| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Ethernet | Works |
| Audio | Works |
| iMessage, FaceTime, App Store | Work (after generating your own serial, see below) |
| USB ports | Work |
| Dual boot with Windows | Works (install macOS on a separate drive) |
| Wi-Fi | Not working on this build |
| Bluetooth | Not working on this build |
| Sleep, iGPU, DRM, sidecar | Not tested |
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth were never enabled on this hardware. If you add a compatible card, you will need the matching kexts in the Kexts folder of your EFI.
- Generate your own serial number and SMBIOS values. Do not reuse anyone else's serial: Apple can block the Apple ID tied to it.
- Edit
config.plistwith ProperTree and fill in your generated values. - Match the BIOS settings in the screenshots below before booting.

- EFI files for the USB drive: https://gitamin-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/121810314010_gitam_in/EqaosVFr6-BGnWsZubQKjvkBKAosna_GE-1vSbuXFVJW-A?e=YqYg1V
- Download the EFI files from the link above.
- Format a USB drive and copy the files to it.
- Set the BIOS options to match the screenshots in the next section.
- Boot from the USB drive and choose the macOS installer.
- Install macOS on an SSD if you have one; it runs noticeably smoother than on a hard drive.
- After install, copy the EFI from the USB drive to the EFI partition of your macOS drive so you can boot without the USB.
For dual boot, keep Windows and macOS on separate drives, then pick OpenCore in the boot menu.
BIOS configuration matters on this board. These are the settings used on this build:
Boot screenshot:
- Always replace the serial number, MLB, and UUID with your own generated values before signing in to any Apple service.
- Keep a copy of the working config.plist before editing; most boot problems on this setup come from plist edits.
- If you change hardware (especially the GPU or a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card), expect to adjust kexts and device properties.
