SSDT for EHxx & xHci devices

I know this is long overdue and that I no longer using this build specifically. But, recently I helped another hackintosher to work on his USB ports. I do not know what board he used, but looking at the ioreg and DSDT table, I knew he used an old generation build similar to mine.

The build includes

a. USB 2.0 bus named EH01 and EH02

b. xhc VIA chipset USB 3.0

Since, his total xhc USB ports are less than Apple's 15 ports limitation, his build do not require the use of kext to patch at all. This is also a similar scenario for my board. But, his USB 3.0 although unsupported by usbinjectall will not work at full speed without the aforementioned kext.

Lets deal with his EH0x USB 2.0 bus first.

1. Renaming EHC1 to EH01 and EHC2 to EH01

This can be done in clover hot patch if DSDT tables uses EHCx instead of Apple's EH0x.

2. Details of EH01/EH02 ports in IOREG

He mentioned he'd like to eliminate the rest of the ports except the ones he used i.e PR11 and PR21.

This is a simple solution by using an SSDT as below.

                       0xFF, 
                       Zero, 
                       Zero, 
                       Zero
                   })
               }
           }
       }
   }

   Scope (\_SB.PCI0.EH02)
   {
       Device (EH02)
       {
           Name (_ADR, Zero)  // _ADR: Address
           Device (HUBN)
           {
               Name (_ADR, Zero)  // _ADR: Address
               Device (PR11)
               {
                   Name (_ADR, One)  // _ADR: Address
                   Name (_UPC, Package (0x04)  // _UPC: USB Port Capabilities
                   {
                       0xFF, 
                       Zero, 
                       Zero, 
                       Zero
                   })
               }
           }
       }
   }
}

 

3. Details of USB 3.0 device

As for his xhc devices, he wanted properly named ports aside from wanting for them to work without using kext.

Please note that not all unsupported VIA chipsets will work with this method! He is lucky that this ssdt activates his USB 3.0 ports running at full 5gbs speed! Even on my build, the USB 3.0 VIA chipset is unable to work even with use of kext!

Final Conclusion

With the SSDT in place inside Clover's ACPI patched folder and included in the sorted order, here is what we have! Looks clean and neat!
