Editing custom personalities for ATI Radeon HD[45]xx

doof · April 8, 2011

Hi, I usually have better luck with Nvidia cards but I think you guys are on to some really useful stuff here.

For the life of me I can't get anything out of radeon_bios_decode. I have tried numerous ROMs and i put them in my home folder along with R_B_D, open a terminal window and drop them, it either stops or says "No Atombios signature found"

So obviously I am overlooking some crucial step that any moron who got through 1st grade should know but I must have been chewing pencils that day.

Anyhow, to encourage someone to help me without using words like "noob" or "try googling", I thought I could contribute some needed pieces.

fixrom.py is a python script written by pipomolo42 at MR. fixrom.py <filetofix.rom> <fixedfile.rom> will give you correct checksum and allow rom to load, flash, etc.

I will also attach the Mac OEM Apple 5870, 5770, 4870 and 3870 ROMs so that they may be analyzed.

Here are the rom dumps with the 6870 thrown in for good measure.

Greetz again...

Not being sure about what to set the txmit/encoder bytes to, I went ahead and wrote a quick atombios decoder that outputs different goods to bcc9's... (and armed with both sets, hmmm maybe I am one step closer).

I didn't bother to do up the sense ids or i2cids, and was only focussed on the txmit/encoder bytes for R5xxx or better atombios goods (hmm)

my attached bin doesn't do much error checking, but is used same way as bcc9's for consistency.

Here is output of my Sapphire 5770 Flex 1GB card from my own... I have yet to plug in/test these values, but based on Mucha's thread and this one, maybe I'll get lucky ;-)

Well, to maybe save someone else the fine pleasure of trial and error w/ my particular card...

In the end, using vanilla SL 10.6.7 kexts I was unable to get a second or third monitor working regardless of what framebuffer or personality entries I put. (I could certainly affect things with it however).

The best I could get was an incorrectly/forced cloned HDMI display. QE/CI worked from the outset so that wasn't really the goal.

What I ended up doing was installing the MBP 10.6.7 kexts, which gave me two correct screens, one from the DL-DVI and one from the HDMI.

To get me a couple more monitors, I just went and bought another 5770 (non flex this time as there was no real point for osx, heh) and now have four monitors connected.

Note: GraphicsEnabler=no was the goods for the MBP kexts, everything works fantastico.

Also of note is that the ioreg for it now looks quite a bit different...

Where it used to say things like ATY,Vervet@0 it says ATY,ATY,RadeonFrameBuffer@0 ... other flags/etc look same-same.

happily operating on dual 5770 cards across four monitors... :-)

this is a good script so i can congratulate you and also i spent a lot of time getting the above info last time i was testing. The numbers you have above is what numbers i came down to in my final test.

LVDS 10,00

HDMI 21,03

VGA 00,10

maybe a duallink DSDT patch might work?

maybe a duallink DSDT patch might work?

After having played with it for several days on end, the MBP ATI kexts don't appear to be using a connectorinfo like the one we have been playing with here...

It really does appear to be dynamically acquired in at least some description...

I ended up abandoning all of the aforementioned as soon as I got the working GraphicsEnabler=no MBP kexts happening.

Still, I am unable to get the DisplayPort working from my Flex card ... which I would have thought would be easier than the HDMI port, apparently not.

Unknown really... I wasn't able to coax much out of using the modified txmit/encoder values... your mileage may vary... :-)

i understand the dual link patch where it boot's up the missing display example the theory was LVDS was being sent to GFX0 instead of GFX1 which my machine uses, but that theory failed for me.

10.6.7 stock using Lion DP2 kexts works good for me, i'm hoping Apple make 5650m work by default when Lion or earlier comes.

HDMI and VGA work 100% for me.

LVDS doesn't activate but it gives backlight.

I forced the EDID from windows and i get correct resolution setup which is good. But EDID didn't fix it.

I think a blackscreen with backlight 10.6.7 stock won't be fixed with whatever is available.

If ATI5000Controller controls T/E's. ATIFramebuffer used too. ATISupport is left. What does ATISupport do? ATI5000 and FB kext used to work together for resolution change. ATISupport used to work with ATIRadeonX3000 kext's. There has to be more features or controls that we are missing. to me 5000 kexts are complete or our card id's would not be in there. If it's a routing problem, dual link problem then DSDT fix should be able to fix it, but a long with a dual link DSDT fix you would also need to force your EDID for things to recognise properly in MacOSX. Just my thoughts.

@atlee, You should have some rest. You wrote paragraphs twice in previous post.

I also have a blank LVDS output with the backlight on, no matter what framebuffer I use. I've tried booting with every framebuffer listed by ati_personality.pl in ATI5000Controller.kext (I have an ATI 5650m).

When I run "./radeon_bios_decode < 68C1.8001.0210.vga.rom", there's no i2cid or senseid listed. Is that because my LVDS screen isn't detected? Forcing a EDID has no effect whatsoever.

The HDMI and VGA outputs work perfectly with QE/CI. so no problems there. Just LVDS is having problems.

