Hi there!

Thank you in first place for the well documented project! I tried to apply your given approach on TB3 hot plug to my setup (Lenovo T480S). Finally, hotplugging with my eGPU case (Charging, internal SSD, Ethernet, GPU detected) works reliable (after boot, after standby - all circumstances). This was never so reliable before and thus is a already a huge milestone!

However, the actual GPU is not really spinning up, but shows up for a short time in IORegistryExplorer - and so does the eGPU Icon in the top menu.

Did someone of you already try to get an eGPU running with the NUC?

Because if it works with the NUC, it should be easy to apply to the ThinkPads as well. Otherwise I'm happy to share the IOREG dumps of a working MacBook Pro vs. my device.

At least there is evidence, that it works in general because if you leave out the Thunderbolt aml and have the eGPU plugged while booting, the whole thing is detected as PCI hub and GPU runs as "internal" - but once pulled, the computer crashes.

Best, Phil

Describe the bug
upgrade from installed system. HaCMini.pkg file successfully installed. But can’t boot, output is A bootable device has not been detected .Copy files to a usb disk, same situation.

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Environment:

• Running OSX version: 10.14.6
• Target drive OSX version:
• HaC Mini installer version: 2.0

This was a tricky one to sort out but the common thread amongst many people in #29 #19 and #15 is that SATA support is broken.

Some observed behaviours: freeze at “AppleACPICPU” log entry in verbose boot, freeze at Apple logo with progress bar around 50%, and magically working when SATA-unsupported.kext is loaded AND boot with spacebar -> load with injected kext.

The underlying issue is that the SATA controller (which only shows up with a SATA drive installed) is getting recognized by OSX’s “generic” SATA driver which is broken. Instead, the Intel PCH SATA driver must be used. SATA-unsupported.kext SHOULD fix this, but as many observed, it doesn’t seem to always work.

SATA-unsupported.kext doesn’t always work because the kext has a race condition. The Info.plist doesn’t list the dependency on Apple’s kext and so if SATA-unsupported.kext is loaded before Apple’s kext, or if Apple’s kext is not loaded for some reason, then it may not work. It’s not as easy as adding a dependency because Apple’s kext is not meant to be imported and does not have CFBundleCompatibleVersion key.

Instead, a better solution to SATA-unsupported.kext is to manually inject the “name” of the PCI node using clover.

So I can get through the installer, but the system will not boot Mac OS from the USB... gets to the point where the GPU is initialized and then reboots...

I have found a way to make it boot; so the install is good (bunch of different kexts... different method ... blah blah .... but I have no metal...) so I must have missed a step somewhere... here is my efi folder for the HaC Mini... Hopefully you can tell me what I missed. so I can boot with your method...

Thanks for any help/advise!

hello, I downloaded the mojave from playstore
-created the usb
-installed clover with v4982 bacause newer versions do not show the options to select with the 64 at the end
-replaced the EFI in the usb with the hac mini EFI
-installed macos
-generated the smbios
-mounted efi with clover configrator and copied the efi folder from the usb drive to my efi in the hardrive
-reboot and it wont boot unless I press space bar and select the option- boot with injected kext..

everything is working 100% no issue, the nuc boots really fast into macos but I cant get it to boot without my intervention and thats really annoying

---HELP

HaC Mini v2.0 is a major update that brings an automated installer along with migration to OpenCore from Clover. We need help testing it on different configurations. The main configurations we want to cover are:

• NUC8i7HNK device
• NUC8i7HVK device
• eGPU
• NVMe boot
• SATA boot
• 5K display

There are 3 test scenario. Please try to test as many as possible but you do not need to test them all. Please make sure you have a backup of your system and of the EFI partition in case something goes wrong.

Scenario 1: New Installation

Follow the guide for a new install from start to finish. Note you will be wiping your SSD so make sure you have a backup.

Scenario 2: Existing Installation

Follow the guide for an existing install.

Scenario 3: Basic functionality

Try all of the ports and make sure nothing new breaks. Try sleep/resume. Try geekbench and make sure the score isn't significantly lower than before.

Test report

Please format your report as follows in a comment reply below:

• Scenarios tested [e.g: 1,3]:
• HaC Mini version [e.g: 2.0]:
• OSX version [e.g: 10.14.6]:
• NUC model [e.g: NUC8i7HNK]:
• Boot SSD model and protocol [e.g: Samsung EVO 860 1TB, SATA]:
• Second SSD model and protocol (if installed) [e.g: HP EX920 1TB, NVMe]:
• First DIMM model [e.g: Patriot DDR4-2666 16GB]:
• Second DIMM model (if installed):
• Display port(s) used [e.g: USB-C, mini DP]:
• Display resolution(s) [e.g: 4K, 5K]:
• Any TB3 devices:
• Any USB devices:

Make a separate report for each different configuration. Include any optional comments, suggestions, etc on the guide and anything else you've tested.

