Acer Aspire v5-571PG 4.0

ACPI and Clover config for Acer Aspire v5-571PG

Tested on Catalina 10.15.1 and Clover EFI 5098 (Should work on MacOS 10.9.x - 10.15.x)

Not Working:

- sd card reader

- Atheros AR9462 (use a compatible USB wireless adapter, see below)

- Touchscreen (MacOS 10.15 only)

Notes:

• Disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy Boot.
• Legacy Mode is recommended.

**To reset your BIOS, power on the pc and hold the power button for about 30-40 seconds or you can short G2101 (RAM SLOT 1)**

About the Atheros card:

You can install ATH9KFixup (you will also need additional patches on 10.14+ to restore Atheros support) to enable this card, however,

it will break sleep on MacOS 10.14+, it can freeze your OS at any time and it can freeze your network settings.

Because of its instability it is highly recommended to buy a USB wireless adapter.

You can find a list of working adapters, and the drivers, here.

Additional things you will need:

• Latest Clover config (AcerAspireV5-571pg - CCE Bank) from here
• CloverEFI (download) or OpenCore (download - Untested)
• WhateverGreen (download)
• VoodooPS2 (download)
• VirtualSMC + SMCBatteryManager (download)
• AppleALC (download)
• Lilu (download)
• Mieze Realtek RTL8111 (download)

CloverEFI drivers you will need:

• ApfsDriverLoader
• EmuVariableUefi
• FSInject
• DataHubDxe
• VBoxHfs (if you have hfs partitions)

Remember to install BIOS drivers if you enable Legaby Boot.
