rio2 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) I recently installed High Sierra on my Ryzen system, just to find out how crappy the USB situation really is on AMD systems. The only choice is basically most of your ports flat out not working or GenericUSBXHCI crashing every time you pull out a thumbdrive. So after some trial and error here are my findings. The USB ports controlled by the XHCI controller on the SoC worked fine, but the ones attached to the chipset XHCI controller didn't. That's when I looked at the log and saw these lines: PTXH@00000000: AppleUSBXHCIPCI::createPorts: port 1 unsupported protocol USB 03.10 PTXH@00000000: AppleUSBXHCIPCI::createPorts: failed to allocate port 1 It turns out that for some reason the AppleXHCIPCI driver doesn't support the first two ports on the B350 chipset (made by ASMedia) USB controller. And after the driver fails to allocate port 1 it just stops and doesn't even look at the rest of the ports. So I first tried commenting out the first two ports from the DSDT and that worked and made all the other ports show app in the IOService tree. Than I quickly tested all the USB ports and it turns out that the 2 problematic ports aren't even wired to anything. But instead of editing the DSDT I wanted a cleaner solution, because I don't want to re-edit my DSDT every time I update the BIOS or change some BIOS settings. So here is my small SSDT that disables the stock PTXH device and adds a new device XHCI, that has all the ports needed for my board (ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS). DefinitionBlock ("SSDT-PRIME-B350-PLUS.aml", "SSDT", 1, "APPLE", "tinySSDT", 0x00000006) { External (\_SB_.PCI0.GPP2, DeviceObj) External (\_SB_.PCI0.GPP2.PTXH, DeviceObj) Scope (\_SB_.PCI0.GPP2.PTXH) { Name (_STA, Zero) } Scope (\_SB_.PCI0.GPP2) { Device (XHCI) { Name (_ADR, Zero) Device (RHUB) { Name (_ADR, Zero) // USB3.1 back panel Device (PRT1) { Name (_ADR, 0x5) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, 0x03, Zero, Zero }) } Device (PRT2) { Name (_ADR, 0x6) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, 0x03, Zero, Zero }) } // USB3.0 front panel Device (PRT3) { Name (_ADR, 0x7) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, 0x03, Zero, Zero }) } Device (PRT4) { Name (_ADR, 0x8) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, 0x03, Zero, Zero }) } // USB2.0 Device (PRT5) { Name (_ADR, 0x9) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, Zero, Zero, Zero }) } Device (PRT6) { Name (_ADR, 0xa) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, Zero, Zero, Zero }) } Device (PRT7) { Name (_ADR, 0xb) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, Zero, Zero, Zero }) } Device (PRT8) { Name (_ADR, 0xc) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, Zero, Zero, Zero }) } Device (PRT9) { Name (_ADR, 0xd) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, Zero, Zero, Zero }) } Device (PRTA) { Name (_ADR, 0xe) Name (_UPC, Package (0x04) { 0xFF, Zero, Zero, Zero }) } } } } } Please note that this is just an example and it most likely needs to be changed for your board.

Shaneee Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Nice work. Could you help me test this on my board. It's the Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3. Attached is the IOReg with GenericUSBXHCI injected. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7778f7h93xz4n2w/Shaneee’s Mac Pro.ioreg.zip?dl=0 Edit: got it working by changing GPP2 to GPP1. USB ports don't show in System Profiler till something is plugged in and USB 3.0 speed isn't what it should be. This is a 3.0 device in a 3.0 port, Ultra: Product ID: 0x5581 Vendor ID: 0x0781 (SanDisk Corporation) Version: 1.00 Serial Number: 4C531001600421108303 Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec Manufacturer: SanDisk Location ID: 0x00200000 / 2 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): Unknown (Device has not been configured) Capacity: 62.11 GB (62,109,253,632 bytes) Removable Media: Yes Detachable Drive: Yes BSD Name: disk5 Built-In: Yes Partition Map Type: GPT (GUID Partition Table) Volumes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if all ports show up in IOReg and work without GenericUSBXHCI and/or injector kexts than it's working and yes I just found out about the speed issue yesterday, but I couldn't figure out what is cousing it yet. It's normal if the ports don't show in the system profiles if the root hub does show up. IORegistryExplorer.app_2.1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technotronsky Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Could you guys help me out with my ASUS X470-I Gaming MoBo? I closely followed https://github.com/XLNCs/ryzenusbfix/blob/master/ManualGuide.md but I just can't my USB ports to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdTnator Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 How to do this on a ryzen laptop, I don't see any PTXH in my dsdt? My usb camera is detected, but usb modem and tethering does not work when I use GenericXHCI kext, and I can't boot without it, though sometimes I can boot without it, and when that happens all usb devices show up in system info and work normally. But, the problem is there is that I haven't been able to find how I am able to boot sometimes without this kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
