank you for sharing.

Apex - great patch confirmed working in 10.6 on my ep45 ud3p -- i wish i could say the same for the other guides floating around

[mm67]

Works for me as well. Using ep45 ud3

[cparm]

my usb2 (ehci) port are now reported as built-in, no "controller will be unloaded across sleep" error anymore, but my system refuse to sleep with this patch  

i also noticed that my usb1 (uhci) port are still not built-in

[mm67]

For me this works on both Leopard and SL, now if it was only possible to wake up with keyboard or mouse or Apple remote, on my old MSI P43-Neo I was able to use all those for waking up.

Guys, please help a noob. I have been looking for a solution to this problem for weeks and weeks.

How exactly do I use Apex's code in my dsdt? I know how to do the patching and all; I have partched my file for Audio, network, and video.

But exactly WHERE do I put this code in my dsdt.dsl, before reassembling? Do I paste these 2 devices at the end of the file, or am I supposed to replace an existing section with these sections. I could not locate any EHC devices in my current patched dsdt.

I do have the EP45-UD3P board that you guys have, with an nVidia 9800 GTX.... I am attaching my dsdt.dsl file.

EDIT: NEVER MIND I figured it out.... I works perfectly for me in SL.


Thanks guys!! APEX

Apex,

Added the fix to my blog, http://stellarola.tumblr.com/

Thanks a lot for this, it's sure to help out a lot of folks.

[MACinized]

here's for my dsdt:

			Device (USBE)
			{
				Name (_ADR, 0x001D0007)
				Method (_S3D, 0, NotSerialized)
				{
					If (LEqual (OSFL, 0x02))
					{
						Return (0x02)
					}

					Return (0x03)
				}

				Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
				{
					0x0D, 
					0x03
				})
			}

			Name (NATA, Package (0x01)
			{
				0x001F0001
			})

will u, ApexDE &/or stell, help me how to proceed?

tia.

btw, tried to follow the aboveposted fix by ApexDE, no dsdt.aml can be compiled. i'm getting this:

Compiling done, if it worked, you have now a patched DSDT in dsdt.aml
If the compiling went wrong, you could force to build it with ./DSDT\ Patcher -f (try this DSDT at your own risk)

[ApexDE]

@ kizwan
does your Applesystemprofiler show the highspeed ports as built-in? Search your logs for Sleepcapability. If your ports are unloaded at sleep then you need the fix too.


@ macinized

You need to add the DTGP Method just after the _WAK Method in your DSDT:

	Method (DTGP, 5, NotSerialized)
	{
		If (LEqual (Arg0, Buffer (0x10)
				{
					/* 0000 */	0xC6, 0xB7, 0xB5, 0xA0, 0x18, 0x13, 0x1C, 0x44, 
					/* 0008 */	0xB0, 0xC9, 0xFE, 0x69, 0x5E, 0xAF, 0x94, 0x9B
				}))
		{
			If (LEqual (Arg1, One))
			{
				If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
				{
					Store (Buffer (One)
						{
							0x03
						}, Arg4)
					Return (One)
				}

				If (LEqual (Arg2, One))
				{
					Return (One)
				}
			}
		}

		Store (Buffer (One)
			{
				0x00
			}, Arg4)
		Return (One)
	}

kewl!

got it working now ApexDE. tnx a lot.

no more "The disk was not ejected properly. ..." error after waking-up from sleep.

OSx86 just gets better. tnx to people like u.  

[update]

this patch to dsdt seems to distort my sound. using voodoohda & after booting using the newly-patched dsdt, my sounds sound broken (i.e. "krrk... krrk..." from time to time).

anyone got this same problem?

while at this, is there anyone who can point me to the right direction on how/what to edit in dsdt to make my alc888 work w/out any extra kext?

[update2]

it seems that the dsdt-patch is NOT the cause of distortion of my sounds. sound distortion only happens after waking-up from sleep.

when i rebooted, sounds fine again.

then my macPC still has sleep-problem.

Thanks man I have a Gigabyte EP45C-DS3R and worked perfectly!!!

[tuxianer]

Hi,
I have the same problem with my EP35-DS3 here ist my DSDT: http://pastebin.com/fa6c132a.

Is it possible to fix the error on my board?

[Innerz]

Thank you so much, it's working great also on GA-965p-DS4

I try this fixes without any success: http://pastebin.com/f72848271

I have an MSI Wind U100 that got the Device Removal Error. After performing that patch it made it worse. This is what I got:  Picture_1.png   84.52K   79 downloads

[suri2001]

when i compile i get always these two errors:



/Users/mash/Desktop/SL Pack/DSDTs/dsdt.dsl  4182:                              DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))

any idea?

this is what it looks like:
