Experimental Fork of OCLP 3.0.0 Nightly – modern Wi-Fi, AWDL and AppleHDA Fully Working under Tahoe

[kgp]

Hi guys, for anybody interested in the current Intel awdl0 / AirDrop debugging status, functionality and remaining limitations with AirportItlwm-Ventura, I posted a technical update here: https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/issues/1062#issuecomment-4925166580

HI @kgp

which Heliport repo are you using?

Hi @LockDown ,

for my earlier itlwm/HeliPort tests, I used HeliPort 1.5.0 from the official OpenIntelWireless repository:

https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/HeliPort

 

Just to avoid any confusion: my current experimental OCLP/AirportItlwm setup described here does not use HeliPort. HeliPort is only required when using itlwm.kext.

 

I am currently working privately on my own AirportItlwm development branch, using @DexterSLamb’s itlwm/AirportItlwm fork merely as the initial code base:

https://github.com/DexterSLamb/itlwm

My own work specifically focuses on AWDL/AirDrop functionality. These modifications are not part of Dexter’s fork, and none of my own development work has been published yet.

Keep it coming @kgp 👌

If I recall, there was a fork of itlwm trying to merge all the patches into a single AirportItlwm. can't seem to find it anymore

So, I feel obligated to let you all know that I tried installing this on Tahoe 6.6-B5 and it locked up my computer, hard.  It would not boot at all, so I had to restore from backup (from another installation-Ventura, to be exact).

 

I installed - OCLP 3.0.0 Nightly – amfipassbeta Edition and my frustration with this is that I could not recover, or uninstall as my computer would not boot.

 

The computer is an Asus Z790 D5, with 64G of DDR5 Ram, 6800XT video card, and the disk was a WD SN850X

@meg2014, I am sorry to hear that you experienced this problem.

 

However, without your complete EFI folder and further diagnostic information, it is impossible for me to determine what caused the system to become unbootable. Simply stating that the OCLP 3.0.0 Nightly – amfipassbeta Edition was used is not sufficient, since the result also depends on the complete EFI configuration, the actual Wi-Fi and audio hardware, the KDK used, and the existing macOS installation.

 

Before drawing any conclusions or assigning responsibility to the patcher, please provide your complete EFI folder, exact details of the Wi-Fi and audio hardware involved, and, if available, a photo showing where verbose boot stopped.

 

My guide provides clear instructions on setup, EFI folder configuration, necessary precautions, and recovery procedures in the event of failed root patching. Without examining the actual configuration, I cannot determine whether the patcher itself was responsible or what may have gone wrong in this particular case.
