SSDT/DSDT hotpatch attempts.

SSDTTime

A simple tool designed to make creating SSDTs simple. Supports macOS, Linux and Windows

Supported SSDTs:

• SSDT-HPET
  • Patches out IRQ conflicts
• SSDT-EC
  • OS-aware fake EC (laptop and desktop variants)
• SSDT-USBX
  • Provides generic USB power properties
• SSDT-PLUG
  • Sets plugin-type = 1 on CPU0/PR00
• SSDT-PMC
  • Adds missing PMCR device for native 300-series NVRAM
• SSDT-AWAC
  • Disables AWAC clock, and enables (or fakes) RTC as needed
• SSDT-USB-Reset
  • Returns a zero status for detected root hubs to allow hardware querying
• SSDT-Bridge
  • Create missing PCI bridges for passed device path
• SSDT-PNLF
  • Sets up a PNLF device for laptop backlight control
• SSDT-XOSI
  • _OSI rename and patch to return true for a range of Windows versions - also checks for OSID
• DMAR
  • Remove Reserved Memory Regions from the DMAR table

Additionally on Linux and Windows the tool can be used to dump the system DSDT.

Instructions:

Linux:

• Launch SSDTTime.py with any somewhat recent version of Python from either a terminal window or by running the file normally.

macOS:

• Launch SSDTTime.command from either a terminal window or by double clicking the file.

Windows:

• Launch SSDTTime.bat from either a terminal window or by double clicking the file.

ssdttime's Issues

Return value for fake EC

Using the SSDTTime script, I extracted DSDT on Windows and generated FakeEC tables for my Chinese x79 motherboard

Some time later, while studying the instructions, I looked in detail at the source code of ST EC Desktop, which lies in the OpenCore repository
https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/extra-files/decompiled/SSDT-EC-DESKTOP.dsl
and I saw that the returned values in the file from the repository and in the generated file are oppositely different

In the dsl file generated by SSDTTIme, here is a condition with return values:

If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
{
Return (0x0F)
}
Else
{
Return (Zero)
}

And in the dsl file from the OpenCore repository , this is:

https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/extra-files/decompiled/SSDT-EC-DESKTOP.dsl#L560

If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
{
Return (Zero)
}
Else
{
Return (0x0F)
}

Actual questions:

1. Is there a difference between such return values?
2. Which option is correct in this case?

Missing "Dump DSDT" feature in macOS

I tried running it .bat file in Windows 10 and there was an item allowing you to get / extract DSDT from the system.

After installing hackintosh, I decided to work with DSDT and used this script. I tried running the. command file and .py file in macOS Mojave 10.14.6, but there was no "Dump DSDT"option in the list of options.
Why?

.py file:

.command file:

iasl error?

The command doesn't work always giving an iasl error?

Could not locate any ACPI000E devices! SSDT-AWAC not needed!

According to docs of Open Core, if ACPI000E devices not found , But to double check, next search for PNP0B00, after decompile the DSDT.aml i found device PNP0B00

Hello everyone
I came across this error, what should I do?

[macOS Catalina 10.15.6] Can't download iasl

Hi @corpnewt and many thanks for your new update (AWAC and PMC are really useful).
I've updated SSDTTime by recloning your repo and when I launch SSDTTime.command an error is displayed:

Downloading iasl.zip
- Extracting
An error occurred :(
- [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/folders/j_/5cg1hs7j2rl4srlr9c5pjm4h0000gn/T/tmpnioflwtm/tmpush7dk76/iasl.zip'
Something went wrong :( - Aborting!
- Could not locate or download iasl!

I've fixed by manually copying my iasl to Scripts folder.
What can you do to fix this? Can't you attach iasl latest version to the Scripts folder?
Thanks

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Scripts'

No matter I did install the "Scripts" module - even as su, still complaints that can't find them, unless I am missing something there, is it only python2 compatible?

SSDTTime.py closes right away

Hello guys,
When i try to open SSDTTime.py or SSDTTime.bat the cmd window opens, but closes right away. The only thing i can see on the cmd windows is "Downloading iasl-win-20180105.zip" then it closes. I tried re-installing python 3 and also tried to install python 2 but none helped. Is there anyone who can help me ? Thank you.