If you ran into any issues, you should file a new issue in addition to replying to this issue with your test report. Do it even if there is an existing issue open because we now have a new issue template that requests more information and should make things easier to track. Older issues will be closed as duplicates when newer issues with more information are opened. Eventually, issues only in v1.x will not be resolved.

Clean install 10.14.6 on nuc8i7hnk with release 1.4.1, unfortunately, failed, saying

AppleIntelLpssI2CController::_serviceMatchingTimeSubr: fTimerServiceMatching timed out, fNotifications 0

already tried

• release 1.4.1
• release 1.4.1 + config.plist from 1.3
• release 1.4.1 + config.plist from 1.3 + Polaris22Fixup.kext from 1.0
  all of those combinations failed.

Likely the thermal sensors are not working properly or the PM settings are too aggressive. We currently use the Macmini8,1's PM profile because the form factor is similar.

Need more data points to see what the true issue is (not confirmed it's thermal related because there's no indication). This is seen very rarely.

Probably an AMD framebuffer issue. Only appears if resolution is set to 2560x1440.

Workaround

One workaround is to always reset the resolution on display wakeup. We can use the displayplacer and sleepwatcher utilities to do this automatically after every display wakeup.

1. Install https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer
2. Install https://www.bernhard-baehr.de with brew install sleepwatcher
3. Run displayplacer list and get a string with all your displays, order, etc
4. Create ~/Library/LaunchAgents/de.bernhard-baehr.sleepwatcher-displayfix.plist with the template below
5. Run launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/de.bernhard-baehr.sleepwatcher-displayfix.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

	</array>
	<key>RunAtLoad</key>
	<true/>
	<key>KeepAlive</key>
	<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Replace the two displayplacer argument strings with your own custom string. The difference between the two instances is that first we set the res to a higher one res:3008x1692 and then to what we want res:2560x1440. The sleep 10 prevents any issues trying to set the resolution before the display turns on.

I got monitor with FreeSync im activated that mode on Monitor, but no special option in settings of monitor appear, just to confirm I rebooted macOS, I did even test (because I was with maybe automatically is enabled when see compatible monitor but no :( )

maybe because is different pci-ids ? or something else ?
any idea how to solve that ?

I am rookie for hackintosh. This might be a silly question.
I had updated BIOS to the latest version (HNKBLi70.86A).
I followed the steps of bios-settings.md and installing-osx.md. I had done those step in bios-settings.md:

1. change "Portable Device Charging Mode" to OFF
2. change "Thunderbolt Security Level" to Legacy Mode
3. uncheck "Secure Boot"

Installing macOS
Insert your newly created USB installer into any USB slot and power on the NUC.
Press F10 at the prompt to get into the boot menu.
Select your USB drive and press enter.
You should see the Clover menu. Select the USB drive.

When I press F10 and enter boot menu, I only see one option which is Windows boot manger. I can not find USB drive or anything else.
Is there any step missing?What should I do?

Thanks

Would it work? Would it be required? Might this even fix some of the Wakeup issues mentioned here?

I installed 10.14.5 mojave on the hades canyon and it works well with my 1080p monitor. but when i use a 5k monitor with the thunderbolt plug, there's no graphic output at all and the screen is black. but the loudspeaker inside the monitor works so i think maybe the tbt device is connected.
my 5k monitor is lg ultrafine 5k and it is designed for macos, u can find it in the apple store and i'm sure it should be working perfectly with a real mac. the resolution is 5120x2880. it can connects only with a thunderbolt plug, no dp or hdmi. it works well in windows 10 at 5120x2880@60Hz
except the HID light sensor so it cannot adjust the brightness automatically.
It would be perfect if the screen goes well for this set.

Thanks osy86 share, found the latest version 1.4.1，

Preview freeze bug is only gone after fresh boot. After waking from sleep it's still there.

Created usb installer, Ran package installer which was successful (check box for patching osx)

Nuc can see the usb stick but only shows one partition to boot from and you cannot boot from that partition. I tried another machine (Gigabyte motherboard) and it shows two partitions I am able to boot from either partition 0 or partition 1, If I select 0 it won't boot but if I select 1 the installer tries and boots. But partition 1 does not show as an option on the nuc to boot from

Installer Log 13-Sep-2019.txt

If IGPU is enabled, then wakeup fails. Likely a framebuffer issue. The easiest workaround is to just disable the IGPU in BIOS. Since we have a dedicated GPU with similar HW support for things like codec and compute, there's little reason to leave the IGPU enabled.

