ACPI Patches¶

Download and install MaciASL if you do not have it already.
Dump your original ACPI tables. See Dortania/ ACPI Dump.
In Terminal, disassemble the copied ACPI tables with "iasl -dl DSDT.aml". For our purpose, the only file that really matters is DSDT.dsl

Your DSDT file will be used as a reference table in determining that needs to be patched and what patches need to be added.

Source SSDT*.dsl patch files are located in patches folder.
Refer to my EFI-OpenCore folder to see which patches are currently being used by me.
If your x1c6's model is 20KH*, most of my compiled hotpatches and can likely be copied straight to your setup. However, some patches may require certain directories or variables to be changed depending on your hardware (examine your own disassemebled DSDT). For these, edit the .dsl patch files. Also, note that some SSDT patches also require accompanying OpenCore/ Clover ACPI patches to work.

A good way to see if you need to edit and compile your own SSDT patches is to compare your DSDT.dsl with mine of the same BIOS version. You can find my disassemebled DSDT file in ACPI/Disassembled ACPI/BIOS-v*.

Should your source DSDT be similar enough (in regards to certain items in these ACPI patches)to mine. Congrats! You can simply try my compiled patches. Should it differ however, please carefully examine these notes and create your own SSDT patches.

Once you have the compiled ACPI patches, place them in EFI/OC/ACPI/ and make sure to create matching entries within OpenCore's config.plist's ACPI/Add/ section.

Note

The following patches are arranged alphabetically for easy cross-referencing. For the loading order, please refer to the main EFI's config.plist.

SSDT-AC¶

Load AppleACPIACAdapter

SSDT-ALS0¶

Fake Ambient Light Sensor Starting with Catalina, an ambient light sensor device is required for brightness preservation. This patch fakes an ambient light sensor device ALS0 since the x1c6 does not have one. Why?: ACPI0008 missing in DSDT.

SSDT-Battery¶

Enables Battery Status in macOS - Single battery system: only BAT0 in ACPI, no BAT1.

SSDT-DMAC¶

Patch Memory Controller - Why?: PNP0200 is missing in DSDT.

SSDT-Darwin¶

Detects macOS to enable other patches

SSDT-EC¶

Alow Reads/Write and Provide an Interface with Embedded Controller via YogaSMC - Two parts: - Allow access to EC - Sample SSDT from YogaSMC

SSDT-HWAC¶

Fix axxess to 16byte-EC-field HWAC

SSDT-INIT¶

Initialize System Variables - Disables: - HPET - DPTF - Enables: - DYTC

SSDT-Keyboard¶

Remap PS2 Keys, EC Keys are handled by BrightnessKeys.kext - Remap 1: PrtSc to F13 - Remap 2: Fn + K to Deadkey - Remap 3: Fn + P to Deadkey - For Fn 1-12 functions, check the following option within Preferences/Keyboard: Fn keys

SSDT-PM¶

Enables Native Intel Power Managements - Why?: Processor search in DSDT, rename PR to other variables as needed.
