GUIDE How to Enable Thunderbolt 3 Hotplug on macOS

[Alectardy98]

Thank you so much for the hel-
Okay ill try again

It is saying that the IOReg file is too large to upload (6.9 MB) it's against the rules to add an external link so ill just add a screenshot
Also, I can not open the SSDT-Z390-TB3HP.aml file unless I convert it to a .dsl ( I'm not sure why)

I think my issue is with the SSDT-Z390-TB3HP.aml

Would you be willing to change it for me because I am unable to do so ?

My Clover folder should be correct now

I'm not sure if it is part of it but now I'm getting i2cwr error at clover bootloader

Thanks for the guide! This worked perfectly on my Gigabyte AORUS PRO WiFi with the GC-Alpine Ridge card. The only difference for me was I had to set GPIO Force Power to Enabled in the bios for Thunderbolt to work at all.

That's weird.

Here are few issues.

• The alc boot arg must be removed and a correct layout must be inject via Device section.
• The BIOS directory must be removed from the drivers directory.
• You should consider removing the following drivers.

NvmExpressDxe-64.efi
OsxAptioFix3Drv.efi
VBoxHfs.efi

• Whatever your Ethernet Device is, use that kext only. Remove the irrelevant kexts.

Hi EliteMacx86,
I try your hotplug method but nothing change exept it show TB info in PCI information.
And I have a TB issue with or without your method :
TB don't work anytime ! At the first boot on the morning (computer was off during night) TB peripherial don't mount and there is no TB info in PCI info section. I must restart computer to made TB work. And if I need to restart during the day TB work twice on three time. If I shut down computer it is same issue.
Do you have an idea ?
