Acer Aspire A515-51G

>>>: Disclamer (updater)

  • This branch is a pre-build for opencore and BigSur (11.0), so if you use master branch You'll need:

    • update Clover to 5122 or newer,
    • boot from "pre boot" on Clover. To do that, press F3 then select preboot drive,
  • If You are on version <= 10.15.6 clone or Download catalina.15.6 branch

>>>:

  • CPU : Intel Core i5-8250U (base 1.6GHz, boost 3.6GHz, syntetic load stable 2.4GHz, cinebench 1200pts)
  • RAM : 4GB DDR4 unknown soldered onto the motherboard, 4GB DDR4 ADATA 2400MHz
  • GPU : Intel UHD Graphics 620 2048MB
  • dGPU: NVidia MX130 2048mb (disabled using DSDT patches)
  • HDD : Western Digital Blue 01984 1TB
  • AUD: : ALC 255 layout-id: 31 / layout-id: 3 (try both and decide which one is more stable for your setup)
  • WIFI : Dungle TP-Link 725N

what is not working:

  1. Wi-Fi card (You will need to replace it to the oe that's compatibile - DW1560 will do.)
  2. OOB combojack (FIX AVAILABLE) Note: If you want to use combojack and only internal mic - use layout 3. If you want to use headset use layout 31.

WARNINGS:

  • Default Wifi card DOES NOT work under MacOS and will never do. Bluetooth might work - but it's power managament is not supported, so you are stuck with always on BT.

Post installation

If you are using an SSD make sure to enable the TRIM support:


$ sudo trimforce enable

!After installing clover rebuild kext caches and kernel cache then!

reboot and enjoy!
