@Andrey1970 Correct me if im wrong but is FwRuntimeServices.efi supposed to be removed from sample.plist like VirtualSmc.efi ?

It doesn't seem to be included in any of the supposed packages and description said it was moved to OpenCore which is fine but the sample.plist confused me so I just wanted to know if it should be removed from sample.plist or is the efi needed and forgot to include it ?

it is included in OpenCore-0.5.4-RELEASE.zip/EFI/OC/Drivers/FwRuntimeServices.efi, check check again.

Is it possible to run native NVRAM on Z390 with OC 0.5.4?

 

No.

GB5 scores went from an average of 1080sc/4650mc to 1250sc/4950mc. The only difference has been upgrading from OC 0.5.3 to OC 0.5.4 and all related support files and kexts. Possible that I had something incorrectly configured in the old version that got corrected in the new version? potentially, but all I did was add the new config parameters to my old config.plist, as well as the aforementioned switch from manual platform info to automatic platform info.

 

illusion, geek bench can't fully utilize CPU during benchmark. Cinebench is more accurate

Is is possible to get good performance from OC when booting from a on-board Marvell 88SE9172 SATA Controller on Z77X-UD5H board? When boot drive is connected to this controller, loading to the OC picker menu takes 20+ minutes. Using Intel 7 series port takes seconds. Clover doesn't have this problem so it seems it must be related to some differences in .efi drivers. I currently have only ApfsDriverLoader, FWRuntimeServices, & HFSPlus drivers on OC 0.5.4. Do I need other drivers?

Planning to update to OpenCore 0.5.4 from 0.5.3. I've checked the docs and there are a couple of new entries in the config.plist. Is it mandatory to add these entries to my existing config.plist? They are set to False so I think it doesn't matter but still better to be safe.

Also, do I have to compile and use the SSDT***.dsl included in the release package or they're just the same. I cannot seem to find any info that those were changed/updated as well.

 

Thanks.

you have to compile dsl to aml in order to use them, MaciASL can do the job. You'd better add those items to your config.plist in order to keep update with it.

Hello All!

Getting into OC and feeling a little intimidated. I've always struggled with modifying DSDT or SSDT protocol. Everywhere I look I still am having a hard time figuring out "what is what" in my ACPI tables. I'm using a different motherboard than a lot of the motherboards here (ASrock X299 OC Formula).

I saw that KGP had a basic guide on How to create or modify a simple System SSDT.aml by means of DSDT and IOREG ACPI information. However, his website is down (permanently it looks like). I was able to find a version of it using web archives and thought I'd post it here. It was helpful for me to understand it a little better.

So here is my setup

I am a motion graphics artist and use the GPUs for 3D rendering. MacOS>Windows haha

Clover Bootloader
High Sierra 17G10021 Newest as of 1/10/20
ASrock X299 OC Formula
Intel 9900X
64GB Corsair RGB Vengence Pro
GTX 1080ti in PCIe SLOT-1
GTX 1080ti in PCIe SLOT-3
GTX 1080ti in PCIe SLOT-5
Fenvi T919 in PCIe SLOT-7
Samsung EVO 970 500GB NVME in SLOT M2_1


MACIASL is only showing 5 PCIe slots I think (screenshot attached)
CPUs are mapped weird it think (screenshot attached)
2 of the GRFX cards are thinking they are connected to the same PCIe slot maybe (screenshot attached)

I'm looking for help in the right direction. I know I can do the work, it just hasn't clicked in my head yet. 

If anyone is wanting to take a crack at it, I can provide a RAW DSDT.aml or anything else you might need. Thank you and I love this community.

Also, I have a CUDA issue that causes random reboots on my machine. Only CUDA, the web drivers are fine. The only way to stop it temporarily is to unload CUDA (per a script) when working day to day and then loading CUDA when I need to use it. Once it's loaded, my computer is unstable and will crash sometimes. Hoping OpenCore might help with everything in order.

Shot in the dark but possibly PCIE2 and PCIE6 are on the X299 chipset instead of PCIE bus?

And do any of the PCIE slots share bandwith with other MB features? (M2 slots etc)?

Sorted out my config.plis, got Serialize compiled..... was a wrong Data written in ROM Generic Section of Platform Data.

So not critical, and now clean.

Thanks again Vit9696 and Download-Fritz

How did you locate the error based on the output from the Serialized tool? I have the same OCS error early in my boot sequence, but I was not able to see any error message when passing the config.plist to the Serialized tool...

Cuda has always been causing kernel panics on high sierra. So i doubt it will be fixed with oc. It has to do with apple implementing metal afaik.

 

but if you succeed, please let me know :)

Question/Issue with PlatformInfo:

I followed the OpenCore Vanilla Desktop Guide, which directed me to fill in the following info for PlatformInfo section:
 

Automatic: True
Generic:
    MLB: C02221405J9F2FR1M (iMac13,2 via GenSMBIOS)
    Rom: (mac address)
    SpoofVendor: True
    SupportsCSM: False

    SystemSerialNumber: C02HR7Z3DNCW (iMac13,2 via GenSMBIOS)

UpdateSMBIOS: True
UpdateSMBIOSMode: Create (also tried Overwrite)

My assumption was OC would insert this information only, or possibly use a database to generate other fields (Product Name, Version, Chassis Handle, Type, etc.)

However, when I run dmidecode, the output finds a bunch of info for a Macbook10,1

* Where is OpenCore getting the Macbook10,1 info from and how do I update it?

* Is the Automatic setting not able to populate the correct information for the additional fields, or is it broken/misconfigured?

* If that is not the role of 'Automatic' can I assume I am expected to enter all of those additional fields manually into config.plist?

* If so, what is a good source to find the correct values for each field?

* Should the Desktop Guide be updated to include a solution for this issue?

 

Thanks!

It is nonsense. Check your config.plist in PlistEdit. Don't use OpenCore Configurator.

I have never used OpenCore Configurator. My config was hand made in ProperTree following the OpenCore Vanilla Desktop Guide. This is why I'm so confused about where the Macbook10,1 info is coming from. It really seems like there is a bug. But I certainly could have made a mistake.

 

What is the expected behavior when PlatformInfo > Automatic = True, & and Generic variables are accurate for iMac13,2?

 

Any chance you could take a quick look at my config? Thank you
