Can somebody remove the two errors... i don't know a lot about DSDT... i would love to get my USB3 working....

 

Or can someone explain what the 2 errors are? I can not compile it....

 
Like most of us... the USB3 ports are working .... only with usb2 devices... when connecting a usb3 device, it is just not found...

 

 

Upload the .dsl, not the .aml.  When I complied what you uploaded, I had over 200 errors.  That's common.

@shot - i had a similar issue not long ago - seems like i got a newer IASL compiler and was able to decompile without getting a bunch of lines "zero" lines and errors. it maybe that the compiler is too old to decompile the .aml file properly so i would try that.  the IASL in the MacIASL you used is from 2012.

 

you may want create a port injector to define your ports vs doing it in DSDT.

Thanks, I downloaded the now the version on Insanely Mac..... and update my new DSDT.dsl

this is the .dsl file... i can not make an .aml file of it... got errors....

I tried that with the dummy kext but no USB worked then at all no USB2 nor USB3 ... i renamed it in my dummy kext to XHC and removed te ports.

Normally al ports works even the USB3 ones only not with USB3 devices... Also tried with different smbios

are you decompiling something like this?

 

# iasl -dl -e ssdt*.aml -d dsdt.aml

 

which means you decompile in context of all ACPI tables. and it will spit out legacy code which is less likely to emit errors upon recompile.

 

see the comment in your .dsl file

 

 

 

   /*

     * iASL Warning: There were 12 external control methods found during
     * disassembly, but additional ACPI tables to resolve these externals
     * were not specified. This resulting disassembler output file may not
     * compile because the disassembler did not know how many arguments
     * to assign to these methods. To specify the tables needed to resolve
     * external control method references, the -e option can be used to
     * specify the filenames. Note: SSDTs can be dynamically loaded at
     * runtime and may or may not be available via the host OS.
     * Example iASL invocations:
 
     *     iasl -e ssdt*.aml -d dsdt.aml

Well.... i don't know i used MaciASL here in the downloads from september 2015 and clicked on new -> from DSDT

and then tried to compile it, so i can use it with Clover....

 

 

for the injector where is this placed? In the root of /S/L/E or elsewhere within the IOUSB kext ?

 

thanks

in S/L/E otherwise it won't work at all.

Extremely confused about getting USB working on El Capitan with Asus X99 Deluxe MB.
 
I read that ASMedia chipsets are not supported yet, period.
I read somewhere else that someone had it working OOB on the ASMedia ports.
 
Anyway, I have an Asus X99 Deluxe with i7 5820K and working great under Yosemite (GenericUSBXHCI + Clover USBFix). All USB ports are working as they are supposed.
 
Under El Capitan, it is a totally different story… Only two USB3.0/2.0 rear ports are working, all others are off. I thought that it was the Intel USB ports from the X99 chipset, and all the non working ones the ASMedia controlled ones.
 
It appears that it is not the case!
 
The Asus X99 Deluxe has 8 rear USB 3.0/2.0 ports and 2 USB2.0 ports. There is 2 internal USB3.0 headers and 2 USB2.0 headers. I am using both USB3.0 internal header for the front panel of my PC case, giving me 3 USB3.0 plugs and a SD card reader.
 
Here is the back of the Asus X99 Deluxe: 
wireless.jpg
 
Here are the official specifications: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/X99DELUXE/specifications/ where we can read:

Intel® X99 chipset :
4 x USB 3.0/2.0 port(s) (4 at mid-board
Intel® X99 chipset :
6 x USB 2.0/1.1 port(s) (2 at back panel, , 4 at mid-board)
ASMedia® USB 3.0 controller :
10 x USB 3.0/2.0 port(s) (10 at back panel, blue)

 
And here: http://techreport.com/review/26973/asus-x99-deluxe-motherboard-reviewed an interesting article indicating that:

Another ASMedia controller powers the two USB 3.0 ports on the left side of the rear cluster. The other eight ports are driven by just two USB connections in the chipset, each of which is shared via a four-way ASMedia hub.

 

I also tried every port with a USB3.0 thumbdrive, and found this:

MB rear USB ports (cf picture):
                            ___
USB2.0:                   5|___|                   \
                            ___                     | Intel X99 chipset (direct)
USB2.0:                   6|___|                   /
--------------------------------------------------
        |   ___    ___  |   ___    ___  |   ___  
USB3.0: | 9|___| 7|___| | 5|___| 3|___| | 1|___|   \
        |   ___    ___  |   ___    ___  |   ___     | ASMedia Controller
USB3.0: |10|___| 8|___| | 6|___| 4|___| | 2|___|   /
        |               |               |
        |  ASM107x HUB  |  ASM107x HUB  | direct (no hub)
        |               |               |

On Yosemite, I was able to figure out that USB3.0 ports 1 and 2 are direct ports to the ASMedia controller, and they are the only ones working on El Capitan (USB2 and USB3 devices)!!!

