I have a UAD Satellite TB2 I'll try out, but the machine simply won't boot with the PCIe one, no matter the slot I put it in. I also have a Titan Ridge card that I can try out

Can't get any UAD working on this build. Tried Thunderbolt and PCIe and it won't boot into the os once I install the UA driver, restart and plugin. no mater what order I try. WAVES plugins are also buggy and crash Logic at times.

I think you are missing few things ,
OpenHfsPlus.efi
AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext for iMacPro1.1
AirportItlwm.kext for Wifi adapter I have the same adapter working
IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext if you have Bluetooth
IntelBluetoothInjector.kext must be included with IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext

and the most important ACPI reset USB from your own PC using SSDTTime-master
step 1-Dump DSDT
step 2-FakeEC
step 3-USB Reset
and remove SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml
use only:
SSDT-EC.aml
SSDT-USB-Reset.aml all USB will work

and check your log opencore-xxxx-xx-xx-xxxxx.txt

Thank you ddk:

Are there patches that have to be injected for these kexts?

You might want to check out Fabiosun's thread here, where many of us have worked on the Threadripper since March, 2020.

Adding MMIO data is a bit complicated. First, you have to run the Debug, not the Release, version of OpenCore to get the above text information, as well as change some settings in the Misc/Debug section. The MMIO data will change if you update your BIOS or change BIOS settings (such as Above 4G).

I wrote a lengthy description there on page 33, at comment 85469 on Sept 7, 2020 on how to obtain and enter your MMIO data. (I'm not able to embed the comment link for some reason; my post is about 2/3 down page 33; https://www.macos86.it/topic/3307-t...hes-yes-it-worksbutproxmox-is-better/page/33/).

There is another thread on that same forum where I worked extensively on TB. I could, flashing TB ROM to the TB AIC, get TB to work reasonably well, but there was never any USB-C functionality. TB AIC work better on the Z390 platform (with most of the hard work done by CaseySJ on another forum).

HI. The timing is important. I remember you that i am on a x570 chipset and i have a TB3 version. and i didn't flash the TR card.
1 Remove your UA2 PCI card
2 You switch on your computer and after you listen your computer booting, then you switch on your UA2 thunderbolt.

Hi @centraljava Sleep isn't one of those things that is important to me, honestly sice I work in the Audio field and view this as a workstation stand point. I will say that I pulled the TB3 gear and I'm working on trying to fine tune it, since it super unstable. Since my last post, I created some SSDTs and have a larger part of the USB ports working, but the 3.2/USB-C port works in a odd way right now. More to come I guess... Thanks for the kind words!

Hi @imdrecordings, did you use the ASrock Thunderbolt 3 AIC without any cables to mobo? I am planning to test it on my Proxmox Big sur VM. Just wanted to know how to hook it up. I will be using it with an Antelope Orion Studio Synergy Core. Same mobo and 3960x

HI @brianfromspace . I flashed a Titan Ridge with the Mac/DSM Firmware and the TB started working. Truthfully, though the machine is working I barely touch it. Power is hooked up to the card with a jumper.

Ah ok, i thought u had the Asrock trx40 creator with the Asrock TB 3 AIC working as you stated in original post. Im afraid flashing is beyond my capabilities. I was hoping for a software solution. Any way you can help out with the Asrock TRX Creator & Asrock Thunderbolt 3 AIC rev.2.0?

Hi @imdrecordings, could you please explain how you got the ASrock TB3 card working on the Asrock Creator mobo? I really need TB3 im afraid as my Antelope Orion Studio Synergy Core's USB 2.0 connection with a Proxmox Big Sur VM is very laggy.

Hi, just following this thread, I have a Threadripper 3970X (32Core/64Threads) Asrock TRX40 Creator that I am trying to install High Sierra (due to my old mac software) onto using OpenCore 0.7.1

I have a Samsung NVME 980 Pro as the target drive, the problem is that the install freezes with 2 minutes remaining. I don't have Windows 10 and therefore can't use SSDT-Time to dump the DSDT and generate a custom DSDT based on the Asrock TRX40 Creator. I have tried acpidump.efi in OpenShell and have dumped the DSDT but could not find the necessary entries to make a custom DSDT manually. As I suspect based on the posts here that the pre-built 'SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml' may be the problem through loss of USB support.

Would anyone here using the Threadripper 3970X (32Core/64Threads) Asrock TRX40 Creator combo be willing to share:
SSDT-EC.aml
SSDT-USB-Reset.aml

for me to try?

I'm not sure if a Linux alternative to deploy SSDT-Time would work either. I am also getting a USB enclosure for the Samsung NVME 980 Pro to update the firmware.

cheers JT

Any luck out there getting upgraded to Monterey? I’m using OC 0.7.5 and it works great big sur on my Asus Strix TRX40-e. But it wont upgrade. When i run the downloaded upgrade file it goes all the way through then goes in to a continual boot loop, never makes it to the installer.
