MSI B450i Gaming AC, Ryzen 3900x, RX 5700 XT, BCM94352Z

[Obelix]

I joined team red and swapped my Core i5 for a R9 3900X.
I followed the excellent Dortania guide and got inspiration from Portrayer's GitHub.
There is still plenty to do but I'm on a good path

The only issue left is the microphone port.


HW Config:

• MSI B450i Gaming AC
• Ryzen 9 3900X
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16
• Gigabyte RX 5700 XT OC
• BCM94352Z NGFF card. (no BIOS support though)
• Evolv Shift Air
• Arctic Liquid Freezer II 120

Software:

• OpenCore 0.5.8
• macOS 10.15.15
• Windows 10

What works:

• Boots up (ApfsDriverLoader.efi. I get a very slow boot with just OC 0.5.8)
• Wifi (AirportBrcmFixup.kext)
• Bluetooth (with the USB SSDT and BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext.)
  • The order of the Kext matters !!
  • Compiling yourself does not always lead to usable kexts.
  • For multi-boot, I used Hackintool to export the Bluetooth keys as Windows registries.
• GPU with H264 and HEVC HW Decode/Encode. (Device properties+WhateverGreen+ agdpmod=pikera)
• SSD TRIM (OC Patch)
• Windows dual boot
• DP Audio out
• Analog Audio out (AppleALC.kext)
• Sleep!!! I could not get it to sleep because I was injecting the radeon Pro W5700X device properties. Sleep works beautifully now that I removed it!
• iCloud
• iMessage: make sure to add a "built-in" device property to your ethernet port. Also remove al the "ids" items from the iCloud Keychain before trying to activate iMessage.
• Boot Virtual Box VM from physical Windows drive

What does not work:

• Microphone port (AppleALC.kext)
• Boot chime