SSDT-PLUG generation doesn't support _SB_.PR00

The SSDT-PLUG generated by the script seems to only look for CPU0 vs PR00 but in some cases, the scope that PR00 belongs to is _SB, not _PR.

No need to generate the _CRS to XCRS patch for OpenCore

OpenCore applies ACPI replacement/renaming patches after an attempt to implement SSDT in DSDT. In order for this patch to benefit, it needs to be applied before attempting to implement SSDT in DSDT. I wrote about it here - acidanthera/bugtracker#2174

Together (or together with) the generation of this patch, it is better to output a message to the user that he must manually rename _CRS to XCRS in the "Device HPET" area in DSDT. Or display a dialog for the user with a suggestion to change DSDT so that SSDTTime itself replaces _CRS with XCRS in the DSDT file

P.S.
Perhaps the OpenCore developers will satisfy my request and make sure that ACPI patches are applied before the introduction of SSDT, then you can forget about this issue

running Catalina on a hackintosh

Option 4 is missing

On MacOS Catalina 10.15.2, If I run ./SSDTTime.command, Option 4 is missing. If I select Option 3, I am asked to drag the DSDT.aml onto the terminal, this has no effect. The DSDT.aml file is located in a folder on the Desktop.

I was able to do this under Linux which is how I dumped the DSDT originally.

I'm following the guide here - https://dortania.github.io/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/ssdt-methods/ssdt-easy.html

HPET could not be located

When I try to use option 1 "FixHPET" I can select it, and then I select an option and it says "HPET could not be located" even though I pointed it to the folder with DSDT and HPET, what am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I am using the Mac version, I tested the Windows version and it works fine

HPET _CRS to XCRS Rename has a wrong hex number

The hexadecimal numbers generated by this script are 255f435253 and 2558435253，They are converted to strings of %_ CRS and %XCRS

Having an issue generating SSDT-PLUG (could not locate CPU0 or PROO)

Sorry not sure what to do with this one!

NO Dumping DSDT option found

Hello there,
First of all ...... Thank you sooo much for sharing this script.. I really mean it, man....

I'm currently running Hackintosh Catalina 10.15.7 (Clover bootloader).
I want to change my boot loader to OpenCore.
So,I downloaded SSDTTime script (on 28Sep,2020) and when I executed SSDTTime.command there was no DSDT dumping option available. so, I tried by running SSDTTime.py but the result was same....

So, I don't understand what to do...
Please help me.

I'm attaching both the screenshots for your reference.

Add "Disable for Windows"-option

I think it would be smart to add an option to SSDTTime to wrap the SSDTs with

If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
{
    Return (Zero)
}
Else
{
    Return (0x0F)
}

in the cases where Windows is dualbooted.

ERRORS WITH PYTHON 3.8.2

one error was : could not download iasl-win.zip
after I downloaded it manually, and execute Dump DSDT, I ran into another error,
it said: could not found dsdt.bat in d:\ssdtime\script

but when i downgrade the python to python 3.4.0, everything works fine.

Apologize for my ignorance of basic SSDT modding renames but this comment "HPET _CRS (Needs _CSR. to XCRS Rename)" showed up on Opencore configurator. Not sure what it means or what I should do? Decompile the SSDT and do the rename and recompile??

[Suggestion] Better Download Link for iasl for Windows

I noticed that if SSDTTime can't download .iasl, a promt with a downladlink for .ias is provided:

Please manually download and extract iasl.exe and acpidump.exe from:
 - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/topic-technology/open/acpica/download.html

And place in:
 - C:\Users\steezo\Desktop\SSDTTime-master\Scripts

But that link leads to the source code for compiling .iasl etc. yourself which is not very convinient for a regular Windows user.

So instead, I would like to suggest this link for downloading precompiled builds of .iasl and acpidump from intel instead:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/774881/acpi-component-architecture-downloads-windows-binary-tools.html
