This is my OpenCore setup for Ryzen 5 2600, ASRock B450 Pro4 with onboard LAN & audio. It runs Mac OS 11.1 Big Sur and is based on OpenCore 0.6.4.
Replace config.plist with config_release.plist if you want to hide debugging info.
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- Mainboard: ASRock B450 Pro4
- Audio: Realtek ALC892 (also a Creative Soundblaster Z, but see Troubleshooting for info on that)
- Storage: Samsung SSD EVO 840 (SATA) & Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus (NVMe)
- GPU: AMD RX 580
Everything except:
- Power management
- Sound card: SoundBlaster Z (see Troubleshooting)
- Booting Windows from inside OpenCore (BSOD on startup)
- Drivers/Tools/Resources/Bootstrap: As explained in the Getting Started guide. Nothing special here.
- ACPI:
- SSDT-EC.aml: Has to be generated on your machine using SSDTTime. You will hang at [BSSTART] without it
- SSDT-USBX.aml: I think I used a prebuilt here, although I'm not sure, probably from the official prebuilts mentioned in the Getting Started guide
- SSDT-XHC.aml: I have no idea where I got this from, sorry. It's definitely not from ryzen-catalina or ryzenmacpro. You might not need this, but I guess you most likely run into USB 3 issues without it.
- Kexts:
- AMD-USB-Map.kext: My system hung at "IOUSBHostInterface deferred" or smth like that without it (potentially related to SSDT-XHC.aml). Sorry, I don't know where I got this from, I think some dude from Reddit posted it and it worked. Maybe there's an "official" build of this, but I won't touch this unless something breaks.
- AppleALC.kext: I use alcid=2 and it seems to work fine (see Troubleshooting for more info on audio)
- AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext: Not sure if this is absolutely necessary, but it didn't do any harm
- Lilu.kext: Required.
- NVMeFix.kext: Haven't checked if it's absolutely necessary, but my NVME SSD works out of the box (check if you have the latest firmware!)
- RealtekRTL8111: For onboard LAN with Realtek Gigabit LAN
- VirtualSMC: Required.
- WhateverGreen: Required.
- config.plist:
- I set language code to de:3 (German) because MacOS kept resetting itself to an ANSI keyboard (had en_US:0 there first)
- I disabled a few debugging flags to speedup boot
- This is the debug branch with debugging enabled by default, using debug versions of OpenCore as well as all the kexts
- If that doesn't spit out useful info, switch to the debug branch to get the debug binaries as well
- I used OpenCore release to speed up booting (kexts are still debug), so if you run into issues, switch to OpenCore debug first
- System hangs at [BSSTART] (or smth like that): Properly generated EC.aml was missing
- System hangs at "IOUSBHostInterface" (or smth like that): AMD-USB-Map.kext and possibly SSDT-XHC.aml was missing
- Disconnect other sound cards (I almost went crazy until I found this): acidanthera/bugtracker#1000
- How to get 5.1 audio working:
- Create new device in Audio-Midi-Setup.app that connects the 3 lines into a single device
- Mac OS keeps opening the DVD drive on boot. Unplug the DVD drive. Seriously this drove me nuts.
