Until the pci-bridge sections (49 and the 4a's) are passed, the TB device cannot function on the Mac side. This presently applies to all bridged devices and is a Linux/VM limitation.

(I can supply one later today to test.) The only problem that I see, is that to date, I've not been able to get any SSDT to change anything in the SF0 device. My SSDTs seemingly work on most other devices. (I've not written here about this SSDT matter.) I've gotten the feeling that SF0 is somehow formed after the SSDTs are loaded. Ideally, if you could try a different PCIe slot to move the device from SF0... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is set up for SF0 (0x03 as shown in image above). The other is set for S80 at 0x01. Both have descriptions of PCIe slot 4 (but this is description and does not affect function; can be changed inside file). As I mentioned, I've never seen SF0 properly rename using an SSDT on these TRX40 mobos. Also, sometimes, when trying to re-name a device in SF0, the macOS would not boot, so keep an alternative boot EFI (which I know you do!).

Moderators iGPU Posted July 31, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) I would not re-flash. What you have looks good. Also, USB-2 usually does not work on TB ports (don't bother testing; un-important for us). The next step is trying to get an SSDT to work. But first let me describe the TB features seen in a properly working setup. (I sourced the images off the internet, so not mine as I'm working on different computer; I'll update once I locate better images). These features depend upon a good SSDT to show up. First, you want to see the following in a TB tree when using IORegistryExplore (the device shown is at RP05; this can differ for our mobos). There are a few important features: sections DSB0-DSB4, where DSB0 contains NHI (actual TB) and DSB2 contains the USB section (ideally 2 parts for AIC). IOThuderboltPort@7 (this is for TitanRidge; it will differ for other chips; eg, Alpine Ridge uses Port@5) is also important for proper TB behavior. IOThuderboltPort@7: Next, for proper TB behavior, you should see entries in the following 3 areas in the System Information window. A. PCI slot pane: notice that there are entries for TB and TB-USB. These are injected through the SSDT. B. PCI TB. This section, even with marginally functioning TB will often be empty ("No Thunderbolt devices."). However, if a proper SSDT with flashed firmware and you'll see an entry as below. Also, the speed of the device should be 40GB/sec. Link Speed is adjusted to 40 with this SSDT entry: C. TB-USB. If TB and TB-USB is properly working, you'll now see a TB bridge entry in the PCI-USB pane as shown below. If a device, like a TB external HD is connected, then the following will appear:: Edited July 31, 2020 by iGPU Updated images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, specifically, what VM instructions are you using and passing-through for the TB device? And are you blacklisting any TB items (I know you normally do not, but just checking for completeness)?

USB-C works well off TB3 (just not USB-2), and can use the less expensive USB-C cables (note: USB-C and TB cable have same connection and look the same, but are not the same). I think you can get USB-C connection without SSDT (but I am not absolutely certain; too long since I tried: I can test on another machine this weekend to verify).

Moderators iGPU Posted August 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I don't have a free Titan Ridge card to test, but I do have an available, flashed Alpine Ridge TB3 card. Placing it in slot 4 (farthest from CPU), gives an entry in to SF0, but very incomplete. I provided an SSDT which loaded (see other image), but it did not affect the AR card. I'll try some variations of the SSDT file. Pathetic TB tree and how it should be labelled with SSDT (but SF0 should be a device like RP21, not UPSB): Display loaded ACPIs (command: log show --last boot | grep ACPI ) Edited August 1, 2020 by iGPU Incorrect device location for TB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
