Dell Studio 1557 Discussion Thread

Update:-

- Update to 10.6.5 without any problem

- ATIRadeonX2000.kext doesn't cause kernel panic anymore but if booting with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, you'll see garbage screen on internal monitor. If boot without GraphicsEnabler=Yes, RadeonHD.kext work properly for native resolution support. Didn't test with external monitor yet. Anyway, I use this script just for precaution to prevent kernel panic during update:-

i=0; while ([ $i == 0 ]); do if ([ -d "ATIRadeonX2000.kext" ]); then i=$(( $i + 1 )); echo "ATIRadeonX2000.kext found $i time"; mv ATIRadeonX2000.kext ATIRadeonX2000.kext.10.6.5; else echo "ATIRadeonX2000.kext Not Found"; echo "Resetting..."; i=0; fi; done;

- Need to patched AppleHDA binary with audio codec ID.

- Looks like C-State & P-State as usual working, I think. I can see the CPU frequency changes between 0.99GHz to 2.66GHz. Monitored with MSR Tools.

- As usual CPU run much cooler compared on windows.

- Now using Chameleon 2 RC5 r629.

Kizwan I desperately need your help. Have been trying to get various different versions of OSX up and running on my 1557 for about 6 weeks now, several hours every day and am completely stumped. Using your method I have managed to get 10.6.5 running with pretty much everything you've got minus Speedstep/Fan control which is driving me insane. I've loaded your DSDT file which boots fine but something's not right about how my machine is recognising my processor - 4 cores but not 2 threads per core. I've tried running msr tools to take a look at my speedstep settings but when it opens the window is empty, i suspect because speedstep isn't working properly. Which kext should i be using to take care of power management (something seems to be blacklisting appleintelcpumanagement.kext but i'm not sure if this is right)?

Sorry if this isn't enough info to work with, let me know if you need to know anything else.

Thanks

New update at first post. I have uploaded my Extra folder, updated DSDT, how to patch AppleHDA binary (well, not step by step guide), etc.

It would be nice if everyone share your experience in this thread. Discussion on how to reverse engineering the ATI driver would be nice too. Especially why the driver doesn't detect the internal LCD. I found out that on Dell Studio 1557, the internal LCD is connected to or using TMDS instead of LVDS. I already checked real iMac7,1 with ATI GPU & I found out it use LVDS.

Hi Kizwan!

I tried to PM you, but was unable to.

We could really use your expertise, if you are willing and able.

Thanks!

I can't boot the vanilla 10.6 disc.

I use the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] disc to load snow leopard. I've tried -x , -v , -x -v options but any of those works. While booting without any of these - I can hear it loads the disc but then it hangs after few seconds. With -v it shows something like this:

Read HFS+ file : blablabla
Loading Darwin 10.6

Loading kernel ...

Read HFS+ file..

(few of those)

ACPI table not found: DSDT.aml

No DSDT found, using 0 as uid value.

Using PCI-Root-UID value:0

Framebuffer @0xD0000000 MMIO @0xFC000000 I/O Port @0x00000000 ROM Addr @0x00000000

ATI card POSTed, reading VBIOS from legacy space

and then it freezes.

When booting with -v -x it loads sh*tload of kexts off the disc and then clears the screen and hangs.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Oh, and I'm doing all of these on Dell Studio 1555.

/edit

Could this be the result of having two ext4 partitions (linux) on hard drive? I just read that there should be only fat32/ntfs partitions on the hd.

Sorry, I won't be able to help you with the OS X installation. Probably you'll need to use other boot CD to boot successfully on your notebook.

Which one did you use? Which ones would you recommend to try?

kizwan · March 16, 2011

I'm using Chameleon 2 bootloader.

It freezes after you see the "ATI card POSTed, reading VBIOS from legacy space" message is because it use Kabyl's boot file which doesn't contain device ID for our graphic card (0x9553). Please try EmpireEFI boot CD to install OS X on your Studio 1555.

Then, when OS X already up & running, you'll need to install Chameleon 2 bootloader on local disk.

kizwan · March 26, 2011

Bootloader:-
- I didn't change anything in the bootloader (from trunk) except my graphic card's default framebuffer. I changed it from Peregrine to Shrike.