I'm running macOS 10.14.6 on nuc8i7hvk, thanks to this project, everything works fine, except for one thing:

I noticed some game got a very low fps. Then I have done the geekbench compute benchmark (for graphics) for many times, got only about 65000, for example:

https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/compute/4424008

However, I noticed that lots of people have got a really high score for more than 90000:

https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/compute/4179987

I did some research and found that the "Compute Units" is only 12 on mine while others have 24.

From the Intel-8809G Product Specifications, Vega M GH actually have 24 compute units.

I can't confirm whether it's geekbench's bug or hac-mini's bug.

When a device is plugged in and the computer goes to sleep and wakes up, the device gets reset and the port is re-enumerated. If the device is a USB mass storage drive, then the user sees a "unsafe removal" message.

The behaviour is different for the PCH XHCI ports versus the PEG XHCI ports. For PEG, this happens only during the first sleep. Then, everything is normal. However, for PCH ports (and TB3 USB ports) the reset always happens.

The culprit appears to be a hardware or BIOS issue. The PCI PM_Enable bit should be retained across D3 sleeps, however by the time XNU is woken up, the PM_Enable state is lost. This could be a hardware bug or it could be the resume path in the UEFI firmware messing with the USB device. Evidence for the latter is that a USB keyboard that is plugged in has the LED briefly show up during wake, then goes off, and later comes back on again.

In addition to the PM_Enable state lost, it appears that all other state is lost as well, which is why the ports are reset on resume. A proper fix would require a patched BIOS. A workaround would be to silently re-enumerate the device without user notification (Linux does this). The way the IOUSBMassStorage driver works makes this solution difficult to implement because the USB device is a child of the port that is reset.

Marking as won't fix since BIOS patching is beyond the scope of this project.

Workaround: for devices that require preserving state across sleep/resumes, use only the PEG slots (the blue port on the front or the USB-C port on the front). After reset from the first sleep, the device should sleep/wake without issue.

NUC8i7HVK, using 1.4, it keeps rebooting when the process bar is at about 10%. After removing WhateverGreen, it boots succeed.

The verbose mode goes so fast that I can't catch any information.

When I format a hard disk using the Disk Utility, can I format only a portion of the unused space? I want to keep my existing system.

Macbook Pro also has dual role analog/mini-TOSLINK jacks. They seem to use a "delegate" node to do the hotplug detection. Explore how this works.

Note SPDIF output also broken on Linux.

This configuration file is fixed, boot speed, sleep wake-up speed, you can refer tohttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sMtr5KddHxEAlrwcclYxpVoh9ZD4lvHM

In /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleGVA.framework/Resources/Info.plist, under System Support, the entry for Mac-7BA5B2DFE22DDD8C does not contain forceOfflineRenderer. On a real Macmini8,1 there is no dGPU, so this is fine but we need offline rendering.

Changing the model to iMac18,2 or iMac18,3 works but causes another issue: the USB-C in DP mode no longer output video.

Another solution is to use WhateverGreen's Shiki with boot-arg shikigva=32 shiki-id=Mac-BE088AF8C5EB4FA2. This works but currently, WG is incompatible with Polaris22Fixup until osy/Polaris22Fixup#3 is resolved. Additionally, WG has a whitelist system so QuickSync will only work with the apps that are whitelisted, which is not a good solution imo.

We have to either resolve the USB-C DP issues with board-id Mac-BE088AF8C5EB4FA2 or somehow fake the forceOfflineRenderer check in AppleGVA without WG.

it seems that the back jack not work on 10.14.6 with AppleALC.kext , not tested on 10.14.5

If device is in S3 sleep, waking up from USB would trigger a "dark wake" (screen powered off). A second keyboard press is needed to wake the display after the USB is reset.

This is the same issue as #8 because the XHCI state is lost, the wakeup event is lost also and XNU gets confused why it woke up because XHCI's PM_Status is 0 due to the bug. As a result, it thinks that it's a dark wake.

Workaround: Deal with having to press the keyboard twice or disable dark wake.

The 1.4 version CLOVER folder has tools, themes and drivers64EFI. These will be installed during the installation of clover. Are these files the special version or just being packed by mistake?

By the way, the driver folder and the options have changed in recent version of clover, may be this should be updated in the guide, too?

After updating to 10.14.5 Beta 2, kernel panics on boot if GPU acceleration is enabled.

Crash is in AMDRadeonX4000 but replacing AMDRadeonX4000HWLibs with the one from Beta 1 resolves the issue.

