Ryzen Threadripper TRX50

[backinblackx86]

NOTE: This is a work in progress and I am keeping log of my work to better troubleshoot...

I am now following the Open Core Install Guide to create a TRX40 debug boot drive. While in the past I have used pre-built SSDT's for much simpler systems, I imagine this time around I will need to learn more about ACPI.

I created a fresh OPENCORE GPT volume on a 16GB USB 2.0 disk. The disk contains 0.9.7-DEBUG along with a com.apple.recovery.boot folder of Ventura.

EFI/OC/Drivers

HfsPlus.efi
OpenRuntime.efi
ResetNvramEntry.efi

EFI/OC/Kexts
Lilu.kext (1.6.7 debug)
VirtualSMC.kext (1.3.2 debug)
WhateverGreen (1.6.6 debug)
AppleALC.kext (1.8.8 debug)
LucyRTL8125Ethernet.kext (1.1.0 debug)
AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext
SMCAMDProcessor.kext (0.7.1)
AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext (0.7.1)

EFI/OC/ACPI

SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml (Pre-built)

I launched SSDTTime and dumped the DSDT, however, I am not exactly sure what to do with it.
I opened up ProperTree and performed a "clean snapshot" of my OC folder with the sample.plist renamed as config.plist.

Booter>Quirks>DevirtualiseMmio TRUE
This is new to me: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/extras/kaslr-fix.html

I applied the AMD Patches as I previously have for my Ventura/Sonoma AM4 system as well as followed through the rest of the config.plist guide. The KASLR-FIX is new to me and I will attempt to "whitelist." Going to reboot and see what the log says.

VERY slow to boot the USB…painful but it did make some progress…

currently hanging at : Couldn’t alloc class “AppleKeyStoreTest”

Attached is my debug log...I have not attempted the KASLR-FIX yet, however I do see the following in my log:

Nothing seems out of the ordinary...I will share my config.plist as well

 

[backinblackx86]

I am in the process of adding the whitelist to Booter>MmioWhitelist

I have 10 entires, 0-9, am following the format of the guide and am using an online hex to decimal conversion tool. Once I finish this, I will reboot and attempt a boot, I will then upload an updated config.plist and log.

Well I tried…asking for a hand now

 

[backinblackx86]

Well I guessed and added string=0 to my boot arguments and disabled IOMMU in my bios…now I see the support.apple.com/mac/startup with the stop sign

 

[backinblackx86]

I removed the string boot argument and receive the same result as earlier …must be something simple, always is, right?

 

[backinblackx86]

I read over the AM5 guide again and looked at a few TRX40 configs. I am still stumped…will give it ago again soon…

I launched SSDTTime and dumped the DSDT, however, I am not exactly sure what to do with it.

One actually needs the full set of ACPI tables, DSDT and all the SSDTs.
Since you're using a DEBUG version of OpenCore, just set Misc>Debug>SysReport: true
This will drop the whole set of tables, together with a list all PCI devices and other goodies to peek through.

Attached are three ZIP files: v01 Config.plist, System Report, and DEBUG LOG

I'm surprised you can even go that far without SSDT-CPUR (or SSDT-PLUG-ALT).
The various memory quirks are not fully in accordance with Dortania's guide (DevirtualiseMmio: true, SetupVirtualMap: false for TXR40), but the guide may not be up to date or the most accurate, and it may be that you have to try all possible combinations. AMD experts here will hopefully advise.

For those interested, it is up and running. Fabiosun over at Macos86.it helped out with an SSDT

Gigabyte TRX50 installation success! :)

Hello, I am new here. I am trying to boot the Ventura installer on my 7960x Trx50 system without any luck… https://forum.amd-osx.com/threads/ryzen-threadripper-trx50.4776/ trx50-config-oc-log.zip

The trx50 system is spectacular, aqc113c work, usb4/tb4 work with hotplug without bios reset.

Congratulation! Can you share your final EFI at this for I can't sign up in macos86.it. I have simillar HW configuration. THX a lot.@backinblackx86

Hello @backinblackx86 ,

My computer has specs similar to yours (with an AMD Ryzen threadripper 7970x). I'm interested in installing macOS Ventura as well. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your finalized EFI.

Thank you in advance,
Jerry

 

[backinblackx86]

@Lorys89 made some specific patches for my setup. How similar are your specs?