[*]SMBIOS machine identifier:-

I use smbios.plist to set machine identifier to iMac11,1.
smbios.zip
smbios.plist file should be in "Extra" folder.

[*]DSDT:-

I only add basic fix in it. The usual fix are:-

LPCB fix (AppleLPC). The Low Pin Count bus, or LPC bus, is used on IBM-compatible personal computers to connect low-bandwidth devices to the CPU, such as the boot ROM and the "legacy" I/O devices (behind a super I/O chip). With improved communication, it also improved everything including power management. For example, notifying the LPC peripherals that power will soon be removed. The result is CPU will run much cooler. If your notebook's LPC's device ID already in the AppleLPC.kext, you don't need this fix. The idea of this fix is to "change" the LPC's device ID to the one available in the AppleLPC.kext.
```
            Device (LPCB)
           {
               Name (_ADR, 0x001F0000)

               {
                   Store (Package (0x02)
                       {
                           "device-id", 
                           Buffer (0x04)
                           {
                               0x02, 0x3B, 0x00, 0x00

               }
```

Rename my video device from M86 to GFX0. This is purely cosmetic. I only inject EDID for the internal LCD (purely cosmetic) & hda-gfx for the HDMI audio support. Regarding the EDID injection, I found on some real macbook pro, EDID is injected at Port 0 (@0). So far I didn't see any advantage/improvement from it, so I guess it is just cosmetic. My HD4570 already working great. I also inject HDAU in M86/GFX0 for HDMI audio support.

RTC fix. Change the Length value to 0x02 to prevent CMOS reset after reboot/shutdown or crashed. Removed IRQNoFlags (forgot what it is for but recommended fix).

HDEF fix for audio support. This works with patched AppleHDA or legacy AppleHDA kext.

PNLF fix for backlight/brightness support. Can put this after LID0 device.

        Device (PNLF)
       {
           Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP0002"))
           Name (_CID, "backlight")
           Name (_UID, 0x0A)
           Name (_STA, 0x0B)
       }

Added PRW control method in ADP1 device for AC adapter/module support.

        Device (ADP1)
       {
           Name (_HID, "ACPI0003")
           Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)

               0x0A, 
               0x03
           })

SBUS fix for OSX usage. If the SMBUS's device ID is not in the AppleSMBusPCI.kext, will need to inject it's device ID too, the same way I did with LPCB device. Below fix is added at the end of the SBUS device.

            Device (BUS0)
           {
               Name (_CID, "smbus")

                               {
                                   0x00
                               }

                   }

           }

HPET already correct, so no need to fix it.

[*]My com.apple.Boot.plist:-

Remark: The DropSSDT=Yes is to drop/skip BIOS's SSDT table. This is because I already incorporated it in DSDT. If you applied speedstep fix, you'll need to use this parameter. My Studio 1557's cpu's speedstep already working out-of-the-box. I just make it better (using BITS to obtain it).

Hi, i ve got also a dell 1557 i7 720qm, mobility radeon 4570 512mb, but wled 1920x1080.

Thanks for your topics about this notebook, i m able to run osx 10.6.6, but no qe/ci yet. I used your kexts and patched files.

After hours of reading, it seems to be a problem with the dual link dvi support. The injector dont recognize it properly , (if i m right). But i m noob with hexadecimal and compilation, can you help me to resolve this, i m ready to make test

Here is the output of radeon_bios_decode (i think it will be the same as you, but i would verified), and the dmesg in linux :

Correction, it's dual-link (a.k.a 2 channel) LVDS transmitter.

Yes the radeon BIOS dump is identical with mine.

