[DSDT] Renamed devices to mac specific ones

[fbifido]

Renamed devices to mac specific ones questions?

 

 

 

 

1. Does this damage any windows installaion? or should i ask does windows xp/vista/7/2008 use the BIOS DSDT?

 

2. Does this affect any linux OS?

 

3. Which devices should me renamed?  and renamed to what?

 

4. Is there any How-To on this topic?

 

5. I love the "DSDT editor and patcher", it's good.

 

    but i had to use DSDTSE by EvOsx86 team to understand the iasl error message.

I'll help if 1 and 2 and leave the other question for those that know more about it.

 

1, 2) Since you're not actually replacing the BIOS' DSDT, it won't affect any operating system that isn't OS X loaded through Chameleon.

Renamed Devices

I renamed the following Devices in my dsdt.dsl to match a MacPro3,1:

 

Device (MCEH) // Renamed from: MCH

Device (IPIC) // Renamed from: PIC

Device (DMAC) // Renamed from: DMAD

Device (TIMR) // Renamed from: TMR

Device (RTC) // Renamed from: RTC0

Device (MATH) // Renamed from: COPR

Device (LDRC) // Renamed from: OMSC

Device (PRT0) // Renamed from: CHN0

Device (PRT1) // Renamed from: CHN1

Device (EHCI) // Renamed from: EUSB

Device (UHCI) // Renamed from: USBE

 

Fix for USBF: error in kernel.log

The USB Hub Channels (12 USB ports) have now also been renamed properly:

 

Device (UHC1) // Renamed from: USB0

Device (UHC2) // Renamed from: USB1

Device (UHC3) // Renamed from: USB2

Device (UHC4) // Renamed from: USB4

Device (UHC5) // Renamed from: USB5

Device (UHC6) // Renamed from: USB6

 

Not really a visual trade off, but it takes care of this error in your kernel.log:

 

Sep 27 10:04:50 localhost kernel[0]: USBF: 5.387 AppleUSBUHCI[0x6e64000]::start unable to initialize UIM

 

Note: I removed (comment out really) the original Device (USB3) in my dsdt.dsl because it isn't used in the six & six configuration (see also ICH9 datasheet. Link available under: References/Links).

 

Removed Devices

The following devices have been removed with this update:

 

Device PS2K (PS2 Keyboard)

Device PS2M (PS2 Mouse)

Device SPKR (Speaker)

Device FDC (Floppy Disk Controller)

 

Notes: See post #21 for a HOWTO about re-inserting the removed PS2 Devices. And Device (SPKR) is used by Parallels Desktop to BEEP when it starts a virtual machine. Thanks to Beerkex'd for the tip!

you must use the DSDT Editor from this post

Consider following the link you were given already, it should help clear most of your DSDT device name doubts.

You misspell UHCI in both lines, and so it is at the patches repository in file "Mac devices.txt".

a lot of these devices are not in use in OS X at all

renaming RTC, EHCI, UHC* maybe (?) has some sense 

the rest can be deleted or renamed to anything

Device (SATA)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001F0002)  // _ADR: Address
            }

 

no need for PRT* or CHN* inside it

now, and 10 years ago, these two are EHC1 and EHC2, not UHCI
