macOS on Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th Generation, Experimental branch

Warning & Notice

This is an experimental branch for the Thinkpad X1 Carbon Generation 6-Repo by @tylernguyen.

Experimental branch - no docs, no guarantees. Untested - full of bugs - but maybe with new features? :)

Here be dragons! Docs are missing or incorrect at this point. May not boot at all. I am not responsible for any damages you may cause.

Differencies to the original repo

• Native TB-Hotplug-support with complete power-management. See SSDT-TB. Disables the ICM and loads native OSX drivers without patched TB-FW. Enables PM for TB. Broken hotplug for USB 3.1 Gen2 for now.

• Native ACPI-implementation of USB 2.0/3.0. See SSDT-XHC1/SSDT-XHC2

• Enabled DYTC (Lenovo thermal management)

• Disables DPTF (Intel thermal management)

• Integration of YogaSMC

• Hibernation (hibernatemode 25)

• Complete, Battery reimplementation without ACPI-patching or any dependencies besides the one SSDT. Integrates Battery Information Supplement, supports multi-battery-setups and should be compatible with almost all x-/t-series Thinkpads. See SSDT-BATX

• Enables the possibility to run "Sleep State: [Windows]" in Bios to have "modern standby" on Windows and proper S3-sleep on OSX. See SSDT-SLEEP

• Updated for Big Sur

• Cleans up much old and unneeded stuff

• Patches for the X1C6 Touchscreen (via @voodooI2C)

• Relative comprehensive debug-setup for ACPI-development. See Config-Debug

• ~(Beta) "native" ACPI-API for broadcom-wifi-cards to handle complete power-down of the PCIe-interface if the OS requests it. As on genuine machines. See SSDT-ARPT~

• ~(WIP) Enables DeepSleep on S3 for OSX~

• ~(WIP) Support for S0-DeepIdle (or ACPI-Sleep/Modern Standby/Always on always connected, however you wanna call it)~ doesnt seem to be helpful in terms of suspend power draw

• ...

Expects patched bios, ~patched TB-firmware~ and latest versions of everything. Big Sur only atm.
