GUIDE How to Enable Thunderbolt 3 Hotplug on macOS

[EliteMacx86]

Hi and thanks for the tutorial. Im having issues with my Alpine Ridge ( not flashed ). I set the SSDT following the tutorial but the system is stuck at apple logo on boot , the bar doesn't start to load. Then if I use a pre made SSDT that I found on the internet I can boot BUT the devices are recognized only after reboot. Any help will be appreciated and I'm leaving my IOreg screenshot just in case. Thanks

No PR files attached.

Hi i did but the only setting available for me is the TB boot support from the MSI Bios table settings. With this enabled and with the premade ssdt it boot the first time BUT apparently there is an issue that cause my my satellite from Univeral Audio throw an error while running in my programs wihtout this setting runs fine . That is why i end up here and start trying to make a new ssdt .

Like i say in my first post the one i made following the guide ( attached ) the system wont boot it get stuck at the apple logo just before start loading the bar.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Your IOReg is corrupt. Refer to the post #1 for additional notes on Alpine Ridge.

Hey guys! running a Mac Pro 5.1 with Opencore here and Big Sur 11.2.3, I just bought a flashed GC Titan Ridge 2.0 and installed it on my Mac, I don't see Thunderbolt information under System Report>Thunderbolt. I only see "No Drivers are loaded" I tried with another flashed alpine ridge and same result, using the Slot # 4, I've seen I should see the Thunderbolt info even without Updating OpenCore and using a flashed card, any steps you can recomend to troubleshoot this? I have connected my UA Apollo on the Thunderbolt port and I get no connection, thanks!

No PR files attached. Note that you need to use Hotplug SSDT for full functionality.
