macOS on DELL XPS13 (9350)

This project targets at giving the relatively complete functional macOS for XPS13 9350. Before you start, there's a brief introduction of how to finish powering up macOS on your laptop:

1. Create a vanilla installation disk(removable disk).
2. Install Clover with UEFI only and UEFI64Drivers to the installation disk just created.
3. Replace the origin Clover folder with the one under my Git/XPS9350-macOS/CLOVER.
4. BIOS settings:

• AHCI instead of AHCI RAID

5. Install macOS
6. Once you finish installation of macOS, you can do the following steps to finish the post installation of macOS

How to use deploy.sh?

Download the latest version installation package/directory by entering the following command in a terminal window:

git clone https://github.com/syscl/XPS9350-macOS

This will download the whole installation directory to your current directory(./) and the next step is to change the permissions of the file (add +x) so that it can be run.

cd XPS9350-macOS
chmod +x ./deploy.sh

Run the script in a terminal windows by(Note: You should dump the ACPI tables by pressing F4/Fn+F4 under Clover first and then execute the following command lines):

./deploy.sh

Reboot your macOS to see the change. If you have any problem about the script, try to run deploy in DEBUG mode by

./deploy.sh -d

Note: For two finger scrolling you need to change the speed of the Scrolling once to get it work and also have to enable them in Trackpad preferences.

TODO List

Next week I have 3 final exams, so I will be back in next Wednesday! What I will do next week are listed below

- Remove patched ACPI tables directories(precomiple, raw, comiple) every time before acpi compile - Add reboot fix ResetAddress = 0xB2 and ResetValue = 0x73 to script using auto detection from FACP table - Refine ACPI patches such that all XPS 13 9350 users can enjoy(still in progress)

• Refine AppleHDA
• New FixUSB.sh to fix a bug that external devices will disappear when cold boot into macOS
• Import IOPowerManagement
• ACPI Keyboard
