This OptiPlex doesn't dream in Excel spreadsheets anymore.

Important

This machine does NOT yet have a Wi-Fi / Bluetooth card. I plan on adding this in the future.


Problems

  • Sleep / Wake
    • Unfortunately, sleep is broken on this system at the moment. The system itself can go into and out of the sleep state, but the monitor never wakes up. My other OptiPlex hacc does this too. I'll investigate this!



  • External Audio and HDMI Output ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‎‏‏‎ ‎ 🎉 FIXED!
    • Unfortunately, external audio - both DisplayPort and HDMI - doesn't work. HDMI output is also broken, with the system failing to boot with only HDMI plugged in. Strangely, once booted, the system does half-work with HDMI, but is locked at low resolution.

    Tip

    This was fixed by using a combo of DeviceProperties entries from this excellent repo!

ACPI

SSDTs used:

  • SSDT-AWAC
  • SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP
  • SSDT-HPET *
  • SSDT-PLUG
  • SSDT-PMC

Important

SSDT-HPET was compiled by me specifically for this machine model. Along with several ACPI patches, this is used to fix onboard audio, including internal speakers. Without it, macOS will show as having no built-in audio devices.

DeviceProperties

The following tables display the added PCI devices and their child keys.

PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

AMD Radeon RX 550

Key Type Value
device-id Data FF67
model String AMD Radeon RX 550

📄 Show as property list data


Expand this if you want to copy and paste the entries above as .plist data!

You can paste this data straight into plist editors like ProperTree.

    <key>device-id</key>
    <data>/2c=</data>
    <key>model</key>
    <string>AMD Radeon RX 550</string>
</dict>

Important

The Dell OEM variant of the RX 550 uses the Lexa core. This does NOT officially have support in macOS... or does it? Simply masking it as the Baffin core version works perfectly! Just make sure to add the mask, as seen here.

Note

A new framebuffer, 07009B3E, is being used as it is better fitted for desktops.


Kernel

The following shows the kernel configuration.

Kexts

Kexts used:

  • Lilu
  • WhateverGreen
  • AppleALC
  • IntelMausi
  • RestrictEvents
  • RTCMemoryFixup
  • SMCProcessor
  • SMCSuperIO
  • SMCDellSensors
  • VirtualSMC
  • OptiPlex7060_SFF_USBMap *
  • USBMapDummy

Important

The OptiPlex7060_SFF_USBMap.kext is the USB map created manually by me on my own system. It may or may not work for other 7060 SFF machines. If it doesn't work, please disable it.

Tip

In case you need it for your own mapping, USBMapDummy.kext has been left included but disabled, so you can enable it if you need it.

SMBIOS

iMac19,2

This model of iMac has a direct hit on the CPU model used on this machine (i7-8700). As a result, it's the most appropriate SMBIOS. However, it may have to be changed soon if Apple drops support (or we pray to OCLP).

UEFI

Drivers in use:

  • HFSPlus
  • OpenRuntime
  • OpenCanopy
  • AudioDxe *

Note

AudioDxe is loaded so that OpenCore can make a boot chime on startup!

Post-Install Tweaks

This is just a collection of my post-install tweaks I apply after installing macOS. They're not really related to OpenCore or the overall functionality of the configuration.

Dark Menu Bar and Dock

Okay, so I'm a bit of a macOS boomer. Having used macOS since long before Mojave's dark mode, I'm accustomed to the regular light appearance of the windows - but I always enabled the "Dark menu bar and dock" option as I loved the look. While I still like dark mode (and use it on iOS), the hybrid light/dark mode on macOS is still my favourite!

The following commands restore that functionality:

Window Server

defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes

Notification Centre

defaults write com.apple.notificationcenterui NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool No

Control Centre

defaults write com.apple.controlcenterui NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool No

About This Mac + System Profiler

defaults write com.apple.SystemProfiler.AboutExtension NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool No
defaults write com.apple.SystemProfiler.AboutExtension NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool No

Show Hidden Files

Does what it says on the tin. Shows all files, including hidden ones, in the Finder.

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
killall Finder

Show GPU Tab in Activity Monitor

Unhides the hidden sECrET GPU tab in macOS' Activity Monitor, helpful for seeing which apps are running on what GPU!

defaults write com.apple.ActivityMonitor ShowGPUTab -bool true

AirDrop over Ethernet

Makes AirDrop scan Ethernet too!

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1
killall Finder

Frosted Glass Terminal Theme

Some macOS eye candy.

curl -OL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Coopydood/OpenCore-Z490E-CometLake/main/EXTRAS/HyperTerm.terminal

Import through Terminal's preferences.

Disclaimer

This repo is simply a dump of my current and up-to-date OpenCore stuff that I use on my machine.

Feel free to use it as an example and modify it however you'd like, but please don't expect it to "just work" - because it probably won't.

Contribute!

If you've found a way to make the configuration better, or have solved issues outlined in the Problems section, please share your changes on GitHub for us all to use! Thank you!
