Config

  • SMBIOS used - iMacPro1,1
  • agdpmod=pikera for AMD dGPU
  • PlatformInfo
    1. Copy _/scripts/platformInfo.dist file to _scripts/platformInfo and fullfill platformInfo parameters inside this file
    2. Then:
      1. To APPLY parameters to config.plist use command: sh _/scripts/run.sh --apply
      2. To REVERT parameters from config.plist use command: sh _/scripts/run.sh --revert
    3. You can also use OpenCore Configurator to generate & fill automatically OR use GenSMBIOS to generate only
    4. Remember to use correct SMBIOS Type when generating
    5. Scripts are included for faster cleaning unnecessary parameters on my end
