Also did you check MMIO Hex addresses for Above 4G? They should be different (at least some of them) from Above 4G Disabled.

Yes the address hex is the same for me with Above4G enabled and disabled.

August 31, 2020

Ok... just confirmed that it is indeed the last 3 addresses in my case that is the issue. I have shutdown, sleep/wake and nvram all working with 16 of the 19 whitelisted with both Above4G enabled and disabled.

Can someone else whitelist everything except the last 3 address and confirm also.

August 31, 2020

So.... I have tested enabled every single MMIO address and can boot and have everything functioning properly except for 3 addresses.

I have tested the last 3 as individuals and the system will not boot, I have 3 more combinations to test, as first and second enabled, as first and last enabled, as second and last enabled. But it would appear that the last 3 addresses are the ones that are giving us issues.

When I enable 4G, all match Driftwood's who also has 4G enabled. They only differ in the bottom 4, which according to vit9696 are un-important.

@Pavo, @fabiosun - do you mind also sharing your ACPI folders?

I want to match mine - I see potential differences based on Pavo's config.plist

My EC file now looks like below. Is this correct or is there too much ?
Scope (_SB.PCI0)
{
	Device (EC)
    {
		Name (_HID, "ACID0001")  // _HID: Hardware ID
        Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
        {
			If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
            {
				Return (0x0F)
            }
            Else
            {
				Return (Zero)
            }
        }
    }
}

Sure.... Here is my SSDTs I currently use. Also you do realize using a EC device without a _CRS methods does nothing correct? In real Macs the EC devices is used as a query system to all other devices, since we do not have a embedded controller, adding a fake one does nothing.

So... with only whitelisting the common address we all have across all the boards reported, sleep/wake, shutdown and nvram all works.

now... to determine which addresses are specifically for shutdown, sleep/wake and nvram. We are gonna have to disable one at a time and boot and test. Until we have working shutdown, sleep/wake and nvram working. But I really don't think matters in my opinion.

August 31, 2020

So... only whitelisting the common ones from across us all works for me. Gonna test Shutdown, Sleep/Wake and NVRAM.

iGPU MSI TRX40 Creator Schema 4G off

here some user data with different motherboard

with all respect for vit.. but in the past they have also said patches were borked...

so I would verify all thing I can

and it is also possible to reserve some of those four to OS X as people do not need of DevirtualizeMMIO do

Based off this post here is the common devirts from all of us highlighted in red. This is what I propose.... We all use only these common devirts and have Above4G enabled and CSM disabled in BIOS only. No other changes.

@Pavo - good to hear. So far sleep is the only thing not working on GB boards. It's unclear to me yet if this is due to the board itself. Did sleep work w/out any special SSDT's for you? Which MMIO scheme did you apply?

Attached is my config, also I add a SLPB device to my USBX SSDT like below.

Device (SLPB)
{
	Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0C0E"))  // _HID: Hardware ID
    Name (_STA, 0x0B)  // _STA: Status
}

I am not a fan of Gigabyte so far, not because of Mac OS difficulty but because of their slowness on BIOS updates and rather incompetent and not customer-friendly support. I still have an RMA pending and thinking if I should replace it.

Aside from that, I don't think GB is any harder - MMIO list matches other boards in "difficulty". The only problem is sleep, but so far I have seen only 2 examples of sleep working - @fabiosun and @Driftwood and it's unclear if the problem for the rest are caused by the boards or the hardware attached. If I recall @iGPU has the shutdown problem and the sleep problem as well and haven't seen him say they are working on his MSI. The Aorus Master, Designare, MSI Creator are feature-laden boards and that may work against them as they probably have more complicated BIOS-es.

Sleep/Wake, Shutdown and NVRAM all working on my MSI Creator TRX40.

Very interesting, you sure you are using the debug version of OpenCore? Like all of OpenCore efi files are from debug version, something seems wrong with not getting MMIO output.

Hi @fabiosun,

Although my system is running well now, apart from sleep, I am happy to do tests when I can. As you say, it can advance all our knowledge by seeing what does and does not work.

I tried with all the various setting of Above 4G but none of them let me successfully boot into Catalina or Big Sur. Checking the debug txts they never get to the stage of saving the MMIO info so it is not possible to create a Whitelist. Attached are a series of the text files saved to the EFI when trying to boot. I don't know if they are useful at all but maybe you will see something useful in them.

You sure you have DevirtualizeMMIO quirk enabled under Booter > Quirks, most of the stuff in these logs are after the DevirtualiseMmio suppose to do its thing.

fabiosun,

1) I could not boot with Above 4G enabled unless I also enabled CSM. Even with 4G enabled, if npc=0x2000 is present as boot-arg, it still boots. I'm not certain I see the downside of leaving npc=0x2000 present; are there problems in the log that I'm missing?

I don't need Above 4G not npci=0x2000 as boot-arg and boots fine, also CSM disabled. You might need Above4G because of duel GPUs though. My MMIOWhite list is the from the ones I got from using OpenCore debug version and only disabled the last 2 entries.

