Enable USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port on AS Rock Z490 Phantom Gaming ITX/TB3

OK

I enabled the two SSDts changed BIOS settings and now Hackintool looks like this:

Connecting the HomePod did not turn the USB-C port green but I don't think it behaves like a USB key so I'll get one later.

But as the port seems to be seen by Hackintool maybe I don't need to remap all ports but generate a new kext+SSDT-EC-USBX.aml and replace the ones I currently use and that should be enough?

I've attached IOReg and the new USBPorts kext I'm not currently using, if everything looks right, I'll replace the kext in my EFI and post a last set of full PR files for the road...

Thanks!

It looks good.

Yeah, a new kext should be good. You don't need to replace SSDT-EC-USBX.aml
 
Last PR files for the road 🤞 Does everything look ok now for USB-C and TB 3?

I'll get a USB-C key next week to check and confirm that the implementation actually works.

Thanks! This thread can be closed then unless it's ok to keep it open until I get a USB-C key and confirms it works.

If it does, it looks like my Hack is finally all set up, thanks again for your time, I really appreciated this

Hi there,

Little update: I did not manage to find a USB-C key to test the port yet, I did find a USB-A/USB/C adapter but this didn't work (tested both MacOS and Windows) so I think I need to get a real USB-c device to try. Is it possible I did not configure the BIOS properly?

Specifically I am not sure if "Thunderbolt Boot Support" and "Thunderbolt Usb Support" should be left as currently configured or should be set to disable.

PS: Issue with reboot is back, could you reopen the other thread or should I create a new one?

Thanks!

Not all adapters are good. Often, you need a real device to test with ;)

BIOS Settings for Thunderbolt looks good.

It depends on what your IOReg says.

The thread can be reopened.

I guess so. I'll need to buy one device then, will do this but later; it'z not a priority.


IOReg attached


Thanks a lot!
The implementation looks correct and it will remain as it is.
