OpenCore bootloader with development SDK

[erroruser]

im having an with OpenCore also with nvme m.2 as they are not showing in the boot selection only ssd

[Cyberdevs]

From what I know OpenCore is in its early days of developments and there must be some issues with drivers and hardware recognition.

I even tested the OC on my old SandyBridge and it won't boot either lol

So for now the only system that I successfully booted from is my SkyLake rig.

Let's hope that in the next releases it brings support for more hardware

in my hacks skylake+ work good, very stable

Yeah I guess the OC is working best with newer hardware.

@MaLd0n , here is my current efi folder.

Could you modify it for opencore? I woudd love to try it.

Thanks in advance.

still having issues with nvme m.2 evo not showing in the boot selection

I noticed that OpenCore Detects my Samsung EVO 960 nvme drive. But since it has my main macOS on it I didn't try to boot into it using OC.

[ref]cyberdevs[/ref], ya for some reason not for me an Maldon has the same nvme as i can only see ssd cards no m.2 ugh

2nd UPDATE: Alas, booted SKL laptop with OpenCore successfully after much tinkering. However, still need to figure out how to load I2C kexts. I'll take a rest now

1st Post: Urghh, still not able to boot on my SKL laptop!

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], laptop boots good now. All kexts loaded but have not solved i2c device yet. And anyway, whats up with the screenshot? Its not detected as MBP

[ref]onemanosx[/ref], change smbios(PlatformInfo) and add kexts in kernel(kernel/Add)

[onemanosx]

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref],

I think kexts loads good. But no I2C trackpad.

I2C trackpad is now working simply by moving VoodooGPIO and VoodooI2CServices above in config.plist so they load firstly, then add VoodooI2C and lastly VoodooI2CHID.

I use the following instructions to compile OC and the efi drivers, But I can only use the oc package i compiled with the efi drivers you compiled. The efi drivers I compiled don't work. Could you help me to compile the efi drivers? Thank you!
