SMBIOS

What's this?

OpenCore will generate a complete SMBIOS for your system according to information provided in the PlatformInfo section of config.plist and a dataset derived from Apple firmwares. GenSMBIOS is a python script that uses acidanthera's macserial to generate required serials and unique identifiers.

The model identifier used to generate serials should match SystemProductName in the PlatformInfo section of your config.plist
...
<key>PlatformInfo</key>
<dict>
    ...
    <key>Generic</key>
    <dict>
        ...
        <key>SystemProductName</key>
        <string>iMac18,2</string>
        ...
    </dict>
    ...
</dict>
...

Model Identifier Graphics Configuration
iMac18,2 Haswell PCIe AMD graphics card
iMac18,1 Haswell HD Graphics
iMac16,2 Broadwell

Update config.plist

Edit the PlatformInfo section of your config.plist so that the MLB, ROM, SystemSerialNumber and SystemUUID values are unique to your machine.
