The basic of OC folder before copying/downloading kext files
- modGRUBShell.efi https://github.com/datasone/grub-mod-setup_var/releases\ This is a tool to disable CFG-Lock on Z390 Pro Wifi mainboard
Tools to build:
- ProperTree https://github.com/corpnewt/ProperTree
- GenSMBIOS https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS Use the config.plist from this repo or
Follow this document from OpenCore if you are using different devices https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/#creating-your-config-plist
ProperTree.command
Cmd/Ctrl + O
selecting the config.plist file on your USB
Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R
point it at your EFI/OC folder to perform a "Clean Snapshot"\
(This will remove all the entries from the config.plist and then adds all your SSDTs, Kexts and Firmware drivers to the config)Cmd/Ctrl + R is another option that will add all your files as well but will leave entries disabled if they were set like that before, useful for when you're troubleshooting but for us not needed right now
The Intel Core i7 9700 processor is based on the Coffee Lake microarchitecture https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/coffee-lake.html
