[SOLVED] Dell E6530 Sierra issue

[Tricchi]

I installed macos Sierra on my Dell E6530 with Clover latest version. The version of the BIOS is A13. It works all but the USB ports 3. I also recognized the bluetooth but the USB ports are 2.0. I used the kext usbinjectall over the FakeSNC and others that I can not remember. In config I tried to enable all options in USB Devices but nothing has changed. You can help me?

Thank you all.

USB3.0 ports are XHCI type whilst USB2.0 ports are EHCI type. Apply the DSDT adjustment to XHCx device as/if necessary and USB ports should work OOB. They do on my E6230. All details here.

 

You may also follow JakeLo's guide for this model family.

I have set the boot in Legacy. Do you think it necessary to set the boot UEFI?

[Hervé]

That's nothing to do with USB3.0 ports. Don't confuse things. Afaik, you can keep your boot mode as it is.

I send you the screen of the USB ports. I send also EFI zipped. Thanks.

Try adding FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext

In the DSDT, make sure:

1) that your USB3.0 device @00140000 is named/renamed to XHC (rename all instances as necessary)

2) that you set OSYS to 0x07D6 for Darwin or Win2006:

   Scope (_SB.PCI0)
   {
        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (0x07D0, OSYS)
            If (CondRefOf (\_OSI, Local0))
            {
                If (_OSI ("Windows 2001"))
                {
                    Store (0x07D1, OSYS)
                }
                If (_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP1"))
                {
                    Store (0x07D1, OSYS)
                }
                If (_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP2"))
                {
                    Store (0x07D2, OSYS)
                }
                If (_OSI ("Windows 2001.1"))
                {
                    Store (0x07D3, OSYS)
                }
                If (LOr (_OSI ("Darwin"), _OSI ("Windows 2006")))
                {
                    Store (0x07D6, OSYS)
                }
                If (_OSI ("Windows 2009"))
                {
                    Store (0x07D9, OSYS)
                }

Now USB3 work but I would try to operate the HDMI port. You can help me?

You'll need DSDT patches and FB patches. See here

Attach your DSDT/Config.plist if you need help with it.

Here are my DSDT + Config. Thanks.
