Lilu — kext and process patcher

[Mork vom Ork]

got one dump question:

 

does the ".dSYM"-files also have to be placed in "EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other"-folder - or just the kext files themselve?

[TheRacerMaster]

You only need the kext, the dSYM is for the debugging symbols (which are stripped in the release target).

[Mork vom Ork]

@TheRacerMaster: thanx.

[Picasso]

I tried this kext with amd R9 390x and not change.

Could work in this powerfull  cards?

 

Thanks.

For me it does work well to some point (Sleep works and it wakes without BlackScreen) but my Card isn´t detected correctly. I use a Sapphire R9-270X (Vendor: 1002, Device: 6810, SubVendor: 174B, SubDevice: E271) which is detected as R9-370X by WhatEverGreen and is using the generic ATY,AMD,RadeonFramebuffer (before WhatEverGreen I used DSDT Inject and Futomaki as Framebuffer). For some Reason I am not able to get HDMI Audio to work (it worked before). DCPI Manager shows me a Pitcarin/Cape Verde HDMI Audio Device (Vendor: 1002, Device: AAB0, SubVendor: 174B, Subdevice: E271) and the GFX0 and HDAU Device in my DSDT are configured like that:

Device (GFX0)
                {
                    Name (_ADR, Zero)  // _ADR: Address
                    Name (_SUN, One)  // _SUN: Slot User Number
                    Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)  // _DSM: Device-Specific Method
                    {

What may possibly be wrong?

Do you use the 1.0.1 release or the 1.0.0?

I use the latest 1.0.1

Added your card subvendor and subdevice with correct name. WhateverGreen.kext.zip

 

As for AMD,RadeonFramebuffer and HDMI - read the FAQ...

[Gigamaxx]

Thank you very much for this long awaited fix, this is great!

 

I have had great success with it for Intel systems with my i3 7350k and pentium G3258 it works well, I even have it on my Ryzen setup.

 

However, with Ryzen I can only get it to work on Sierra 12.5, if I use Sierra 12.6 public release it goes to black screen after boot. I tried many Framebuffer combinations but it still leads to black screen in Sierra 12.6 for Ryzen CPUs, if I use a helper card it shows the Radeon Pro 480/575 so I know it's loading somewhat but it's not fixing black screen after boot. The card accelerates at boot and system is active, just no screen output.

 

It may be a kernel compatibility issue but it would be nice to have it in sierra 12.6 since it has many native fixes for Polaris and fury cards which work better overall than Nvidia cards for Ryzen systems.

You only need the kext, the dSYM is for the debugging symbols (which are stripped in the release target).

I noticed when I opened the .Sym first it ran in terminal "debugging"? When I load the kexts in S/LExtensions first and then open the .sym it doesn't debug, or appear to but it then does a restart.

AirportBrcmFixup

Is it possible to add "AirPortBrcm4360 - fcvo" patch?

[lvs1974]

AirportBrcmFixup

Is it possible to add "AirPortBrcm4360 - fcvo" patch?

Do you mean the following one?

Kext: AirPortBrcm4360

Find: 81F952AA00007529

Replace: 81F952AA00006690

 

You can try DEBUG version of AirportBrcmFixup_1.0.1.kext.zip

And string -brcmfxdbg into boot-args and reboot.

 

After reboot type in terminal:

log show --predicate 'process == "kernel" AND eventMessage CONTAINS "BRCMFX"' --style syslog --source

And put output here.

Did you check installed Lilu version? It should be 1.1.6 or higher.

Type in terminal:

kextstat | grep -i airp

[verleihnix]

I put the kext in /Library/Extensions.

could that be the reason?

[vit9696]

Of course it is the reason. Lilu and friends must go to bootloader kexts unless you use https://github.com/PMheart/LiluFriend.

hi

I get this warning  on boot log how I can fix it>? 

kernel: (AMDFramebuffer) WARNING: Setting ACCELERATOR RENDER WSAA state without flip. Screen corruption is possible!
kernel: (AMDSupport) WARNING: Setting ACCELERATOR RENDER WSAA state without flip. Screen corruption is possible!

thx in advance

I have clean install Sierra 10.12.6 with Saphire HD7870 and its working OOB. Never had to configure IP config list yet so it's untouched. The problem right now is  black screen upon waking from sleep.

 

Never use IGPU as the second card and just leave on most of the time. I figure out that someday this will be fixed.

 

So to solve this problem I need to install the latest Lilu kext to  /EFI/Clover/kext/10.12.

 

But what about  whatevergreen how to install? I notice it's not a kext but something like a plug in.

 

I need to try both but a simple guide and explanation will suffice.

 

 

Thanks

Copy WhateverGreen.kext to /EFI/Clover/kext/other.  Reboot.  That's all.

[jalavoui]

where is the WhateverGreen.xcodeproj ?

 

the logs show entries that i can't find in source code

 

e.g.

 

(kernel) WhateverGreen: (DEBUG) rad @ getConnectorsInfo found 4 connectors")

 

AMDCIHardwaregetFrameBufferBaseAddress 

 

AMDGraphicsAcceleratorpopulateAccelConfig 

 

 

are all this patches available in github ?

Whatevergreen is not fully open source I believe...it's only partly open.

The part that finds the AMD card type and names it is open ... that's what available on git.

The actual core source I cannot find either.
