Good !

Thanks you very much for all the tests.

Stay tuned : I'm now refactoring the properties settings structure and it's a hard one because they are mixed in struct where not all field are used...

When done, I wouldn't be surprised on some other glitches...

Hi all,

I've finally refactor the Device properties management in Clover. That was a huge nightmare, mainly because they were all using the same data structure with some field used in some case and some other never used in some other cases. Finding if something is NOT used is always harder than something where and when something is used !

As usual, any tests are welcomed as I can't test a lot of configuration...

 

I also improved the menu. There is now 3 sub menu in Options->Pci devices :

- Properties

- Arbitrary Properties

- Add Properties

 

They, of course, correspond to the Config.plist section.

In these menu, you can enable/disable each property.

 

So please, confirm that your device properties seems to be well injected.

 

Here is the efi CloverX64-2021-03-31-18-47-00-a5494a8-dirty-jief.zip

It's not committed yet, so please use this file. Do not compile the last commit (it's not working).

You can now check you used the right file once booted in macOs by looking at the system information :

The name must be the same as the efi file name when I posted it.

@Jief_Machak I confirm: Boot fine (Z390 Big Sur 11.3 Beta 5). Thanks for your great work.

I take a look to the submenu of Option/PCIdevices. I don't understand what 'Arbitrary Properties' and  'Add Properties' are ! Because I don't find these sections in Config-sample.plist
 

Properties submenu, I like the checkbox. Is It possible to have also a checkbox for <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1c,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key>, for example. So we can enable or disable all sub-keys in one time

Sorry for my bad 
English.

They exist under Device/Arbitrary and Devices/AppProperties. Maybe you just don't need it.

Probably an injection problem... That's the only thing I've touched.

@eng_redaesm Could you boot CloverX64-2021-03-31-21-48-49-a5494a8-dirty-jief.zip, check that HEVEC is enable and do "ioreg -lw0" > ioreg_ok.txt

Then boot : CloverX64-2021-03-31-21-50-04-a5494a8-dirty-jief.zip. Check that HEVEC in not enabled and do "ioreg -lw0 > ioreg_nok.txt

and send me the 2 files.

I'm afraid that'll be too much work for now, due to the way the Clover menu system works. But I guess one day I'll refactor that too :lol::lol::lol:

I see that Clover is still stuck at this commit,

https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/commit/a5494a89f69a6ba08f12e8d287b97ab100ca0539

if it has already been said, sorry, but I have not read all the posts, but with this the device properties section is not loaded

Yes, I forgot to commit the fix yesterday and I started this properties refactoring.

That's why you have to use the efi I've posted here.

If there is reasonable success, I'll commit everything.

and all my Properties are injected as it should.

@Slice Glad it works. Do you have any Device Properties ? or Arbitrary ? or AddProperties ?

@iCanaro Which one ? There is 2 efi files in the poste you quoted. One is WITHOUT the refactor and one is WITH it. So it's important to know which one do you test.

This one is the refactored one : CloverX64-2021-03-31-21-50-04-a5494a8-dirty-jief

CloverX64-2021-03-31-18-47-00-a5494a8-dirty-jief.zip this one is good too.

Are they in Properties section ? Or Arbitrary section ? Or AddProperties section ?

@Jief_Machak

very strange but test again now both commits has HEVEC  i don't know why or what happened  ioreg_nok50.txtioreg_nok49.txt

I have to say that I'm not sure which log correspond to what !

You both named them ioreg_nok_xx.txt. 'nok' stands for "Not OK'. But then, you said both boot were sucessful. You said "test again" soI guess it's a reboot.

 

So, did you generate ioreg_nok_48.txt with CloverX64-2021-03-31-21-48-49-a5494a8-dirty-jief.zip and you had HEVEC.

did you generate ioreg_nok_50.txt   with CloverX64-2021-03-31-21-50-04-a5494a8-dirty-jief.zip and had not HEVEC.

Then, you reboot CloverX64-2021-03-31-21-50-04-a5494a8-dirty-jief.zip one more time and you had HEVEC.

Am I correct on all 3 statements ?

@MifJpn Please stop apologizing ;). I don't even know what you apologize for. You're fine. You didn't waste time or annoyed anyone. Your contribution is much appreciated. Everything's ok.

Ok. So  that's probably not connected to my current refactoring because it seems to work with the others. That's why I've committed to github.

That said, if there is a Clover bug that causes intermittent failure of the codec loading, we'll track it !

Of course, the first thing to do is to know how to reproduce, because it's matter of luck, you never know for sure if this is fixed or not.

 

So I propose you stick to the last commit for a little time. You check if your codec is ok after each reboot. Have some cold boot too. Then after 10 or 20 boots, we'll see if the bug seems there, and if yes, how often.

You tell me then and will see...

last version is there : https://github.com/jief666/CloverCommits/blob/master/C-20210401110653-69a47c5.efi