USB3.0 ports 3, 4, 5 and 6 are under an ASM107x hub. Hub is shown under Yosemite (System Info), not under El Capitan.

USB3.0 ports 7, 8, 9 and 10 are under another ASM107x hub. Again showing under Yosemite, not El Capitan.

USB2.0 ports 5 and 6 are direct Intel X99 chipset, not working under El Capitan.

USB3.0 front ports (from mid-board) are direct Intel X99 chipset, not working under El Capitan.

 

I know from reading the forums that the ASM107x can be recognized, since it is only a hub, and someone got it working OOB.

I know that the Intel chipset should be recognized by El Capitan.

The ASMedia chipset is not supposed to be working under El Capitan, but the only 2 ports working for me are controlled by ASMedia chipset (not hub).

 

I use the same DSDT under Yosemite and El Capitan. I removed port limitations editing El Capitan kext, without success.

 

Any idea on how to fix that?

Thank you for your attention and your help.

 

Attached is the original BIOS DSDT.

Has anybody made progress getting Renesas chipsets to work? Mine are detected but are unusably slow. Am trying some tweaks with the injector kexts but not much in the way of progress yet.

 

Does anybody have a chipset (any, ideally not-intel though) that works properly and via AppleUSBXHCIPCI proper (there are several different iomatch sections in that kext)? I need an IOReg so I can see how it looks on a working machine.

I'm probably wrong on this, but it did throw an error on my system.

 

If you have a minute, can you please update me on MacIASL installation (the /usr/bin/iasl command I'm talking about) - can't figure it out :-(

 

(Sorry for the off-topic remark).

 

TIA

Try this DSDT. All I did was rename EHC1/EHC2 to EH01/EH02 & change _OSI to simulate OS X as Windows 8.1. Post an IOReg afterwards.

I did try the EHC1/EHC2 to EH01/EH02, with a kext_injector and IOJones shows the change is successful. Does not change my problem (only 2 ports working).

However, I did not change _OSI, so I will try that, and post IOReg afterwards.

 

Just tried the provided DSDT. Not working, same problem.

It is like all USB ports from intel chipset are not activated, and all ports behind the ASM107x hubs are not activated either.

 

IOReg is attached.

decompile the aml file and the search for EUSB and USBE -- those seem to be your USB2 devices on address 1D and 1A.

 

if i were you, I would just create an usb port injector type kext vs mucking with DSDT.

Can someone explain how to properly inject hubs like this?

Thanks

 

 

Hello!

Trying to make port restriction on laptop.

 

Added ports to dummy kext, but USB still not working.

Can someone tell what i doing wrong?

 

SMBIOS is MacBookPro 9,2

Attached DSDT and Info.plist from DummyEHCI

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right but for my Z68AP-D3 it works like this:

For this you'll need to remove all ports from "MacBookPro9,2-EHC1" but "PRT1", that correspond to the higher level one on your DSDT. Then create another section called MacBookPro9,2-EHC1-PRT1-hub with all your ports inside. Beware the keys on this hub are a bit different, here's an example:

		<key>MacBookPro8,3-EH01-PR10-hub</key>
		<dict>
			<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
			<string>com.apple.driver.AppleUSBMergeNub</string>
			<key>IOClass</key>
			<string>AppleUSBMergeNub</string>
			<key>IOProbeScore</key>
			<integer>5000</integer>
			<key>IOProviderClass</key>
			<string>AppleUSB20InternalHub</string>
			<key>IOProviderMergeProperties</key>
			<dict>
				<key>port-count</key>
				<data>
				CAAAAA==
				</data>
				<key>ports</key>
				<dict>
					<key>PRT1</key>
					<dict>
						<key>UsbConnector</key>
						<integer>255</integer>
						<key>port</key>
						<data>
						AQAAAA==
						</data>
					</dict>
                                        . . . 
				</dict>
			</dict>
			<key>locationID</key>
			<integer>487587840</integer>
			<key>model</key>
			<string>MacBookPro8,3</string>
		</dict>

I'm not sure about having 2 PRT1 items, perhaps you'll have to rename one on your DSDT and plist to something else. And remember that if you rename the higher PRT1 one then MacBookPro9,2-EHC1-PRT1-hub must be renamed accordingly.

Do your USB3 ports work?

Yes but only with USB3 devices.

Interesting. According to the specifications, you have Etron EJ168 chipset. Nonetheless I'll try it with my board, when I'm at home again.

iMac16,x and iMac17,x are still no where to be found in the 10.11.1 USB kexts.

What are their board-id's?
