[Guide] - SSDT with Pike's PM Script and use with CPUFriend

Yep followed the guide perfectly. Maybe for some reason which I cannot explain it’s not reading the Coffee Lake.cfg. I know it’s reading the User Defined.cfg because if I leave a couple spaces or something the CFG file should not contain it complains in the output showing such lines in cfg needs attending to. This happens when you don’t edit them in terminal with like nano or equivalent editor that will not change the format of the cfg. If I remove the Coffee Lake.cfg it doesn’t complain is why I suspect that for some reason ssdtPRGen is not reading the Coffee Lake.cfg file but it is reading the User Defined.cfg.

I have never been so baffled by something like this.

in the data folder that is in your ⁨Users⁩ ▸ yourname ▸ ⁨LibraryssdtPRGen⁩ data folder in the user defined doc did you add as so

#

i7-8750H,35,600,2200,4100,6,12

)

as i added an give it a try

Yes added that exactly as you have and exactly as instructions say.

[erroruser]

looks like you added in wrong

[osxfr33k]

looks like you added in wrong

 

I attached the wrong file I was testing my friends CPU check the new file I attached and let me know if you see anything wrong with it.

[erroruser]

there is no file

[osxfr33k]

there is no file

 

Sorry here it is this one does not work maybe you can explain I cannot see anything wrong with it.

User Defined.cfg.zip

[erroruser]

this is how it should be

[osxfr33k]

Sorry I made another mistake again sent you the wrong file. Here is the one that is not working.

User Defined.cfg.zip

look at the pic i posted as its the same as i posted in the pic as it shows your missing the "#"

yours

gUserDefinedCPUList=(
i7-8750H,35,600,2200,4100,6,12
)

my edit 

gUserDefinedCPUList=(
i7-8750H,35,600,2200,4100,6,12
#
)

Well either way thanks for really helping me try to understand I thought the # just comments out anything so it won't think its part of the script I didn't realize you need the # before the close parenthesis ")"

Ok One last time what is wrong with this file, I left 2 devices inside this file does not work either.

User Defined.cfg.zip

[erroruser]

all i can think of is cause your removed all the other information

[osxfr33k]

all i can think of is cause your removed all the other information

 

Exactly what I am thinking to but something is going wrong and maybe that is why others have reported same issue unknown CPU then aborts. I stripped down your original cfg down to just one device took out everything left no spaces. Just left information above. Here is your file stripped down works perfect. So maybe a good idea to have your file in that DATA folder, because I kept downloading that DATA folder using a new User Defined.cfg and added the information exactly as the one I have attached just now and the one I modify from that DATA folder never works but the one you sent I can hack it to death and it works no matter what.

See attached and thanks again!

Edited:

I think I know the possible problem something with the filename or the way the file was created. To prove this what I did is create an empty file in terminal with the touch command , then pasted all the contents of the file I attached in this post and ssdtPRGen runs fine and creates both the ssdt.dsl and ssdt.aml ACPI files.

Edited Again:

To compound this issue even more something really strange happens when I get a message unknown software and it aborts, I open the user cfg file up again using nano and it shows me an older cfg file not the current one as though somehow it was kept in buffer even though I exited nano cleanly so now I am thinking its something going on with nano in terminal under 10.14.4 causing these problems. I have to think about using a different editor maybe vi or an editor specific to cfg files, maybe a gui editor for MacOS.

Hello brother, when you get to this part:

./ResourceConverter.sh --acpi + drag ssdt.aml returns (invalid) and I can not continue because the route is invalid

Hello brother, when you get to this part:

./ResourceConverter.sh --acpi + drag ssdt.aml returns (invalid) and I can not continue because the route is invalid

Did you drag the ssdt file into terminal after typing "./ResourceConverter.sh --acpi " ?

solved bro
