Thanks, i usually update my EFI with newer version of OpenCore and other kextss so this could be the case but my Trash is empty right now. How i can check if the trash's EFI partition is full of old files ?

deeveedee Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) According to Dortania Guide, USBX is required for USB power properties as an OC post-install step. If we have USB power properties in USBPorts.kext, is USBX required? I've seen multiple discussions about this topic (maybe even earlier in this thread), but there seem to be as many opinions as there are posts. My last two rigs have a custom USB port map (USBPorts.kext) that includes USB power properties. I update USBPorts.kext/Contents/Info.plist with the matching USB power properties for my selected SMBIOS (extracted from a real Mac ACPI). I don't inject Device (USBX) on these rigs and USB seems to work perfectly (with the correct power properties in IORegistry). What's the latest recommended way to configure USB power properties: Device (USBX) or USBPorts.kext?

Its up to you how you want to implement it, USBX ACPI way takes the same properties and applies it to all XHC controllers in the system, where as the injector kext requires the properties to be assigned to each XHC controller individually. 2 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350754-opencore-general-discussion/page/268/#findComment-2755595 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems he's suggesting to use both USBX and kext injector, see point 3: https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/1609#issuecomment-819087443 In my case USBX only didn't apply correctly power properties, I didn't try only the kext, I'm using both and it's working as it should. 3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350754-opencore-general-discussion/page/268/#findComment-2755620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost8282 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) For completeness here is a link related to my previous issue: If you look particularly at the image below "Moreover the usb properties here don't look correct...:", you will find that power properties for my xhci fresco were wrong with only USBX, and that was fixed only by injecting power properties within the usb map kext. PS: I hope Hervé will not be too much angry, as this is slightly off topic..!

deeveedee Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) @ghost8282 - Maybe this short discussion gets moved to the existing USB Problems thread where we spoke before; however, I think that as long as there are differences between OC documentation and reality, the discussion deserves a place in this thread. If there's no harm in specifying identical USB Power Properties in both USBX (SSDT injection) and USBPorts.kext (and if in fact there are cases where only one or the other is appropriate), I'm leaning toward specifying the properties in both as a result of these latest comments.

Yes it should be, but when they had the .wav files it was huge if you put the sounds in there too. I forget what the size was but trying to have couple of versions of the loader in it was near impossible without removing the excess languages.

It's off topic but you can do it by the /etc/fstab file. In Terminal % > sudo pico /etc/fstab Fstab can have entries relative to volumes so that they are mounted or not when starting macOS. Although it is a deprecated file, that by default in Big Sur is empty, it still works for this function. Write in fstab:LABEL=EFI none msdos rw, auto Save it with Ctrl + O and exit with Ctrl + W. Reboot. When booting, the EFI partition should be on your desktop. Disadvantage: if you have more than one EFI partition, they all will appear on the desktop. In this case, UUID must be used instead of Label.
