VirtualSMC

Advanced Apple SMC emulator in the kernel. Requires Lilu for full functioning.

English (Current)
简体中文

Supports macOS 10.4 and newer (10.9 and newer is recommended)
Implements MMIO protocol and interrupt-based responses for compatibility with modern OS
Properly reports key attributes and r/w protection in the keys
Allows tuning on per-model basis and allows to use different SMC generations
Extensible by the plugins for sensor and key addition support
Enables smcdebug=XX boot argument support on 10.9
Replaces hardware SMC it finds (to disable SMC entirely you need to flash a dedicated firmware)

Add -vsmcdbg to enable debug printing (available in DEBUG binaries).
Add -vsmcoff to switch off all the Lilu enhancements.
Add -vsmcbeta to enable Lilu enhancements on unsupported OS (12 and below are enabled by default).
Add -vsmcrpt to report about missing SMC keys to the system log.
Add -vsmccomp to prefer existing hardware SMC implementation if found.
Add vsmcgen=X to force exposing X-gen SMC device (1 and 2 are supported).
Add vsmchbkp=X to set HBKP dumping mode (0 - off, 1 - normal, 2 - without encryption).
Add vsmcslvl=X to set value serialisation level (0 - off, 1 - normal, 2 - with sensitive data (default)).
Add smcdebug=0xff to enable AppleSMC debug information printing.
Add watchdog=0 to disable WatchDog timer (if you get accidental reboots).