Let me know how it works. I've certainly enjoyed using your software, so a pleasure if I can return a favor.

If you were to read through the old posts, I initially used a calculated slide value (slide=128 as boot arg), but saw no advantage and stopped using. The MmioWhitelist, WriteFlash=Yes, and other Quirk settings are all that seem to be needed for native NVRAM on our TRX40.

All good now, now.... has anyone tried install BigSur from installer? I can boot already installed BigSur, but remember trying earlier and couldn't get past second install phase.

Here I whipped this up for you just now. Only need to fill-in SSN stuff. I included my SSDTs for this board, only changing the fact that you use 1 Radeon VII and I have 2. This could change some DevProp stuff I left in place as I don't know your exact NVMe set up. So please re-check those.

I removed TB references since I think you're not using.

(EFI deleted after download.)

Ok cool thanks, all I needed was the PMCR SSDT, all good now.

PAVO:

Yes, I got it working several days ago. It required setting up MmWhitelist. Since you and I have same set up, I'll send you my EFI for a trial run.

When you do the MMIOWhitelist do you disable the DisableVariableWrite quirk? If I disable that stupid quirk, macOS boots but I don't get any video. Only with it enabled do I get video.

August 30, 2020

So.... you has working NVRAM for TRX40? How did you get it working? This stupid Booter > Quirks > DisableVariableWrite variable is pissing me off.

Try adding this SSDT, of course remove emulated NVRAM first.

@Pavo - I have (and older) MacBook Pro late 2012 running Catalina so I could generate a dump on that. If it's preferable to use iMacPro I could probably get access to do that.

How do you force dumps? In particular, how can I force it to dump on sleep and shutdown. Is this link helpful in figuring that out?

All the real Mac dumps you want.

As for SSDT-Shutdown, I've already confirmed that the patch (below) has indeed a _PTS function inside our DSDT file (bottom). So the call should work.

Next step is finding attachment site for the SSDT call. The original site is "_SB.PCI0.XHC_.PMEE" which doesn't exist on our mobo. I have created an XHC, but I think wrong site for attachment. I originally tried the USB site at D0B8 and the computer would not boot.

Again, the patch is enabled along with the SSDT-Shutdown file; neither by itself will work.

Just a FYI this method is related to Prepare to Sleep method of the ACPI spec.

7.4.1 \_PTS (Prepare To Sleep)
The _PTS control method is executed by the OS during the sleep transition process for S1, S2, S3, S4, and for orderly S5 shutdown. The sleeping state value (For example, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 for the S5 soft-off state) is passed to the _PTS control method. This method is called after OSPM has notified native device drivers of the sleep state transition and before the OSPM has had a chance to fully prepare the system for a sleep state transition. Thus, this control method can be executed a relatively long time before actually entering the desired sleeping state. If OSPM aborts the sleep state transition, OSPM should run the _WAK method to indicate this condition to the platform.
Arguments (1):
Arg0 – An Integer containing the value of the sleeping state (1 for S1, 2 for S2, etc.) Return Value:
None
The _PTS control method cannot modify the current configuration or power state of any device in the system. For example, _PTS would simply store the sleep type in the embedded controller in sequencing the system into a sleep state when the SLP_EN bit is set.
The platform must not make any assumptions about the state of the machine when _PTS is called. For example, operation region accesses that require devices to be configured and enabled may not succeed, as these devices may be in a non-decoding state due to plug and play or power management operations.

It maybe useful to check real Mac dumps and see how they are handling the _PTS method or figure out how to convert the values of their methods and adapt it to ours.

****UPDATE****

Maybe be useful to add a _TTS method to root of the ACPI table like this

Scope (\)
{
	Method (_TTS, 1, NotSerialized)  // _TTS: Transition To State
	{
    	Store ("_TTS", Debug)
    	Store (Arg0, SLTP)
	}
}

@iGPU Does your Aquantia work in the vm like fabiosun's?

Fabiosuns's doesn't work either, from the looks of his video he is using VMWare compatible Nic.

July 17, 2020

No problem, but to be honest I really don't see a need to boot into Recovery. With the way our systems are setup as a VM, there really is no need at all to boot into Recovery to perform any actions.

Pavo,

I still cannot boot into BS Recovery. I did set UEFI/APFS/JumpstartHotPlug to enable, but it loops out. (I'm at work and I now forget the exact, one line error I see.) Any suggestions?

And one more question. There is talk on some forums about deleting APFS snapshot disks. Do you think this is useful or necessary?

Thanks for your input.

I am not sure why you have the issue with booting into Recovery, I have UEFI/APFS/JumpstartHotPlug enabled and that was all I needed to boot into Recovery. I suggest not removing anything that is vanilla built by the installation process. These extra changes that are made by the installation process are made for a reason, we might not understand what that reason is right now, but they are there for a reason.
