GC Alpine Ridge v2.0 Flashed macOS not recognized in windows 11

Can someone confirm the CG Alpine Ridge Rev 2 is the DSL6540 Thunderbolt 3 Bridge [Alpine Ridge 4C 2015] with PCI ID : 0x1578 Or 15D2
Yes, that's correct.
I tried some bin files but no one work except the : GC-ALPINE RIDGE-NVM21-V3-NATA.bin windows detect the card but no the thunderbolt software and in the device manager I got "thunderbolt 15D2"
Alpine Ridge cards has two board variants. This is why only selected firmware can work.
I am so confused with this card because I can't found the original Firmware to make it back to windows and it's maybe will work easy with windows. Please if someone have a backup file of this firmware please share it.
I have stated earlier that you can extract the firmware from the manufacturer's website itself. You can also contact GIGABYTE and ask them for a firmware and they'll send it to you.
 
Sorry My friend I can't change my windows language but it's the " PCI Express Upstream Switch Port " and I hope you have a solution for this problem !!

Thank you
That means the Device was not initialized correctly. Make sure proper drivers are installed. Restart the system twice to activate the Thunderbolt. Keep the Thunderbolt Device connected during restart.

Yes I tried But in GiGABYTE website under Alpine Ridge rev 2 : https://www.gigabyte.com/fr/Motherboard/GC-ALPINE-RIDGE-rev-20/support#support-dl-driver there are no Firmware or the updater tool.

I already send a message to support and I hope they can give me the rev 2.0 Firmware.

The driver of the "Thunderbolt 15EB" or the driver of the device connected ??

Both, mostly the Thunderbolt Drivers.
 
I tried all the drivers and I think it's not a driver problem, this is the article where is the same problem : https://github.com/intel/thunderbolt-software-user-space/issues/66

I think the Titan Ridge will not accept to connect any TH2 or TH1 device and map it to windows.

Now I really bored with this situation to have 2 Thunderbolt card and I can't make my Apple thunderbolt display to work :(

Any help please ??

Well, we have been able to use Apple Cinema Display exactly on this Motherboard ;)

That's not correct. In fact, we have been able to use TB2 using Apple TB3 to the TB2 Adapter and have always worked with Titan Ridge and Alpine Ridge. We have also been able to use Apple Cinema Display (Dual) in some of our test setups. So, you cannot say that either Apple or Thunderbolt or the Thunderbolt Display is the problem, but it is your implementation.

To allow Thunderbolt Displays to work, you need Custom firmware (mostly like Apple). However, a drawback is once you flash such Custom firmware, Windows and Linux will not recognize the card correctly. However, we have discovered another workaround but have not documented it yet.
Any help please ??
Like the above user, he was able to have other Thunderbolt Devices working? Are you having the same situation as well? As per your previous update, the devices connect but do not show up (Lacie).

Normally, for Windows, all you need is a supported Motherboard, proper BIOS (sometimes modification might be required) and a compatible Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt Device to work. In addition, drivers must be installed for the Thunderbolt and the particular Thunderbolt Device.
 
Thank you my friend for all your time. I will try other solution to solve this problem.

And if you have any solutions or updates just let me know ;)
