I can't seem to figure out why my virtualsmc plugins are not loading, neither cpu nor superio

 

The machine

 

HP Z440 (c612) E5-2683v4 (Broadwell)

opencore 0.8.5 monterey

power management is working using the guide applied all apci files including ec-usbx etc

 

processor is not picked up correctly, showing unknown in about this Mac, but its right everywhere else, like geek bench

 

performance is as good if not better than windows, sleep works, idle watts are like 46, so good

intel power gadget can show temps, and its showing good power management 

 

just can't get virtualsmc plug ins to load , thus no istat info, not even basic cpu temp.

 

any help appreciated in advance.. thanks

 

@vit9696 any ideas.. anyone else for that mater!!

@STLVNUB thanks for at least replying .. however, I have been hackintoshing since pretty much the beginning and I read and can follow guides, so obviously I have my kexts setup correctly and my plist in the right order.

 

reading on how virtualsmc works vs fakesmc, and that it relies heavily on the apple frameworks and data from real Macs my thoughts are this is just something programmatically the developers have not coded in.

 

I am using a c612 series based chipset in the HP Z440, and with its single processor, it is using a processor that not only has apple never used a E5-2683v4, but also a core count 16/32, that apple never used in that family of processors, so, just like getting 'unknown' for processor in about the Mac, my geuss is its also not matching quite a bit between my dsdt/ssdt and the rest of the kernel stack

 

unusal is that the setup is very stable, all power management is working, and sleep/wake is the best I have ever had on any hack I have ever build, but no sensor data or support kexts loading for vitualsmc.

 

if I use fakesmc3, I get all the sensor data for the cpu, but its very unstable, boot loops, crashes, even believe I got some corruption in nvram and it completely corrupted an apfs volume to the point I needed to do a clean install.  So I am stuck using virtualsmc, just with I could give the devs the details they need to incorporate this chipset into the codebase but @vit9696 or anyone else on the virtualsmc team have replied

I have been hackintoshing since leopard... glad to see the community is responsive to questions ... not.. 

 

 

Me Too, I must say it gets easier as Mac OS Updates
