You're right @deeveedee Since few years, I use SSDT for USB Ports. Because USBMap.kext has model key depending of SMBIOS.

 

For example, at the end of Info.plist

<key>model</key>
<string>iMac19,1</string>

 

 

Easy convert old kext , es. USBPorts.kext , with USBMapInjectorEdit.command

( USBMap corpnewt )

 

U     Update keys for macOS Tahoe 

 

S      Simbios Targets

@Anto65 Nice use of spoilers!

 

EDIT: I think Matgen84 is saying that he prefers to use USB SSDT instead of the mapping kext.  I see others have this same preference.  I think it's just a personal choice.

Yes, I've always had SSDT (from my ACPI ), I think, more native and always evergreen. I've recently experimented with USBKexts, just to try it out.
In any case, if any have an old Kexts and want to make it compatible with Tahoe or change the Smbios, I think the method above is the easiest way to do it. 😉

@Anto65 This is OT, but you might want to tell Apple what is and is not "more native."  macOS Tahoe still includes /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBHostFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBHostPlatformProperties.kext to map USB ports

 

AppleUSBHostPlatformProperties.kext

The "more Vanilla" and "more Native" arguments seldom make sense to me.  I love the fact that creativity has spawned so may different working solutions.

I have yet to go that deep in IOUSBHostFamily.kext.

Just curious, does it have the 2 new keys "usb-port-number, usb-port"?

I don't have access to any of my comp atm

[deeveedee]

@LockDown We're going to need a new thread for a USB mapping debate   Keep in mind that AppleUSBHostPlatformProperties.kext is for real Macs, so it only needs to re-map what isn't already specified in the real Mac's ACPI.  Here's a macOS port map for iMac20,1:

I usually put the ? on "more native" ... I put it now, I hadn't done it before

It's a good practice.  Hopefully we're all learning something new every day.

@deevveedee. would you be so kind as to look at my config.plist

the reason I'm asking is that I have expermented with injecting  the details from the info plist of my USB map kext. to device propriety's of my efi config.plist

it works in that. I now don't need to use the usbmap kext.

but I now don't see the usb ports in Hackintosh tools but can see them in the system report

I mite not have a path right . don't know

What is the disk speed tester called

Tried again Migration Assistant on Tahoe with success.

• Clear install over a blank disk
• Get data from another Mac at the end of installation
• Migrations starts
• Migration ends
• Reboot
• window say Migration Assistant has ended
• data of the other disk is now in the new disk.

I'm not doing anything different than I've always done; it works just like that. I don't know why it's failing on your system.

Please: What do you call the end of the installation? Right after choosing the language and before creating an account, or after everything is ready with the account created and after logging in? Welcome screen, etc.
Thank you for your attention.

Note: I'm using a local account and not an AppleID, but I don't think that changes anything.

I'm not seeing any problems with USB mapping after the Tahoe Beta 3 -> Beta 4 upgrade.  My USBPorts.kext is the original USBPorts.kext generated by Hackintool (used since macOS Catalina) with only the addition of usb-port-type and usb-port-number.  The map has only 15 USB ports.

 

 

  How many ports are in your USB port map?

I have more then 15 enabled and used the same USBMap.kext from Beta 1 with no issues until now.

I tried a clean install yesterday and used Migration assistant as well form another disk installed and it completes but I get maybe 3 reboots before I get tired and quit it. How many times does yours reboot?

In my case I would say it restarts infinitely because I had to interrupt (after 8x) it with cmd+Q and nothing was migrated.

Same, after 3 reboots I quit and nothing had moved to new disk. I used it for beta 1 and 2 and it worked properly then so not sure if something changed for certain desktops

Yes, it is annoying. Especially mail app menu changing dark and light mode as I scroll. Maybe a beta 4 bug?

@sam298
I will wait for the final version, but if you install the Public Beta version, even though it is the same build (25A5316i), please let me know if the problem goes away.

I tried that in Beta 3 as well, but it didn't work.
In Beta 4, I tried Migration Assistant with the sources: Time Machine and Another Tahoe Installation, but it didn't work, as I explained earlier.
OMG!
