[Acer PT14-51 Laptop] HowTo

ASUS Vivobook · October 14

Laptop's Motherboard : Acer Predator PT14-51

CPU : 14 Core Intel i7-13700H

Integrated graphics : Intel Iris Xe Graphics (Raptor Lake gen)

Dedicated GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU

Bios : Insyde UEFI V1.08

Final working stable versions of my OC config.plist with native NVRAM.. to change the Platform - Generic part, I'm still using those serials, btw generate it with the generator in the Opencore guide... boot arg lilucpu=17 isn't always needed but my system resulted like gen unknown so I must use it... dGPU must be disabled taking your path with gfxutil app (https://github.com/acidanthera/gfxutil/releases) .. I'm using Sonoma 14.7.1 so SMBIOS setupped at MacBook16,2 but maybe is better to use ventura..

BTW

- Touchpad is still not working

- Keyboard sometimes isn't recognized so for example the command button doesn't work

- Screen turned on and off isn't working during the installation

- audio is not setupped

- It detects (to me) a generic iGPU card with 15 MB of ram

GUIDES

- I have followed this guide : https://chriswayg.gitbook.io/opencore-visual-beginners-guide/advanced-topics/using-alder-lake

- followed @jalavoui hints in the later part of this topic for better config parameters

- follow this topic can help too

Here two config.plist, one for weg (good both latest weg from acidanthera or lshbluesky forked one - trying to develop a forked v. of the forked v. of lshbluesky v. working for RaptorLake too) , one for nootedblue (that works to me - with some problems - using gen7ICL & graphicschedulerselect=0)

I've resolved with an "hama" usb ethernet adapter (the package told compatible for win and mac both)

With this kext instead of whateverergreen it works too.. but still only 15 mb of ram and no acceleration ... but detected as Intel Iris Xe Graphics that is true..

@ASUS Vivobook

Congratulations. Your iGPU is not working yet at 100%, but as far as I know this iGPU is not yet able to be completely installed on macOS.

Using Whatevergreen (instead of nootedblue) (latest version) putting only AAPL,ig-platform-id taken by the previous "nootedblue conf" it gives to me a

iGPU : Generic iGPU 15MB
PCIe : Intel Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics]
AAPL,ig-platform-id <02005C8A>
device-id <A0A70000>

- and emulating kernel like this (https://chriswayg.gitbook.io/opencore-visual-beginners-guide/advanced-topics/using-alder-lake) but maybe better inserting Ice Lake kernel datas (i applied the Fake but setting the Ice Lake CPU ID 0x0706E5, instead of Comet lake of the guide mentioned) :

Cpuid1Data : E5060700 00000000 00000000 00000000
Cpuid1Mask : FFFFFFFF 00000000 00000000 00000000

It's working but still 15 MB of RAM on system informations and no acceleration (either metal or QE/CI graphics acceleration didn't work)

So, today i discovered that there is a little bit accent of support tò Raptor Lake gen.. i think i must wait future release of Whatevergreen tò have full support.. or maybe i'm not seeing right the Hackintool logs ..

How can i get and where can i get HW Graphics debugging for fails with Whenevergreen kext ? Please tell me precisely

I want to investigate on the reboot of my machine with tiger lake spoofing... i don't understand very much easier in this topic...

-liludbg ?

Add -liludbg to enable debug printing (available in DEBUG binaries).

-wegdbg ?

Enable debug printing (available in DEBUG binaries)

Must i use debug version of the kexts?

-v ?

Any other methods?

This is the folder i can access from windows

I've found E:\private\var\log\system.log but there are no related messages .. i cannot reach to find/to have log output or system log related to the graphic fail.. i cannot understand without these

[EDIT] I'm looking now inside Mac with dmesg or Hackintool... nothing found related to graphic or framebuffer loading..

Edited October 21 by ASUS Vivobook

ASUS Vivobook · October 22

I'm going forward and reaching to understand how nootedblue (rebuilded from master version) works.. before i used it without inserting my real device-id that is "0xA7A08086" in info.plist IOPrimaryMatch .. i've updated/erased some early posts

Edited October 23 by ASUS Vivobook

jalavoui · October 22

since you're in adl i think it's better to discuss it here.

to get logs open terminal and paste

log show --style syslog --predicate 'processID == 0' --last 1h --info --debug > /tmp/x.log

then open /tmp/x.log

1st step is install the framebuffers kexts in /L/E

next build and install hookcase.kext in /L/E

fix permissions for kexts /L/E - os x will ask for permission to use the new kexts. if this fails delete /Library/KernelCollections/AuxiliaryKernelExtensions.kc

bulid nblue.kext install in opencore kexts folder. add your card id to the correct info.plist entry

boot with -v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1 IGLogLevel=8

dont use whatevergreen with nblue !

on panic,hang some logs will be on /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

as for adl cards i think enabling/disabling some patches (from nblue or whatevergreen code) might make the framebuffer to load

your config.ini don't need PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) if using nblue

Edited October 22 by jalavoui

ASUS Vivobook · October 22

Found nothing of useful with

"log show --style syslog --predicate 'processID == 0' --last 1h --info --debug > /tmp/x.log

then open /tmp/x.log"

I've found a method : is that to remove IONDRVSupport.kext from the system ... but I don't have a root with write permission

I've got csrutil disabled but Authenticated Root status: enabled

[EDIT] But wtf is a kext in use ... i cannot perform this...

Edited October 22 by ASUS Vivobook

jalavoui · October 22

very bad idea remove iondrv - it is needed by other kexts.

when your system is fine just install the kexts i said in /Library/Extensions

image.png.c956c285e0711f3f043d506d986bf656.png

you only will get logs after correctly install nblue

don't mount the system rw - you only will break it.

i would start by installing only this 2 kexts +hookcase.kext in /L/E

image.png.e7717108cbbcb8f5393c37680345cd0f.png

and test for loading using kextload -v

then try load nblue in opencore

when all his is done check for log files and post them here

btw get a linux log file for your card so we can check how it works

I've strip down to the bone my config files however... adding this to wg doesn't change... maybe with the linux log things could go better

u forgot to use debug args

image.png.91c94adf74dd8fd678d2074f5b9c685d.png

you can remove the linux boot args as it produces huge log files when done

i use this boot args to get logs - but only if nblue loads to boot screen

it has produced a syslog file of 40Mb

and i have done "sudo truncate -s 0 /var/log/syslog" before restarting so the file was cleaned
