Thanks for looking into this, by the way! I should add that to complicate matters, I'm stuck on an older beta BIOS that supports Thunderbolt. They removed the support in subsequent updates and scrubbed any mention of it from their site and documentation. The only visible remnant is the Thunderbolt header on the motherboard, still labeled in their diagrams too.

 

So you have no bios settings for THB?

Is the USB connector connected to your mobo?

I will check with @PMheart about your CPU:s. That might shed some lights over this problem.

hi @obus

 

I finally got my cpu XCPM worked,but it seems not work like the windowOS does. The CPU cannot work at full speed all core

 

I have tried lots of opencore configuration, but still not boot properly 

 

now I still stay clover bootloader v5033 with FAKECPUID

 

Can u share your opencore ?thx!

thanks for u share 

but i cannot see the boot select screen , only get black screen stay still.

i got the oc 0.0.3 can get boot select on the screen but cannot boot

so there are lot's of work to deal with

No BIOS settings visible but while I was looking through the BIOS disassembly, I did find a bunch of settings hidden. Perhaps I should be modding the bios to make those things visible considering I'm going to be stuck on this version forever. Much easier than having to keep tweaking that grub version.

 

The USB connector is the one part of the card I was not able to connect to the motherboard. I don't have a USB 2.0 header on the motherboard. Is it necessary for the card to work in macOS? Is there a way to add a USB 2.0 header via a PCIe card that might work in that case?

Could you please send me your IOReg with the MSR unlocked and the SSDT-XCPM.aml implemented.

 

Will get that to you momentarily!

I need it for working THB.

Use this. Just put in MLB, Serial and UUID.

If you have a SSDT-PM enable it in config and put SSDT into ACPI -> custom. 

Don't change anything else.

EFI.zip

 

Hi obus,

 

I got nearly the same hardware as yours. Just an different CPU.

Do I need to change anything for the W-2125 CPU ?

Tried your EFI.zip from the post of June, 9. but it crashes during boot, I guess on graphic init.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?

 

Thanks,

Try this EFI. It should work with your hardware. This is the debug version so if it crash during boot you have a log file in the root of your EFI.

You need to put in your own iMacPro1.1 generic platform information in the config.plist.

Try WITHOUT my SSDT-ALL.aml if it not works in the first time.

It works, thanks a lot.

CPU will always be recognised as unsupported. As long as you have XCPM working everything is fine. Then your CPU is working as it should (sort of).

With this command from terminal you can check if you have XCPM working:  sysctl -a | grep xcpm.

In IOreg it should loo like this:

As long as you have your THB-card in slot PCIEX4_1 and thunderbolt enabled in bios on that slot my SSDT-ALL.aml should work. The same for your Vega 64 if  it's connected to PCIX16_1. EC USB-bus power should work and of course XCPM with that SSDT.

 

You need USB plugged in for your THB TitanRidge card.

IOReg looks like it.

 

In the System Information it says for Thunderbolt: No drivers are loaded. GC-Titan Ridge is in Slot PCIEX4_1, Thunderbolt header, USB and power cables are connected. The card works in Windows.

No drivers is correct in system information

Try to start your pc with a ON thunderbolt device and see If your system see it

Hot plug could be very tricky, maybe a correct SSDT for it is necessary

BlackmagicDesign eGPU is connected on start.

System can't see it.

If it is seen in windows it is a different problem

from the link below you can find a rig and some infos with 2 Vega 64 internal card and 1 in thunderbolt box

some problems to solve, but gfx is seen by the system

sorry, it is in Italian language:

This could be a culprit. I've never tested with a eGPU but hot swap works like a charm with my Buffalo-disk.

This is my IOReg wit my disk attached:1720295490_Screenshot2019-08-21at11_57_47.thumb.png.71d1f92a5151a8e3e4f5e5fcc9521308.png293193052_Screenshot2019-08-21at11_58_54.thumb.png.845029af9b12a27e92b3c6e5fdc2bde5.png

Working XCPM so you are fine with your CPU.

About Thunderbolt my integrated SSDT-ALL.aml should work. What are your settings in bios?