This is connection table for our GPU:-

CRTC0 > DIG1 > UNIPHYB > HDMI: Encoder=0x00 Transmitter=0x20

CRTC1 > DIG2 > UNIPHYE > LVDS: Encoder=0x01 Transmitter=0x12

CRTC1 > DAC > DACB > VGA: Encoder=0x10 Transmitter=0x10

Patched connection table:-

--> 00000000: 02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 01 00 01 (LVDS)

--> 00000010: 10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 10 01 06 (VGA)

--> 00000020: 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 00 02 02 (HDMI)

These are what I want you to try (please test the boot file first):-

Please try this modified boot file. It inject missing property from latest macbook pro. In this boot file, our GPU will use Shrike framebuffer. Rename it to boot & installed it.
boot.mobility.0x9553.zip
(This boot file is compiled from trunk which contain modified ati.c file. The modified ati.c file can be found here.)
If with the above modified boot file, you still unable to get LVDS working properly, please change the LVDS's transmitter (please keep using the above modified boot file):-
CRTC0 > DIG1 > UNIPHYB > HDMI: Encoder=0x00 Transmitter=0x20
CRTC1 > DIG2 > UNIPHYEF > LVDS: Encoder=0x01 Transmitter=0x02
CRTC1 > DAC > DACB > VGA: Encoder=0x10 Transmitter=0x10

Patched connection table:-
--> 00000000: 02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 02 01 00 01 (LVDS)
--> 00000010: 10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 10 01 06 (VGA)
--> 00000020: 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 00 02 02 (HDMI)
Offset of Shrike connections table (3 connections):-
- 32bit: 0x00037298
- 64bit: 0x00010F80

Please let me know the results. Good luck.

Hi,

Thanks to take time for that

Ive tried the two patched connection with your boot file, in 32 and 64 bit , and unfortunately it was not working.

But in the two cases, i am able to boot normaly with "graphic enabler=yes", and the screen appear in 1024x768, my graphic card is also detected, and apparently the monitor isnt detected

The strange thing is that it recognize 1024vram, and ive got 512...

I used your dsdt is it a good thing?

Ive got ioreg output, but i cannot upload them, i will retry later

Yes, you can use my DSDT.

Just zip it & upload here OR upload it at mediafire.com & post the link here.

The ATI4600Controller.kext is not loaded. Please execute this command in terminal to refresh the kexts cache & then reboot:-

sudo -s
touch /System/Library/Extensions

(Below is just regular news for our notebook)

Updates

I found out the "ATI4570.Fix.v2.kext" in Extra folder caused the HDMI audio not working. Please removed "ATI4570.Fix.v2.kext" from the Extra folder & add our graphic card's device ID in ATI4600Controller.kext (0x95531002) like this:-
```
						<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
					<string>0x94901002 0x94881002 0x95531002</string>
```
I has reworked on the audio paths & pins configurations. Now I'm able to get both headphone ports working but only one port will work at one time (auto-switch - when headphones plugged in, internal speaker will "mute"). I tried to put both headhone ports at separate path so that we can configure 5.1 surround later but failed. When I tried it, the audio on the internal speaker & one of the headphone ports will mute after a couple of seconds (maybe 10 - 20 seconds, I didn't really counts it). Probably need to figure out the correct MuteGPIO's value. The one calculate from linux's codec dump doesn't work. For now internal speaker & both headphone ports works brilliantly in auto-switch mode. Internal mic & external mic (works in Line In mode) works with auto switch too. Except the regular sound assertion "Sound assertion "kTypePinComplex != fType" failed in...", I managed to reduced it to only these two lines sound assertions:-
```
Apr  1 23:09:46 kizwans-iMac kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != result" failed in "/SourceCache/AppleHDA/AppleHDA-199.4.12/AppleHDA/AppleHDAPath.cpp" at line 1181 goto Exit
Apr  1 23:09:46 kizwans-iMac kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != pathSet->getWidgetAmplifierGainRange ( &zeroValue, &minValue, &maxValue, &minDB, &maxDB, kPATH_CONTROL_SPATIAL_CHANNELID_Master )" failed in "/SourceCache/AppleHDA/AppleHDA-199.4.12/AppleHDA/AppleHDAEngine.cpp" at line 385 goto handler
```
The above two lines sound assertions are because I changed the "Ext Mic" to "Line In". The external mic didn't show up in Sound preference in System Preferences. That's why I have to change it to "Line In". It seems external mic works differently on Apple computer.

