What's working?

1. Almost All.

What's not working?

1. For WIFI montherboard, due the firmware upload problem of the new batches AX201(bluetooth 5.2) in macOS Monterey, onboard bluetooth was not working. I also don't want to add the corresponding wifi driver, it is recommended to use official apple wifi card. Already supported.

⚠️:

• OpenIntelWireless's IntelBluetoothFirmware driver has been able to support the Bluetooth of the new batches of AX201 in Monterey. You can add kext by yourself. Already supported.
• Sidecar doesn't working because the internal graphic card of the 12th gen intel CPU was unable to drive.

Generate your PlatformInfo [!!!Important!!!]

To use this EFI, fllowing this guide: using-gensmbios to generate platform info and filling info into opencore config PlatformInfo - Generic.

About CpuTopologyRebuild.kext [!!!Important!!!]

This kext spoof e-core as logical core of p-core, which increases the chance of p-core being scheduled in 12-gen heterogeneous CPUs, resulting in better single-thread performance(the chance of p-core being scheduled at 8C20T is greater than that at 20C20T). In virutal machine, multi-thread performance was also increased.

So, If your CPU is not 12600(f/k/kf)/12700(f/k/kf)/12900(f/k/kf), remove this kext and remove the -ctrsmt boot args!!!

About Onboard Wi-Fi and bluetooth [!!!Important!!!]

This EFI already supported for onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but it is not enabled by default.

1. If you want to use onboard Wi-Fi, enable AirportItlwm.kext.
2. If you need to use onboard Bluetooth, enable IntelBTPatcher.kext, IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext, BlueToolFixup.kext.

Support for other AMD GPUs

This EFI supports 6000 Series AMD GPUs.

Changes are required to support 5000 series and below. See AMD GPUs # for more details.

About USB map

Maybe you need to make some changes to suit your USB and case, current usb mapping is from yzchan(thanks yzchan for saved us a lot of time).

Disbale NVMe drive

If you want to disable a NVMe drive that doesn't support hackintosh, just enable ACPI - Add - SSDT-DNVMe.aml, it will disable the NVMe drive which inserted into M.2 slot 1.

You can also change _SB_.PC00.PEG0.PEGP to disable other NVMe drive or PCIE devices. See: fixing-nvme for more details
