What are the lines after this? It's probably that you have DDR4 and it is not reading from the first page of the SPD for that module. So it gets a weird value, says that and attempts to set the page to the first one, I'm assuming it then determines your memory fine after that?

 

 

 

No. I couldn't even get it to work on some macs, lol.

I apianti  :)

I think It works with Deploy Studio ?

Also imagr, CasperNetInstallCreator ?

I tried 5 or 6 years ago, I let go of it I could be discouraged, I did not know much about Mac

If Clover could integrate Booting the Net boot install it would be a big plus with lots of fun

Looks fine except for the bank number for the vendor. The bank number is 0x83 but the code expects 3 because it does not take into account that the most significant bit is an odd parity bit.

 

The code in file spd.c for DDR3 masks off the parity bit. Maybe the DDR4 code should do the same. Maybe both the DDR3 and DDR4 code should check the parity first and at least give an error message if it's wrong, then mask off the parity bit:

UINT8 parity = bank;
UINT8 testbit = bank;
for (i=6; i >= 0; i--) { parity ^= (testbit <<= 1); }
if ( (parity & 0x80) == 0 ) {
    DBG("Bad parity bank=0x%2X code=0x%2X\n", bank, code);
}
bank &= 0x7f;

Bank 3, code 0x13 is manufacturer "Geil". Is that correct for your ram?

 

How does this SPD data compare to the "Get Smbios" part of the log? Is there a valid manufacturer name there?

Feature request: Fix brightness range (max brightness) on 10.12.4+ (tested on HD3000)

         

           OperationRegion (IGD5, PCI_Config, Zero, 0x14)            Field (IGD5, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve)

            {
                Offset (0x10), 
                BAR1,   32
            }


            OperationRegion (RMB1, SystemMemory, (BAR1 & 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0), 0x000E1184)
            Field (RMB1, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
            {
                Offset (0xC8250), 
                LEVW,   32, 
                LEVX,   32
            }


            Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
            {
                LEVX = 0x07100000
            }

 

 

Setting LEVX to 1007 (max brightness for Sandy Bridge) gives me full range of brightness using AppleBacklight.kext without having to binary patch. I think this could be implemented the same way as SetIntelBacklight (which doesn't fully work for me BTW, breaks brightness slider).

 

Hope more people find this useful.

Note that this is fixed with my SSDT-PNLF.aml.

(other fixes needed too: AppleBacklightInjector.kext + AppleBacklight patch)

I only have the above code under igpu in DSDT and that gives me full brightness range.

You will not have correct brightness levels without the appropriate data for AppleBacklight.kext.

'Default' (look in ioreg under PNLF->AppleIntelPanelA) will get you close, but not perfect.

And a side effect/feature of making a match, is that you can customize the levels.

Another thing to note: The code required is different for Haswell and later because the PWM registers are laid out differently, and the PWMMax used is also different (actually depends on ig-platform-id in use).

I have to switch off this option too, it breaks brightness (Dell E6430 with Ivy).

I think your proposition can be applied as new option SetIntelMaxBacklight.

 

In my case brightness works with default clover FIX_PNLF. No new kexts.

In system I did the trick:

insert USB keyboard.

Control Panel -> Keyboard -> Shotcuts -> Screen (it appears due to USB keyboard). Thanks to Andrey1970.

and set Reduce brightness F1, Increase F2. Other key-combinations are not working.

Full brightness range requires patching AppleBacklight.kext Info.plist or an injector (like I use).

You will not get the lower levels if you match on 'Default'.

Now i have a suggestion feature for kext load by clover.

 

Could we add an list in clover boot GUI to select or cancel one or more kext.

 

It is not just related with kext injection but also have good effect in update system.

 

Sometimes when i update osx it shows kernel panic and i find the kext cause it but i must use such as PE to delete this kext to make me update successfully.

 

If we have this list option can cancel some kext injection it will be more convenient for us to avoid some strange kernel panic which related to some unstable or incompatible kexts.

 

Thanks.

I also think about this menu. Should be made.

Temporary you can use Shell provided with Clover to delete or move kexts from Clover folders.

fs0:>rm -r EFI\CLOVER\kexts\Other\Bad.kext

UINT8 parity = bank;
UINT8 testbit = bank;
for (i=6; i >= 0; i--) { parity ^= (testbit <<= 1); }
if ( (parity & 0x80) == 0 ) {
    DBG("Bad parity bank=0x%2X code=0x%2X\n", bank, code);
}
bank &= 0x7f;
Bank 3, code 0x13 is manufacturer "Geil". Is that correct for your ram?

 

How does this SPD data compare to the "Get Smbios" part of the log? Is there a valid manufacturer name there?

 

Thanks for the proposition. I committed it to 4193 and want to see tests.

I will implement this but make please more accurate for the value

0x07100000

or

0x0710

or

or

0x1007

Sometimes my GPU fails, mainly on coldboot. I have to make a restart to get the nvidiawebdriwers to work.

 I am using Lilu and NvidiaFixup kexts, and I use iMac 17,1 and 18,3 smbioses

 

 

2017-09-06 07:10:47.897014+0200  localhost kernel[0]: (NVDAStartupWeb) <NVDAStartupWeb`NVDAStartupWeb::probe(IOService*, int*)> NVDAStartupWeb: ERROR: failed to find NVRAM registry entry

 

 

<key>nvda_drv</key>
<data>
MQA=
</data>

 

The nvram key / value pair for the webdrivrs are always present, what could be the problem?

0x07100000

or

0x0710

or

<1007>

or

0x07100000 is correct. (at least for Sandy/Ivy, newer iGPUs might need other values)

 

Just tested build 4194 with SetIntelMaxBacklight=True and it works perfectly. I get full range of brightness.  :D

Nice.

Can you find Intel datasheet for this setting?

Thanks for the proposition. I committed it to 4193 and want to see tests.

I tested SavageAUS's build 4194 and compared my debug log before and after. The output for ScanSPD is unchanged for me because my ram is DDR4 with vendor "G Skill Intl" which is from bank 4 in memvendors.h, which has odd parity bit set to 0, so it doesn't have the problem that vendors from bank 0, 3, 5, 6, and 9 have.

 

truesoldier should see an improvement in ScanSPD output because he has "Geil" ram (bank 3) which has the odd parity bit set.

Probably it should resolve old problem

Yeah that's what I thought, so I did it on my Haswell laptop before and it made no difference with my backlight.

I wasn't sure that the max brightness issue affected newer models.

 

Anyway, for Haswell and Broadwell, LEVX should be 0x0AD90000 and Skylake and Kabylake should be 0x056C0000.

 

Perhaps this patch should be dynamic according to device id / CPU model. Or maybe customizable in config.plist
