Hey Jackokie, what error are you getting? what machine spec do you have?

Hey Jackokie, what error are you getting? what machine spec do you have?

Hi, my notebook's cpu is i5 version, and I make the same bois configure as you. After making the install media, I copied your EFI folder to the install disk. And then, I reboot the computer to install it. However, the notebook is stay in the apple welcome figure, which disturb me for a long time. I have replace the EFI folder with other persons' project(e.g. tylernguyen), but it still can't work. I think it might be the reason for the Clover configure. Could you please help me to solve my problem? Thanks a lot. Thanks♪(･ω･)ﾉ

As far as I know, AirportBrcmFixup is the critical kext for enabling DW1560 Wi-Fi card in macOS. That kernel extensions is dependent on Lilu.kext , therefore you may need to check whether you a copy of Lilu.kext and AirportBrcmFixup.kext in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Others/ folder, or in /Library/Extensions/ folder.

@JackokieZhao I believe you can read Chinese, this is the guide for you. https://blog.daliansky.net/DW1820A_BCM94350ZAE-driver-inserts-the-correct-posture.html

I have found a problem in the repository, I will issue an update soon. The next update will include OpenCore configuration and updated README guides (with traditional Chinese translation maybe)

@Colton-Ko
Can you please test the TB3 with OC? In my case it is an instant freeze. (detail here: tylernguyen/x1c6-hackintosh#24)

Also if you have a moment, can you post your power consumption here:
tylernguyen/x1c6-hackintosh#28

[Colton-Ko]

My TB3 is working perfectly with OC. You may check out my new OC config. (Just uploaded).

[velaar]

@Colton-Ko Interesting. With your config I'm still getting an instant kernel crash on TB device connect. Can only operate with the device plugged in and initialized in bios and disabled SSDT for TB3. Any pointers?

@velaar I have completed the necessary tests in #6 with commit dc5fbc3, it is found that the front Type-C thunderbolt 3 port has hot-plugging functionality lost.

The below are my BIOS configuration related to Thunderbolt 3,

Path: 								Config/Thunderbolt (TM) 3/

Thunderbolt Security Level: 					No Security
Thunderbolt 3 BIOS Assistant: 					Disabled
Support in Pre Boot Environment: Thunderbolt (TM) device: 	Pre-boot ACL

My Thunderbolt Device is ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Dock (Type 40AC)

[velaar]

My device is an eGPU (Razer Core X + RX590), so things are a but more involved. It works without hot-plug and it did work with hot plug on your Clover TB3 setup.

I'm wondering what has changed. Do you disable virtualization/VT-d? Do you have CSM on or off?

I have CSM on, I enabled Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) but disabled Virtualization for Directed IO (VT-d), I also have CSM on (to support Windows 7 booting in my setup)

It may be related to the SSDTs, because I no longer use a single DSDT.aml for static APCI patching. I changed them to individual SSDT patches. I suspect the cause of the problem is related to the SSDT patches for EC?

@JackokieZhao I had a Dell DW1820A... and couldn't boot at all... so I take it off. and it's booting.. so I am going to get another card .. you can try doing that.

@JackokieZhao @hexprojectgit I have added the config for DW1820A in this repo. Please check out post/Config-DW1820A.plist and test it out. Thank you!
