[K_Debugging] Correct wrong info about OpenCore's SysReport #33

Closed 1alessandro1 closed 2 years ago

1alessandro1 commented 2 years ago

I noticed that in this paragraph there were some misconceptions about how OpenCore's sysreport feature works.

If there're any questions feel free to ask below

Thanks for your suggestions.

  1. But instead of linking to a generic prebuilt EFI which might be outdated at some point, it would be more useful to know which settings have to be made so that the dump wokrs without a bootable config – independent of the OC version.

  2. As far as dumping the Audio Codec is concerned: I compared the files created by SysReport vs the one I created in Linux and it seems that all required info is contained within the SysReport dump, so Linux is no longer required.

The prebuilt EFI is there for those who haven't already installed macOS and require to get the most logs out of their firmware/configuration, and it has the minimal config.plist setup to boot OpenCore and log as much info as possible

(The sysreport setting alone is able to debug motherboard/laptop model, ACPI tables, PCI info, Audio etc which is 99.9% of what is required to make an EFI)

If the user requires to log only a certain parameter or to get to know more about a specific event (e.g. if a driver is loaded correctly, or a Kext is preloaded correctly) then he can read OpenCore's Configuration.pdf since everything is already documented there

Okay. But I correct the text myself.

I was following this guide for building an AppleALC layout-id. And with the Codec dump by OpenCore generating the svg which visualizes the audio rrouting of the codec does not work. With the dump from Linux (as I'Ve written before) it does work.
