trx50 Gigabyte TRX50 installation success! :)

[fabiosun]

I also believe that with the practical demonstration that TRX50 can work too....
you will make several people here spend a lot of money 🙂

I have had this system assembled since December but it was on the back burner…Opencore does take a real long time to load the boot picker fyi. It is in an old case with a Volkswagon Type2 style theme, even the side panel has wheels. Previously this case was home to an Intel 3rd Gen…long due for an upgrade.

I appreciate in other forum your patience and calm to setup well this system

Wonderful case

I think that this PC deserves a good NVME disk for OSX 🙂

 

[backinblackx86]

Okay, this is it everybody…

if it starts it will be possible to adjust all things

drum roll….Probably need to add RestrictEvents.kext and some other tweaks but we have reached the desktop!

 

[fabiosun]

Yes, i used few kexts to boot

try audio from backplane and front

i think your backplane audio should work without any kext

Colors seems a bit weird

 

[backinblackx86]

Colors are fine, it is my camera photographing the screen. Sound is working via the HDMi output to the display’s built in speakers.

Analog audio output is working through the back I/O panel. Case’s audio out connected to the motherboard header is not working…could be the old wiring. Need to find a microphone to test input.

[fabiosun]

Ok, restrictevents will help for CPU name as you know

Do you see clicking in audio icon on the bar other devices?

 

to grab a part of your screen you can click Option shift 4 and drag a box

 

[backinblackx86]

I’lo need to log in via the Trx50 system, I have been using the mobile device.

[fabiosun]

Yes you have also USB audio as TRX40 and some AM5 motherboard.

very good

The good things you doesnt need of fix patch and this is good for GPU performance

 

i hope when you are ready you will share some cpu Benchmark 🙂

very curious because i think you are the first one with thi platform to boot in OSX

 

[backinblackx86]

Couldn't have done it without you fabiosun! I am interested in what you changed to make the system boot. I will add Restrict Events kext to correct the CPU name and the Memory error notification as I am familiar with it from my recent 5900x AM4 system. I do have an AMD 6800 XT that I can add to the system as this 560 was pulled from the previous 3rd Gen Intel system and of course, for performance sake, I will source a Western Digital NVMe.

[fabiosun]

Important thing wrong was SSDT part

I added one created by@Lorys89which has inside many things you need (CPU rename and other stuff)

I think you can try also TB4 ports because they should be identical to mine

Wireless could be problematic , but if it is an intel wifi you can try adding some kext

test also front speaker port and headphone

 

if you can post also an IOREG of your system to see better

 

You can also adjust orange icon if you have

[Lorys89]

He mounts wifi 7 qualcom, it doesn't compatible

 

[fabiosun]

I also added a flag on a patch we use on AM5 platform

[backinblackx86]

Yes this board is Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7, my PopOS linux does not detect it either. The board does have the 10GbE NIc, I believe similar to the ASUS X670E board, I am aware of CaseySJ patches for it. I will try enabling the Maple Ridge USB4 and see if it boots next.

[fabiosun]

now i think you should backup this EFI/Config and try things you only can do 🙂

Maybe, something could be unflagged in your new TRX50 platform

[backinblackx86]

Yes, I intend on backing this up. Can’t understand why loading the boot picker is so long, over 45 seconds

there is also a quirk you can try before

I do not have modern experience on acquantia ethernet

 

[fabiosun]

config.plist.zip

 

@backinblackx86here i added the quirk and the set 2 of the caseys's patches for aquantia

 

if you like to try

 

then we should do another tries disabling a patch 😉

let me now if you want to try

 

[backinblackx86]

Okay, I backed up the EFI and swapped out the config.plst, going to reboot now. Stand By...

[fabiosun]

 

from my latest config put yes on two acquantia patches if only the quirk is not enough

then disable algrey patch (i hope it will work without it)

 

[backinblackx86]

your plist boots but the Aq controller does not appear. I am going to attempt enabling the two patches now

[fabiosun]

is it enabled in moherboard bios?
