IxianPixel Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have a partial solution to this for 7490's with Thunderbolt. It does not fix Thunderbolt itself but it will allow you use the USB-C port as a USB port. I tested it with a USB drive, an Android device, a keyboard and a mouse. It does require the use of an SSDT. You can't seem to hotswap type-C devices itself. However, if you're using a type-C to type-A adapter, you can hotswap the type-A device. I'm not sure if this is of interest to anyone.

Administrators Hervé Posted January 29, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2020 Don't you think you should share that SSDT? On non-TB models, you can hot-swap everything for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianPixel Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I've managed to get hot-swapping to work now too. Attached is the SSDT. It needs to go into EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched The SSDT assumes your USB-C port is at RP05 which should be the case for 7490. @amthb0 with the 7390 may be fine too. I see it has one fewer USB-A ports than the 7490 so it might be different. If it is, let me know and I can probably sort you out. @Hervé is right, you definitely don't need this if you have a non-TB model. The only reason you need this at all on TB models is because the Thunderbolt port has its own USB controller - seperate from the USB controller than handles the other USB ports.

amthb0 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 @IxianPixel Thank you. I will test and let you know later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 25, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2021 @IxianPixel I think you'll need to accompany the SSDT with an ACPI patch for _RMV .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