Here's what I've tried so far:

Booting with every framebuffer in both 32 bit and 64 bit mode.

Booting with GraphicsEnabler enabled and disabled.

I've attached the VBIOS dump to this post. I'm not sure if there are any system logs that I should post.

One last thing: I've tried to mess around with my DSDT, but even an unmodified DSDT won't compile (166 errors), so hopefully, the solution isn't to patch the DSDT.

Thanks for all the work that's been done so far! Just a little bit more towards a perfect kext !

i never noticied sorry, will not rest till succeeding full macosx setup, will try every new final and beta kext that comes out whilst also patching applehda for my audio.

Tell me why such low rates and how to fix it? I'm using a MacBook smbios.plist 5.2.

I'm trying to see about enabling HDMI audio on my Dell Studio XPS 435T with an ATI Radeon 4870.

I've been reading through the thread, but some of it is a little over my head for the moment.

I have a working custom DSDT.aml file for my computer.

What would I need to do/provide/generate in order to see about getting the HDMI audio working on my machine?

Thanks!

new lion build 11A430e, will see if kexts have changed newer kext's but still no further luck

The problem:
Under OSX the ATI driver uses a hard-coded set of personalities to define some of the video card's capabilities, most notably the connector layout. This is sufficient to support the limited number of configurations that Apple ships, but leads to non-working monitors (black displays) in many hackintosh configurations. Users have limited success & limited functionality by simply guessing which hard-coded personality best matches their video card.

This is a rough draft

Some prerequisites:

Installation of OSX Developer tools (for examining personalities with otools)
Somewhat working install of ATI radeon HD[45]xx card with Kabyl's chameleon branch:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=231768
Understanding of hex editing
Ability to troubleshoot by looking at ioregistry, understanding how to test ATI personalities using ATIConfig
There are currently 26 ATI framebuffer personalities defined in ATIFramebuffer's Info.plist.

Each of these personalities defines a set of hard-coded information about the video card hardware. One of the key pieces that gets defined is the connector information, known as ConnectorInfo within the ATI driver.

There is one ConnectorInfo structure for every potential connector that may be plugged into a video card. (Dual link DVI ports still count as a single ConnectorInfo). Each personality defines a table of these ConnectorInfo structures.

The ConnectorInfo structure can be represented as the following 16 byte structure, in C code:
typedef struct {
		   int ConnectorType;	/* known values below */
	   #define CONNECTORTYPE_LVDS 0x00000002	/* Ie internal Low Voltage display,
								 such as laptop */
	   #define CONNECTORTYPE_DVI  0x00000004
	   #define CONNECTORTYPE_DP   0x00000400	/* Displayport */
	   #define CONNECTORTYPE_HDMI 0x00000800
		   int flags;
		   int features;
		   byte link_i2cid;	/* Bits 0-3: i2cid
					  Bits 4-7: link transmitter link */
		   byte dac_digidx;	/* Bits 0-3: link encoder number
					  Bits 4-7: link dac number */
		   byte hotplugid;
		   byte senseid;	/* Sense line is bits 0-3
					 Use hw i2c flag is bit 4 */
		   /* i2cid = (senseid & 0xf-1)+0x90 */
		   /* senseid = (i2cid & 0xf) +1*/
	   } ConnectorInfo;
where integers are represented in intel little-endian byte order, and bit 0 is the LSB.

Lets take a look at the driver's 32-bit code for seting up the ConnectorInfo.

otool -arch i386 -vt ATIFramebuffer | c++filt | grep createInfo

gives you the list of the 26 initialization routines.

For all personalities, the initialization routine sets the connector count and a pointer to a static array of ConnectorInfo.

I've written a script which will parse the personality initialization routines for you and calculate the effective address of the ConnectorInfo table, as well as the number of table entries. The script currently outputs information for all personalities found in the ATI Framebuffer kext.

Usage:

perl ati-personality.pl

to output 32-bit kext information, or

perl ati-personality.pl -x

to output 64-bit kext information

for 10.7 and 10.6.7 2011 MBPs, the ATI kexts have been revised, use:

perl ati-personality.pl -a

to get the connectorinfo from their new locations.

See finding-patch-address.txt in the attached zip file for instructions if you wish to calculate the effective address & disk address yourself by hand.

For example purposes lets focus on the 10.6.6 32-bit portion of the kext, and the uakari ConnectorInfo. From ati-personality.pl we learn:
Personality: Uakari
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 4
Disk offset in decimal 226552
0000000	00  04  00  00  00  04  00  00  00  01  00  00  12  04  04  01
0000010	04  00  00  00  14  00  00  00  00  01  00  00  01  12  01  03
0000020	00  02  00  00  14  00  00  00  00  01  00  00  00  00  06  05
0000030	00  08  00  00  00  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  22  05  05  04
0000040
You can see above that the perl script found the location of the Uakari connector info and has dumped out the contents in hex.

You can dump it yourself with:
dd if=ATIFramebuffer of=/tmp/uakari bs=1 skip=226552 count=64
			od -Ax -tx1 /tmp/uakari
Since there are 4 connectors for this personality, we dump 4*16=64 bytes.