[*]At Post #42, I did said "HPET already correct, so no need to fix it." but I was wrong. I actually did fixed it (already fixed it in the DSDT) but forgot about it. I just want to mentioned here that I fixed it by adding two IRQNoFlags:-

[*]This is new modified DSDT with internal LCD backlight/brightness support. Fn keys still not working but there is a slider in System Preferences to control the brightness. Unfortunately the brightness setting will reset back to maximum brightness after reboot. In the DSDT I also tried to fix the "USB device forced removal" error (sorry, can't remember the exact error message) after waking up from sleep/hibernate but it doesn't work as I thought it should worked. However, this is latest & recommended DSDT for all:-

dsdt_A08_ssdt_hda_gfx_pnlf_ehci_01.aml.zip

[*]New com.apple.Boot.plist file. Added "DropSSDT=Yes" to use new P-States & C-States which I already put in DSDT. The new P-States & C-States in DSDT are fixed using BITS tool. The improvement won't be noticeable since only one to two things need to be fixed, mostly related to C-States.

Thanks for the update

Ive retried with refreshing kext cache, and ive got this time for the two patched connection with your updated bootloader, a garbage screen in the two cases. Test only with 32 bit.

I will tried to connect a monitor to vga and hdmi, and se what append, and tried to send you ioreg.

There are the ATIFramebuffer that ive patched, let me know if they are rightly patched:

Framebuffer_1.zip

Framebuffer_2.zip

Where is the log output, when verbose booting?

Thanks in advance

***Edit***

the Framebuffer 2 is'not good,

there is a repatched version that i think is good:

Framebuffer_repatched_2.zip

And ive got a garbage screen too

jofox78 · April 1, 2011

This is the garbage screen:

kizwan · April 1, 2011

Framebuffer_1.zip

Framebuffer_repatched_2.zip

These two are correctly patched. VGA & HDMI should working properly but please test both anyway.

I'll wait for the IORegistry dumps.

This is the garbage screen:

This means ATI4600Controller.kext is not loaded.

jofox78 · April 3, 2011

Ok, thanks to have verified my patched files :hysterical:

I have been able to enable 4600controller, and after boot , with the two patched conections, ive got a blank screen for 0,5 sec. and then black screen, the fan run much lower, and the boot sequence seems to be finish. I have retest with a vga monitor, and after with hdmi, the same thing's going, and ive got no output on the external screen.

for the moment i can't have a ioreg output

Setup remote connection. You can connect to your mac remotely via vnc.

I also need you to obtain RadeonHD's log in Mac OS X using dong's RadeonHD.kext. Please use dong's RadeonHD (10/20/2009 update). You'll need to setup remote connection. In the package there is a tool called RadeonDump. Use it to obtain RadeonHD's log. Make sure you installed the RadeonHD.kext first & at least one external monitor connected to HDMI (if possible).

Both of us have identical machine except internal LCD panel. I want to see how dong's RadeonHD detect the link on your notebook. dong's RadeonHD was able to detect mine correctly. I want to compare it with yours.

Hi,

Very useful thing the remote connection

ive got the output with dong radeonhd from 10.20.2009.

I dont know if this informations are utils, i ve made 3 output

1. with a vga monitor : internal lcd black after boot, with backlight, and external monitor working in all res that he can support. When i change resolution from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 with system preference, the internal monitor got an output, but absolutely wrong colors and resolution

2. with a hdmi monitor : internal lcd black after boot, with backlight, external monitor working, when i change the resolution nothing append to internal monitor.

3. just the internal monitor, no external : surprising, after boot ive got the native resolution

This is the folder, inside there are the 3 files :

radeondump_1557.zip

For the moment, i cant post you ioreg with the atiframebuffer patched and your modified bootloader : ive got black screen with backlight, fan running slower, the external monitor, if connected dont work (like if they are disconnected), and i cannot have vnc connections (wich is running fine in other configuration, or with radeon kext, and ive made it to start automatically)

Suppositions :I think that the boot sequence isnt finish, and it block just when the graphic would come.

I will make a fresh installation, and retest
