OS X on DELL Inspiron15-5547

This project targets at giving the relatively complete functional OS X for DELL Inspiron15-5547. Before you start, there's a brief introduction of how to finish powering up OS X on your laptop:

  1. Create a vanilla installation disk(removable disk).
  2. Install Clover with UEFI only and UEFI64Drivers to the installation disk just created.
  3. Replace the origin Clover folder with the one under github.com/syscl/Inspiron15-5547

NOTE: Once you modify your settings in BIOS (especially Graphics Configuration in SA), you have to remove previous ACPI tables first, redump ACPI tables by press Fn+F4/F4 under Clover, and run deploy.sh again to patch your ACPI tables again.

  1. Install OS X.
  2. Once you finish installation of OS X, you can do the following steps to finish the post installation of OS X.

How to use SSDT-HDMI-HD4400.dsl under github.com/syscl/Inspiron15-5547/ACPI ?

Download the latest version installation package/directory by entering the following command in a terminal window:

git clone https://github.com/syscl/Inspiron15-5547

This will download the whole installation directory to your current directory(./) and the next step is to change the permissions of the file (add +x) so that it can be run.

cd Inspiron15-5547/tools
chmod +x *

Compile the SSDT-HDMI-HD4400.dsl so that it can be loaded by Clover.

./iasl -vr -w1 -ve -p ~/Inspiron15-5547/ACPI/SSDT-HDMI-HD4400.aml ~/Inspiron15-5547/ACPI/SSDT-HDMI-HD4400.dsl

Place ~/Inspiron15-5547/ACPI/SSDT-HDMI-HD4400.aml to CLOVER/ACPI/patched.

Replace CLOVER with your new one, and reboot to see change.
