what's about USBMapInjectorEdit.command? Is it temporary to disable unuseful ports?
I can use USBMap/ USBMapLegacy/ USBMap Dummy depending which boot method, right?
And I don't understand much about S, C, L Option. Anyone can explain for me? Thank!
I did like screenshot is properly?
Hey there - as I mentioned in the other issue:
Correct - it just gives you a quick, cross platform way to edit the injector. It makes it easy to toggle ports on or off within an existing injector (like the dummy USBMap.kext).
I also added the ability for it to change types, add nicknames, etc - it's akin to a self-contained copy of the
P. Edit & Create USBMap.kext
option within USBMap's main menu which works by editing, and not creating a new injector kext.
But - as you've asked here, onto the current questions at hand:
I can use USBMap/ USBMapLegacy/ USBMap Dummy depending which boot method, right?
USBMap and USBMapLegacy just leverage different IOClasses. AFAIK USBMap will work, even on older OSes - but some may have better luck on pre-Catalina OSes with USBMapLegacy.
And I don't understand much about S, C, L Option. Anyone can explain for me? Thank!
The IOKitPersonalities within USBMap and USBMapLegacy are bound to a certain SMBIOS - if you change your SMBIOS and intend to reuse the same map - you need to change the SMBIOS targeted within the injector to match the target machine via the S
option.
C
changes all IOKitPersonalities to use the new AppleUSBHostMergeProperties
IOClass- which is what USBMap.kext uses by default.
L
changes all IOKitPersonalities to use the older AppleUSBMergeNub
IOClass - which is what USBMapLegacy.kext uses by default.
You can still respond in the prior issue you had posted - I've just closed it is all.
Hopefully that answers your questions though?
