Enable I2C Trackpad (VoodooI2C) - Not a Guide... not really

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Hello onemanosx in my case even with that kext not show any information or even work the battery... xD

onemanosx · December 26, 2018

[ref]broadw3ll[/ref], implement your battery status and see where that will lead you to. The same info is also given to me by one of the regular community at voodooI2C gitter.

Hi @onemanosx

Great guide.

However i tried it but it doesn't works at all.

The Device is ETPD and it shows in IOReg. But no Trackpad. Let me know what files you need.

Also, i added the CFL controllers to VoodooI2C info.plist

Thanks

[ref]Striker770[/ref], You did not patch your DSDT for working I2C.

This is what I found out for your ACPI table

- IOInterruptSpecifiers is 0x5f (more than 0x2f) you are required to follow steps outlined in post 2

- 0x5f is equivalent to pin 47 (read guide in post 2)

Try boot with attached DSDT. (You may need to rebuild permission and cache upon first boot and reboot again)

That's absolutely correct. It was unpatched. When you asked for files, i patched my DSDT for the same and that caused the delay. But still, it doesn't works. Moreover, the ETPD disappears after this.

onemanosx · December 30, 2018

Have you rebuild cache and repair permissions?

If problem still persist, go to dev site for support. The kexts are still buggy I think. For instance, I am not able to use kexts newer than v2.0.2 in High Sierra or Mojave, and the dev is not able to solve that yet.

I've rebuilded the permissions. But no luck.

I've been using v2.1.4 in HS, Mojave and works like a charm. But this is new Laptop and it's Coffee Lake and i'm unable to make the Trackpad working.

They're not helpful at all. Been there for 3 months. No help yet.

Try these kexts. Use original DSDT or my patched DSDT. I need to see ioreg on both DSDT used.

@onemanosx , can you check my files for proper i2c touchpad ? Works fine but I would like to know your opinion.

Thank in advance.

Send me 5570.zip

onemanosx · December 30, 2018

Works fine but I would like to know your opinion.

My opinion doesnt count LOL I am not even an expert. But your ssdt is doing its magic as expected. Did your write the SSDT-i2c yourself?

mathewgx · December 30, 2018

Yes , after a lot of trials and errors.

I would like to have only the ssdt for i2c without the need for the sta and crs patches on config.plist.

Can you check mine?

onemanosx · December 30, 2018

[ref]Striker770[/ref], I think your issue is with your device support. VoodooI2C do not support your device id. Did you try the modded kexts I had uploaded? Also, what you can try is also to replace the pin from 0x47 to 0x00 from my patched DSDT and return status to 0x0F for device ETPD.

And upload a copy of IOreg for troubleshoot purposes.

Good job on that! I will troubleshoot for mine and see if that will help me get out from being stuck at v2.0.2 kexts.

Edit: Looks like I am stuck at old kexts until the dev does something about it.

Hi, @onemanosx,

Here are my files.

Again, thank you very much!

Kext is loaded and well. Try the DSDT.
