@nmano Theres unofficial ci builds out there that you might want to try https://github.com/williambj1/OpenCore-Factory/releases

[Guest]

@nmano you can also use OC EFI maker you can find on macOS86.it

with it you can build easily Opencore latest release or beta or debug version in few click

Choose iMac13,2 instead of MacPro5,1

Thank you Slice, but it is actually MacPro5,1 (real Mac). By changing the board-id to iMacPro1,1 I get full HEVC decode/encode. I tried iMac13,2 it does not work for this purpose. MacPro7,1 board-Id in Cat 10.15.1 panics too. I guess because of the dual CPU's I have.

Hello everyone.

 

First of all, thanks to all devs for sharing their time and skills to build this.

 

I have noticed some minor quirks or maybe just misconfigurations on my hack. Nevertheless, it works perfectly.

 

1. I don't see any drive or partitions in the OpenCore menu. I think I missed something here. Again, my hack boots and works fine after the 5 seconds wait time. I just really don't see any partitions/drives.
2. I have a 2-3 second black screen before showing the Apple logo and progress bar during boot. With Clover, I have set it to autoload my macOS drive and so upon powering on, I can immediately see the Apple logo and progress bar. It goes to 75% then blinks* then continues to boot to 100%. I think I've read this somewhere that the boot has 2 parts. So, with OpenCore, I'm only seeing the second part of the boot process. Not a big deal but it gives the impression that it's not working because of the black screen.

@insanefrancis 1. Probably ScanPolicy, carefully adapt it or set it to 0.

2. Boot verbose

I'm trying to get working nvram on Gigabyte 300 series but with no success. I've already fixed KP at restart/shutdown but still not able to save nvram variables.

 

I think that my problem is related to LegacySchema (?), once I cannot understand how to set this parameter.

 

At this point (0.5.2), can anybody tell me what is needed to get emulated nvram?

 

Thanks.

[Mike Ranger]

Seems most are on newer Mainboards and CPUs.

I am (still) using a X99 board...anyone was able to get OC booting into a X99 system... or is it advisable to wait for the full OC release?

Thanks, Mike

Hi pitrysha.... very impressive!!

I assume all working very good.

Since you are using VirtualSMC.... do all your temp-sensors work. Particularly the GPU and Fan-Speeds.

Unfortunately I have not found yet a solution enabling all sensors with VirtualSMC vs FakeSMC.

Would you mind sharing your EFI-Folder as well?

Thanks, Mike

@Download-Fritz

1. It is already set to 0. Will try to read other options.

2. Boot verbose? Is this the "-v" equivalent in Clover which shows text instead of the logo?

Correctly transfer your data from the working Clover to OpeCore

Hi pitrysha

Many thanks for sharing!! Will start the conversion in the next couple of days.

I have Catalina 10.15.1
Disable patches for CPU 10.15.1 in the kernel and first use CPUFriend.kext and PMDrvr.kext

[Mike Ranger]

Does CPUFriend provide the same performance as the previous Kernel Patches?

My 6900k would only full perform with full XCPM functionality with the patches.

Will try that thanks.

This is handled by section 7.7 in the configuration.pdf. There are quirks for those (7.7.1, and 7.7.2)

But as stated in the doc, definitely try to patch your CFG LOCK.

not to go back to that 'other' site, but here is a detailed description of the process:

 

 

edit: corrected the document section numbers.

Will provide. Only you need to download PMdr.kext for Broadwell my intended for Haswell

That patch is unnecessary on Gigabyte X299. Sleep/wake functions works perfectly with the "AppleXcpmCfgLock" quirk.

Hi All,

Can anybody help me with a few problems I'm having with my OC EFI please?

Its perfect for Catalina but if I try and boot into windows it BSODS my system instantly and reboots into my bios. (ACPI Bios Error) 

also I have blessed my windows path and in the boot options I have it listed as 1. bootcamp, 2. Catalina, 3. Recovery,  4. windows 10, How do I remove option 1 (bootcamp) and 3 (Recovery) so its just showing as Catalina and Windows 10 (Catalina being the top and default boot option)?

Im really green when it comes to OC but im trying to learn so if anybody can help me or Evan better take a look as my EFI or DSDT and correct it for me that would be just Awesome of you.

Im hoping somebody can help.

Thanks in advance Guys,
