Clover General discussion

[apianti]

I 100% think that you are not setting the configuration correctly to use plugintype. First, if you have an ivy bridge or later cpu, plugintype = 1 automatically, however, you have to enable it's injection. There are two keys to set if you want plugintype injection, ACPI/SSDT/PluginType=1 and ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType=true.

 

EDIT: This is to force plugintype=1 injection, if you have IB or newer, you only need to set the second key to generate as the other is set by default by cpu model.

It supports speed step for Server processor Xeon E5-2697v2 12 core ivy processor?  I tried plugintype=true and no speed step. It’s stuck at 1.2ghz. 

 

I found this quote from another thread for X79 motherboards for controlled speedstep, but that is back from 2014 so Clover has made a lot of changes since then, clover did not have this plugintype option and now does but does it have the values for this specific processor to make speedstep work?

 

we need a extra power state at least 1MHz above our max power state and a extra power state at least 1MHz below our lowest reachable power state. Without these extra states we would never fully reach the lowest or highest state. The "-w 3" in the command below creates the extra states above and below max and min.

Who is the owner of this DSDT patch?? Must i get permission to use this patch???

There are two keys that need set, so I don't know to which one you're referring. Just set them as I said.

 

EDIT: If you need a special SSDT for cpu pm, then I don't really see what the difference is. Add the plugintype to that SSDT. Clover is just doing the same thing but dynamically so it's technically probably faster and gives better results to generate your own instead of letting clover do it since it tends to under power states since it's not based on the actual package TDP.

I don't know what you mean. No one is asking for anyone to get permission to use a patch as far as I know, and if they are then they are an a s s h a t.

I will be using Clover in my New system, after I've bought it and set it up, so you will be seeing quite a lot of me.

Hi guys,

i'm not able to inject a custom EDID using clover.

I've tried several methods but when i check IODisplayEDID in IOREG the EDID is always equal to the original one.

I know Clover has a function to inject EDID but even if i'm using it it's like is not working.

Could someone point me in the right direction ?

Note : I'm also using Lilu + Whatevergreen

 

Thanks

Mattia

When will Clover get a 19,1 and 19,2 SMBIOS profiles?

 

Can I make my own, is the board number or anything else critical or just there for sake of completeness?

Why cant I see the Shell tool anymore? I checked my Scan settings Entries and Tools are active but I cant see the Shell tool. I also make this Auto but I still cant see. Is this a bug or should I use different settings or key combination on the boot area?

No issue here with Legacy / UEFI, Shell is well detected. Plz make sure that your Theme contains: ..\icons\tool_shell.png

$ bdmesg | egrep "revision|Shell"
0:100  0:000  Starting Clover revision: 4915 on American Megatrends EFI
7:936  0:025  found tool \EFI\CLOVER\tools\Shell64U.efi
$ cd /Volumes/ESP/EFI/CLOVER/themes/Mojave/icons 
$ ls | grep tool
tool_shell.png

 

 

#EDIT: If I still remember w/o "tool_shell.png" from theme, Shell should be detected but using icon from "embedded".

I am really don't get it why I am not seeing this tool. I checked my custom them which has tool_shell.png even I removed the custom theme and used EmbeddedThemeType but nothing changed. Here are my settings under the GUI section;

Re-check your config.plist using PlistEdit or any XML Editor apps, not Clover Configurator. Go to GUI section.

I did but nothing changed. I made No with PlistEdit and restart then make Yes and restart but nothing change. It is weird. Thanks, @Badruzeus Maybe I must re-create new config.plist with PlistEdit!

I need help about Timezone.

 

My Windows show UTC +3 but if windows watch shows 4 pm after restart BIOS watch shows 1 pm.  I tried -3 on timezone it gives me dark theme on daylight. I tried just 3 it gives me a light theme but it didn't change the dark at night. Which timezone I must use? I am so confused.

This probably belongs in the themes topic or general topic but have you tried no timezone? What does your boot log say your time is? Are you sure your timezone is not set in firmware but it shows UTC?

Boot.log time is GMT. Local time is +3 now (18:26)

 

 

[apianti]

There is a bug, whoever wrote this did not read the specification of TimeZone member of EFI_TIME, it has valid values of -1440 to 1440, and 2047. Also timezones don't go 0 to 24, they go -24 hours to +24 hours but that member field is in minutes, not hours:

EDIT: Fixed for revision 4916.

 

EDIT2: Found another bug, probably no effect but still, fixed 4917:

Hello Sherlocks, in your latest commit, I think it should be i9-9900k not i7-9900k.

I was very excited to see that 4918 had the new Mac definitions 19,1 & 19,2, unfortunately, I can't seem to select them in Clover Configurator.  Is this a bug or does something else need to be updated?

Clover configurator is a third party tool, it's always behind new features. Quit relying on it so much and just edit the configuration file, it's just an XML text file, lol.

I get what you're saying but I support a lot of people in a thread and it really is best for us.  Not everybody has your level of proficiency.  I also really like the graphical interface, after all, isn't it what Macs are all about?  :-)

 

I also really like the serial number tools.

We do NOT develop clover configurator, so saying anything about it here is off topic. If you can't learn XML, you should not be doing this... If you don't want to edit it directly you can use PLIST editor from Xcode, to just add/edit key(s) and dictionary(ies)/value(s).

I understand that and I am perfectly comfortable editing plists.  In fact, the Nuvoton NCT6798D & NCT679BD sensors that I added to the VirtualSMC package was merged this morning.  Don't get me wrong, it can't even be called programming but my point is that I have no issues with editing a .plist, I was merely talking saying GUI tools are nice.

 

I was in no way trying to upset or offend you.
