1. Boot -> CSM Support: Disabled
2. Settings -> IO Port -> Internal Graphics: Enabled
3. Settings -> IO Port -> Above 4G Decoding: Enabled
4. Settings -> IO Port -> USB Configuration -> XHCI Hand-off: Enabled

OpenCore Installation Notes

Currently running OpenCore v0.7.0.

Basically, I just followed the official OpenCore Coffe Lake Install Guide.

USB

USB mapping is done via USBMap.kext injection (generated with the USBMap script).

This is my current 15 port mapping:

Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming IO Backplate

iGPU

iGPU works by enabling internal graphics in bios and then using framebuffer 0x3E910003 for WhateverGreen.

Note: Make sure you swap bytes when setting the value for AAPL,ig-platform-id in config.plist (0x3E910003 -> 0300913E).

Sound

Works with AppleALC.kext using layout-id 1.

Issues

• Wake from sleep via keyboard or mouse requires a second USB input to completely power on the hackintosh (for example to power on the display). Check Keyboard Wake Issues from the OpenCore Post-Install docs.