Now we take a look at the ConnectorInfo.

So we have for this personality

connector-type 0x0400=displayport at port 0

connector-type 0x0004=DVI at port 1

connector-type 0x0002=?? at port 2

connector-type 0x0800=HDMI at port 3

Booting kabyl's chameleon branch on my Sapphire Radeon 5670 with this personality results in working DVI and working HDMI (with no audio). Note that due to a bug in that code, overriding the personality from Baboon (the default with 3 connectors total) to Uakari results in 3 injection strings not 4. So the 5670 hardware's ports are matched against only the first 3 entries in the uakari table.

Looking at the ioregistry, one can see that port-number 1&2 matched and port 0 did not. (ATY_ActiveFlags != 1 when the port is matched).

So my HDMI port was matched but with the wrong connector type (0x0002). This causes HDMI audio to fail.

To fix this I overwrote bytes 0 thru 15 of port 2's table entry with port 3's.

You can do this using your favorite hex editor. I used emacs

xxd, followed by ascii editing, followed by xxd -r is probably a less awkard choice.

The resulting table with the 3rd row changed:
 od -Ax -tx1 /tmp/uakari
			000000 00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 01 00 00 12 04 04 01
			000010 04 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 01 12 01 03
			000020 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 05 05
			000030 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 05 04
			000040
Now my HDMI audio port is recognized as type 0x0800, with the usual HDMI flags, but with the expected sense line (0x05). And viola, HDMI audio now works!

Next, my Sapphire radeon 5670 actually has 3 ports - HDMI, DVI and displayport, and, alas, this personality is only working with 2 of them, even though the personality does include a displayport connector. Luckily I was able to find a different personality with which this card's displayport did work, the Vervet personality.

Again from ati-personality.pl, we find Vervet's ConnectorInfo:
Personality: Vervet
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 4
Disk offset in decimal 226616
0000000	00  04  00  00  00  04  00  00  00  01  00  00  12  04  04  02
0000010	04  00  00  00  14  00  00  00  00  01  00  00  01  12  01  04
0000020	00  02  00  00  14  00  00  00  00  01  00  00  00  00  06  03
0000030	00  08  00  00  00  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  22  05  05  01
0000040
My card does in fact match port-number 0 for the DP port, as seen in the ioregistry.

So I copy the working senseid field from the vervet personality into the Uakari personality (replace the 0x01 at byte 15 of the first line with 0x02).

Viola, all 3 ports are now working with my card...

Hope this helps others with non-working ports or with HDMI audio problems.

Only HDMI is fully working. For internal screen and VGA always black screens. I tried to change encoders and transmitters for dual link, still no progress.

I do not know what I am doing wrong .

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

So you have a 5650m i am presuming? if so LVDS won't work no matter what you try at this stage, use an older version of the decoder, and your lvds does have a sense id, for some reason it just ain't showing, but i doubt sense id's have anything to do with switching on/off of the port. i can even get HDMI and VGA working using any sense id.

If sense id does not mean anything do you know what mean other numbers on this dump, especially Encoder values and type values? Is it something to put into ATIframebuffer?

Greetz again...

Not being sure about what to set the txmit/encoder bytes to, I went ahead and wrote a quick atombios decoder that outputs different goods to bcc9's... (and armed with both sets, hmmm maybe I am one step closer).

I didn't bother to do up the sense ids or i2cids, and was only focussed on the txmit/encoder bytes for R5xxx or better atombios goods (hmm)

my attached bin doesn't do much error checking, but is used same way as bcc9's for consistency.

Here is output of my Sapphire 5770 Flex 1GB card from my own... I have yet to plug in/test these values, but based on Mucha's thread and this one, maybe I'll get lucky ;-)

I wonder what transmiter/encoder values will you recommend to use?

Interestingly my line for HDMI using mucha's guide was 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 01 02 02

and working fine.

Then I used your values for HDMI 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 02 02 and it worked too!

Unfortunately, LVDS still black so far....

Yes, I have a 5650m on a Sony Vaio laptop. How do I use an older version of the decoder? I'm guessing that I'll need older kexts? I'm currently using the Lion kexts from Developer Preview 1.

I've been trying to get my mini display port working on my 5970 using a edited personality but I'm having problems so I if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it a lot.

Basically I've got 3 displays detected (DVi+DVI+DP) but only my 2 DVI's are currently working. I've tried changing the encoder for the display port but I'm still not getting any output.

Heres my bios dump:

Can someone read out the BIOS Infos with Radeondump of this VBIOS file:

http://db.tt/OxSn7vR

(It's a 4570 mobility)

bash-3.2# ./radeondump > 1002_9553.rom

Usage: ./radeondump [-d] [regnum] [-r start,end]
-d		dump Radeon card BIOS ROM
regnum		dump Radeon card IO register values at regnum
-r start,end	dump Radeon card IO register values in the range of [start,end]
-i		dump EDID

Use radeon_bios_decode found at the bottom of the first post and the command should look like this:

./radeon_bios_decode <  1002_9553.rom

Notice the bracket is the other way round.
