Video glitch crash, occationally

If Memory XMP is enabled, try to slow down the memory frequency and reset NVRAM. It might still crash once or twice. In my case, it did not crash for a third time.

Wifi Network problem on Sonoma

Apple has dropped support for Broadcom Wi-Fi chipset drivers used in pre-2017 Macs.

If you want to make it works, follow this patch instruction

CPU with Processor Graphics

The current configuration is for a -F series CPU. If you have an Intel CPU with Processor graphic, add this in config.plist

DeivceProperties

• Deivce: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)
• Key: AAPL,ig-platform-id
• Value: 0300913E
• Type: Data

Most device addresses should be PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0), if not, use gfxutil to find it out.

gfxutil -f IGPU

Value	Comment
07009B3E	Used when the Desktop iGPU is used to drive a display

Disabled USB Ports

On 0.7.6+, two USB 2.0 ports at the rear of the motherboard are disabled so as to make the bluetooth works (you can customize your own USBPorts.kext). 4 external USB ports and 4 internal USB ports are still in use.

Cannot update to newer versions of Big Sur
