Hardware Upgrades and Tools

The bundledWiFi andNVMe is not compatible with macOS and should be replaced. Please find below the recommended replacement parts, already tested for compatibility. Usually I need to deploy for testing 4-5 node Kubernetes cluster with at least 4Gb per node. So 32GB is a necessary upgrade for me.

🔄 Usage

How to install

  1. Usestonevil's guide for modding BIOS

  2. Fill theSMBIOS section at PlatformInfo in config.plist file

  3. UseOpenCore Vanilla Laptop guide to doing config.plist and create Bootable USB

~Extra~

  • Please createUSBMap orUSBPort.kext (Use Hackintool to do this) after install for best USB plug experience

  • Extra Method to Mapping USB Ports is usingUSBToolBox on Windows, the method is similar toUSBMap but you can mapping your USB Ports on Windows.

  • Createone-key cpufriend if you often use battery, power-plug always is not recommended for best battery life

📩 Specific things

Helpful Utilities
BIOS

You will have to change DVMT pre-alloc size to 64MB, and you can't do that via stock BIOS, please see how-to in here -BIOS Unlock - stonevil

WiFi + Bluetooth

You have to find out your WiFi Card to attach kexts to the EFI and config.plist

GPIO Pinning

There are hotpatches & ssdts that might be specific for a particular laptop, I think trackpad GPIO pinning might be one of them, please check your pin number as per -GPI0 Pinning, and modify SSDT-I2C if needed (currently pin number is set to 0x64 in there)
