ACPI aml and Bluetooth receiver #15

Closed lazosweb closed 11 months ago

lazosweb commented 2 years ago

@vulgo Regarding the ACPI aml files I had a "stupid" idea yesterday to copy your ACPI aml files from the repo in my EFI which made the hackintosh unbootable. I had to create another bootable USB stick to go into recovery mode, mount the EFI and restore the old aml files from a backup that I had.

The question. The repo's AML files are not for this board? I cannot use them? I only have SSDT-AWAC.aml, SSDT-EC.aml, SSDT-PLUG.aml and SSDT-USBX.aml... you have more...

Regarding bluetooth. I have an ASUS USB-BT400. I think now in Monterey I have also the BlueTool.kext... Anyway, if I have my bluetooth sony wh-1000xm3 connected to it and I am just like 30cm away from the dongle, if I turn my head the signal it's lost and the music shutters due to poor signal.

The question. Is this just a bad/unsupported bluetooth dongle or something that has to do with the USBs. I ordered a new m.2 card which has both Wireless and BT hopefully it will help.

Any feedback from your experience is appreciated... :)

ACPI Files in this repository

SSDT-AC-WIRELESS-INTEL

Maybe useful for Windows or Linux users with certain Intel wireless cards. Maybe useful for macOS users using Intel wireless cards. I have no idea. I removed a lot of code from stock table xh_cmvd4 so this is an option to restore possible lost driver functionality for cards listed at the bottom of /README/README-SSDT-xh_cmvd4.md. I have no idea if it does anything useful as I don't have one of these cards. I know it does nothing if you don't.

SSDT-AWAC-DISABLE

This is the standard SSDT-AWAC but does nothing if method _SB._INI already exists, it lets all OS use RTC

SSDT-AWAC-HPET-DISABLE

Same as above but stops using the High Precision Event Timer like Apple did around when Kaby Lake rolled out. Again does nothing if method _SB._INI already exists by prior SSDT creating one

SSDT-PLUG

Standard SSDT-PLUG for enabling CPU power management incompatible with the SSDT method for providing CPUFriend data, i think it is originally by RehabMan

SSDT-SBUS-MCHC

Standard SMBUSPCI loading, AppleSMBUSController loading and Memory Controller device creating SSDT maybe originally devised by MasterChief, OpenCore has it so here it is as well

SSDT-SLTP

Sets an SLTP value when we go to sleep, it is from here where there is more, maybe for laptops with S0 low power states. I once found it to resolve a sleep issue so since then always include it, as the blog post says it is read by various drivers and I prefer they read normal S3 sleep if that is the sleep state being entered. On the other hand it may do nothing.

SSDT-USBX

This is documented at /README/README-usbtool.command.md in the spoiler

SSDT-xh_cmvd4

This is documented in /README/README-SSDT-xh_cmvd4.md
