Yes, detecting banks requires re-thinking.

And how to write in swift?

I'm sure that both of you can find the way to get the RAM manufacturer from System Profiler as you get other data but the manufacturer can be as branch (string) or as number (hex code), and the code by itself says nothing if it isn't converted to the branch. Maybe this piece of info is less useful and more complicated to implement. In my opinion, both forks of ATH are very good without it.

[Slice]

Sorry but information about RAM manufacture contains in SPD as hex codes. It is never string.

Clover is able to substitude the codes from SPD to string in DMI.

https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/blob/master/rEFIt_UEFI/Platform/memvendors.h

@Slice

I see. Clover has this feature but OpenCore doesn't. I've tried Clover 5155 on Ventura (basic settings, just for boot and see About This Hack) and memory manufacturer is well displayed, Corsair in my case, as Clover memvendors.h includes

{ 2, 0x9e, "Corsair" }

and the code in System Profiler is 0x029E.

Thanks for the info.

Hi

 

Is it something like this you want ?

 

 

That content can't be added to Ram Text Field Cell, imagine a MAcPro 2019 with 6 RAM slots, it would be better to create a specific RAM tab

So here (snapshot) it's easy

 

Your version is a mix of last 8-bit-cat ATH and last 0xCUB3 ATH isn't it ?

 

You need in your repo

 1) a new component called ToolTips.swift (with 1 code line, at this time)

 2) a new function in ViewController.swift (func setToolTips())

 3) a new function in YOUR HardwareCollector.swift (static func getMemDesc() ) 

 

1) ToolTips.swif

import Foundation

let ramtoolTip = HCRAM.getMemDesc()

 

2) To add to ViewController.swift

    func setToolTips(){

        ram.toolTip = ramtoolTip

    }

Verify the name of the Text Field Cell (Memory info not the column header)

 

 3) Add that new function in  HardwareCollector.swift (static func getMemDesc() ) just after (or where you want) static func getRam()

...

    static var thesysmemfile = "~/.ath/sysmem.txt"  // put where you want in HardwareCollector.swift or don't use it and replace " + thesysmemfile + " with ~/.ath/sysmem.txt

...

    static func getMemDesc() -> String {

        var memInfoFormatted = ""

        let memoryDataTmp = run("echo $(egrep \"BANK |Manufacturer:|Part Number:\" " + thesysmemfile + " | sed -e 's/$/ /g' -e 's/^. *//g' -e 's/:/: /g' -e 's/:  /: /g' | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/BANK /\\nBANK /g' )")

        let memoryDataArray = memoryDataTmp.components(separatedBy: "BANK ").filter({ $0 != ""})

        for index in 0..<memoryDataArray.count {

            memInfoFormatted += ("BANK " + "\(memoryDataArray[index])" + run("echo \"\n\""))

        }

        return "\(memInfoFormatted)"

    }

 

With Term you'd better to test the egrep commande (removing protectors backslashes)

ie. echo $(egrep "BANK |Manufacturer:|Part Number:" ~/.ath/sysmem.txt | sed -e 's/$/ /g' -e 's/^. *//g' -e 's/:/: /g' -e 's/:  /: /g' | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/BANK /\\nBANK /g')

and the result on my Laptop (old Laptop)

 

 

BANK 0/DIMM0: Manufacturer: Micron Part Number: 8JTF51264HZ-1G6D 1 

BANK 0/DIMM2: Manufacturer: G Skill Intl Part Number: F3-1600C11-8GRSL

 

And, if you would, you could ameliorate that (lol)

 

Regards

@Slice

I guess that Empty Empty occurs when the slot is empty, no memory module, then first Empty is the Manufacturer and second Empty is Part Number.

But I have 4 slots, 2 filled and 2 empty, and I see no Empty word.

But Alpha22 does.

[matxpa]

And if you want or need more info

 

echo $(egrep "BANK |Size:|Type:|Speed:|Manufacturer:|Part Number:" ~/.ath/sysmem.txt \

| sed -e 's/$/ /g' -e 's/^. *//g' -e 's/:/: /g' -e 's/:  /: /g'  -e 's/Size://g' -e 's/Type://g' -e 's/Speed://g' -e 's/\Manufacturer://g' -e 's/Part Number:/Part:/g' \

| tr -d '\n' | sed 's/BANK /\\nBANK /g') | sed '1d'  

BANK 0/DIMM0: 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz Micron Part: 8JTF51264HZ-1G6D 1 

BANK 0/DIMM2: 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz G Skill Intl Part: F3-1600C11-8GRSL

[matxpa]

And if you want to simplify

 

 

And getMemDesc code reduced 

 

    static var thesysmemfile = "~/.ath/sysmem.txt"

    static func getMemDesc() -> String {

        return run("echo \"$(egrep \"BANK |Size:|Type:|Speed:|Manufacturer:|Part Number:\" " + thesysmemfile + ")\"")

    }

This is not my project. 

Origin is https://github.com/0xCUB3/About-This-Hack which came from https://github.com/8itCat/About-This-Hack

But when I took new one I encounter a problem with signing. I have no paid Apple developer account so I prohibited from compile the application. It is not working with crash

About This Hack.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/Sparkle' not valid for use in process: mapped file has no Team ID and is not a platform binary (signed with custom identity or adhoc?)),

bla-bla-bla...

So I found old fork and improve it. It works.

I also add my new features "Acceleration". Memory manufacture (first one) and Serial always hidden.

Also link to our forum instead of Dortania.

 

It is located in https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/About-This-Hack

There is also release version.

On my hack the serial still shows.

I really hope no one takes this the wrong way, but this hybrid ATH app of the original is a bit too busy with information for me from the examples I have seen.

Some examples showing wrong or incomplete Memory modules installed. I don't know, but my thinking is it works better with a Clover install oppose to an OC install.

 

The latest released version of the original ATH has a bug which existed in about 2 versions back which I submitted a bug report.

Although it displays the correct version, it omits the Build Number, I submitted another bug report and was told they recognized there is a bug and it

Spoiler

will be addressed.

The version that works perfectly for me is 0.8.1, I have attached the two versions 0.8.1 and the latest version 0.9.1 showing the difference.

Anybody really want to show own serial number? For a what purpose?

Commits since 0.9.1 resolve that (missing compiled version #41)

Your current ATH: I guess storage data is not right. This is the code:

        return ["""
\(name)
\(size)(\(available)Available)
""",String(percent)]
    }

And the window:

 

Prefixing percent with 1-:

        return ["""
\(name)
\(size)(\(available)Available)
""",String(1-percent)]
    }

And the window:

 

Do you think so? Thanks.

Thanks for the test!

Anyway it is OpenCore fault. Do the same with Clover and see the difference. Clover is older bootloader and better tuned for most cases.

The origin of the bug comes from Apple. Old macintoshes have several bugs in System Profiler including memory Manufacture, Serial, PCI devices and ROM properties.

We are observing how Apple programmers excluded these fields instead of cure them. I decided to not follow Apple but show real values. Let Apple envy us.

 

OK, Clover can't detect DDR5 yet. As well as OpenCore.
About manufacture there is good second field while the program took first one. I need some algo to re-detect memory.

Spoiler

I can't open your version, sir.