Running bindiff and looking at the changes in HWLibs, we identify the following function changes (data only changes and constant operand changes are not identified by bindiff)

A number of functions have bzero added to clear the stack data before use:

_SW_SMUM_Dpm_SetMinDeepSleepDceFClk
_SW_SMUM_Dpm_SetWorkloadPolicy
_SW_SMUM_Dpm_DisableUclkFastSwitching
_SW_SMUM_Dpm_EnableUclkFastSwitching
_SW_SMUM_Dpm_GetCurrentDpm
_SW_SMUM_Dpm_ForceDpmLevel
_SW_SMUM_Dpm_SetClockLimit
_SW_SMUM_Dpm_GetClockLimit

A couple of hardware specific changes may or may not be used by Polaris22 path:

_gc_9_1_init_gfx_power_gating
_gc_10_1_get_gb_addr_config_default
_greenland_update_hw_virtualization_settings
_Cail_Bonaire_UpdateMultimediaClockGating
_PhwCIslands_BugCheckRegisterDump (added register write)
_PhwCIslands_Initialize
_PhwPolaris10_Initialize

Some "suspicious" changes:

_CailIdentifyCrossDisplayAndXGP: check (ulong)(*(int *)(lParm1 + 0x198) - 0x41U < 0x40) for "EnableXDSupport"
_PEM_CWDDEPM_AdjustPowerOptimizationSettings: added blob of code
_CAILFullResetSupport: new branch for *(int *)(lParm1 + 0x19c) - 0x41U < 0x40)
_Cail_MCILQuerySystemInfo: old:0,1 new:0,2
AtiPowerPlayServices::ppInitialize(PPDisplayConfiguration *): call _PP_Initialize => now calls _PP_InitializeEX
_CailReadinRegistryFlags: check (uint)(0x3f < *(int *)(lParm1 + 0x198) - 0x41U) for "DisableFBCSupport"

Other changes that seem benign:
_PEM_CWDDEPM_PMLogControl: removed _PECI_LockPowerPlayOnly/_PECI_UnlockPowerPlayOnly
_PHM_CollectDbgInfo: added indirect call at end
_CailSaveCailInitInfo: added a register copy
_PEM_CWDDEPM_GetODDefaultPerformanceLevels: added assertion
__ZN20AtiPowerPlayServicesC2EP18PowerPlayCallbacks: assertion changes, maybe more
__ZN21AtiPowerPlayInterface25createPowerPlayServiceForEP18PowerPlayCallbacks: assertion changes
__ZN25AtiApplePowerTuneServices23createPowerTuneServicesEP11PP_InstanceP18PowerPlayCallbacks: added navi support
__ZN20AtiAppleMcilServices9obtainIriEPvP22_MCIL_IRI_OBTAIN_INPUTP23_MCIL_IRI_OBTAIN_OUTPUT: removed "ATY,CAIL_IRI"

Trying to individually patch out each change identified here and reverting the behaviour does not appear to fix the issue.

As a workaround, we load the Beta 1 HWLibs and it works normally but can break in a future macOS update.

Seems to be an issue with the companion port definitions. If TB3 controller is not powered on then ioregistryviewer freezes as well as ioreg. Sometimes freeze happens on resume as well.

Suspect it's related the the companion ports when the TB3 controller is not powered on. Calling ioreg -a shows a freeze on the companion port entry.

Related to #2

If the TB3 port is started successfully through force power or from a device plugged in during boot. If no device is plugged in when the computer sleeps and wakes up again, the kernel will panic with the message thunderbolt power on failed.

Limited success from calling TBFP () from the SSDT _PS0 function for RP05. However it does not solve the problem 100% of the time.

Workaround: Make sure at least one TB3 device is plugged in when computer goes to sleep if TB3 is enabled.

If no device is plugged in at boot time, the Thunderbolt 3 ports will not respond to hotplugs.

This is because a force thunderbolt WMI device is implemented.

Writing a driver for the TBFP WMI device has mixed results. TB3 ports show up only if boot flags pci=0x7 is enabled for verbose logging. It's confirmed the logging does not change how devices are enumerated so we are dealing with a race condition.

A custom kext matching on the IOPCI2PCIBridge for RP05 which waits for the TBFP device to force power does not seem to work either.

Next idea is to set up the force power in Clover.

Workaround: as long as some device is plugged in at boot, it will work and hotplugs will work.

I am using version 1.4.1, there is a problem when booting the system: can't get into the system, restart repeatedly

The front headphone path seems to be correct but no sound is being outputted. Appears to be a codec init issue.

Linux init calls these functions:

snd_hda_codec_write(codec, hp_pin, 0, AC_VERB_SET_AMP_GAIN_MUTE, AMP_OUT_MUTE);
snd_hda_codec_write(codec, hp_pin, 0, AC_VERB_SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL, PIN_OUT);

I completely followed the guid downloaded Mojave 10.14.6 and make a install usb disk.
But when I finished installation and selected Boot macOS from ... ,after a long time waiting,it just stuck at kextd stall[n],(240s):'appleACPICPU'.
Is that mean this built only work on macOS Mojave 10.14.5?
