frankynov Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hello, I believe my issue is similar to the other topic here but I didn't want to pollute it as it is slightly different config, let me know if I should merge it I am using a nuc-like config, a Trigkey Speed S1 Mini PC, which is a clone of another one called Beelink SEI8. Not an ideal config I have to admit as the documentation is almost inexistant. On the other hand, the BIOS setup has pages and pages of tons of content that I never saw before, quite positive. So, I have an issue with the graphics acceleration on that machine. Being a Coffee Lake and Iris 655 and similar to the other topic above, I believe it is a laptop CPU embedded on a desktop board. Dortania guide mentions regularly that we should consider the NUC as laptops. I am using a MacMini8,1 SMBIOS as recommended too, with OpenCore and kext's from July 2022. The machine has 2 HDMI ports, I connect 1 HDMI screen via an HDMI cable with no adapter involved. Here is my frame buffer settings that allow me to boot with these parameters in low performance mode : -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 -wegnoegpu -igfxonln=1 -igfxvesa <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)</key> <dict> <key>AAPL,ig-platform-id</key> <data> CQClPg== </data> <key>device-id</key> <data> pT4AAA== </data> <key>disable-agdc</key> <data> AQAAAA== </data> <key>enable-hdmi20</key> <data> AQAAAA== </data> <key>force-online</key> <data> AQAAAA== </data> <key>framebuffer-con1-busid</key> <data> BQAAAA== </data> <key>framebuffer-con1-enable</key> <data> AQAAAA== </data> <key>framebuffer-con1-pipe</key> <data> EgAAAA== </data> <key>framebuffer-con1-type</key> <data> AAgAAA== </data> <key>framebuffer-con2-busid</key> <data> BAAAAA== </data> <key>framebuffer-con2-enable</key> <data> AQAAAA== </data> <key>framebuffer-con2-pipe</key> <data> EgAAAA== </data> <key>framebuffer-con2-type</key> <data> AAQAAA== </data> <key>framebuffer-patch-enable</key> <data> AQAAAA== </data> <key>hda-gfx</key> <string>onboard-1</string> <key>igfxfw</key> <data> AgAAAA== </data> <key>model</key> <string>Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655</string> </dict> Whenever I remove the -igfxvesa boot argument, I'm getting a black screen. I can type in the blind my password, open a terminal and reboot so macOS works, but no screen at all. In Hackintool I can see the following regarding the GPU/Screen : Regarding the screen : And the connectors. I don't like the Red line on the first input, but I have to admit I don't know how to read that. Hackintool is a bit confusing for someone like me who don't decompile ACPI code on a daily basis I would really appreciate some help here ! For sure the config is not easy, I did multiple hacks before including AMD Ryzen and it was quite straight forward, but this one is giving me so much headaches ! Thanks !

frankynov Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Just realized that it might help with the following content. You will find my EFI (without the serial numbers) with the IOReg extract and system preferences. EFI : EFI with all kext IOREG : IOREg and system info extract Also, a photo of the BIOS regarding the graphics section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Baio, Many thanks for trying to help me. I gave a go on the EFI folder, reset NVRAM, but unfortunately it doesn't boot at all, looks like it's stuck after SMCSuperIO. It is physically a desktop - there is no builtin screen but I believe it is using a CPU/GPU combination that is usually found on laptops.

This is what I get from the HWiNFO64 on Windows, and I have uploaded the full HTML report here if you want to check out : CPU Name : Intel Core i3-8109U Let me know if you need further info !

frankynov Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Hi everyone So I have updated all my kext to the latest stable versions, also OpenCore to 0.8.3. Sadly that didn't improve my issues with the graphics acceleration. With all the details I posted above, would someone be able to have a look on how I can maybe progress on that ? Again don't hesitate if you need further info, dumps, etc. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
