SAT0
patch fixes potential SATA compatibility issues (untested). HDEF
is checked by AppleHDAController
to identify a controller as "not GFX." The NTFY
and RWAK
patches are to fix TB3 hotplugging. The two patches to rename TBDU.XHC
to TBDU.XHC2
are required for TB3 companion ports because they require a unique device name and XHC
is already taken by the PCH XHCI controller. The XHC.GPEH
patch redirects the USB hotplug events from the original SB.PCI0.XHC
device (which we disable in a custom SSDT) to the PCH XHCI SB.PCI0.XHC
device. We disable the PNP0C09
device which is recognized as the embedded-controller by OSX. It has to be disabled because the NUC has a "virtual" EC that ignores reads/writes to it and this confuses OSX (for example, if it sees there's an EC, it will try to write sleep/wake info to it). However, to enable USB power management, we still rename H_EC
to EC
even though we do not use the EC. The power management kext does not actually do anything hardware-wise, but it does set static limits for the USB controller to use. The HS09._UPC
change allows us to redefine the _UPC
method in the SDST in order for OSX to recogize the Wifi/BT card as internal (otherwise the port does not show up). Finally, the GFX0
to IGPU
patch allows the graphics power management drivers to load for the Intel iGPU.disablegfxfirmware
is required for Intel iGPU to boot since Apple's iGPU firmware is not supported. Hiberation is not implemented so we make sure we do not accidently trip it. XMP detection is only useful for people who overclock their RAM.device-id
patch chages the Vega M to be recognized as a Baffin GPU so the graphics accelerator can be enabled. The first name
patch changes the device name for the SD card reader so it can be recognized by AppleSDHC
. The second name
patch makes AppleLPC get recognized on the LPC device (the driver does some non-critical power management).
