Generating a Coffee Lake SSDT on a Hackintosh

This is how to generate a Coffee Lake SSDT or any SSDT using the beta version of ssdtPRGen.  

Dealing with ssdt-beta

• Download ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake.zip

Now we need to:

1. Unzip ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake.zip
2. Rename the the unzipped folder ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake to ssdtPRGen
3. Move the renamed folder to ~/Library/
4. This can be done in Terminal with these lines:

   unzip -qu ~/Downloads/ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake.zip -d ~/Library/
   
   mv ~/Library/ssdtPRGen.sh-coffee_lake ~/Library/ssdtPRGen
   

   

Coffee Lake Hackintosh SSDT Generation

Now that it’s properly named you can return to the normal SSDT guide and complete it:

1. Open Terminal
2. Type & Enter cd ~/Library/ssdtPRGen into Terminal
3. Put the first line into terminal if you are using a stock CPU and replace cpu_name placeholder with yours. If the CPU is overclocked in BIOS add the -turbo flag and its overclocked amount in MHz to to the end:
   • Stock speeds: sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p ‘cpu_name’ 
   • BIOS Overclocked: sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p ‘cpu_name’ -turbo XXXX 
   • Examples:

     sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p 'i3-8100' (An i3-8100 @ stock speeds)
     sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p 'i7-8700k' (An i7-8700k @ stock speeds) 
     sudo sh ssdtPRGen.sh -p 'i7-8700k' -turbo 4800 (An i7-8700k @ 4.8GHz overclock)

     

4. Type & Enter n to the question: Do you want to open ssdt.dsl (y/n)?
5. Right-Click Finder App  
6. Select Go to Folder…
7. Type ~/Library/ssdtPRGen/
8. Click Go
9. Open ssdtPRGen folder
10. Copy ssdt.aml
11. Mount EFI Partition using Clover Configurator
12. Paste ssdt.aml in /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/
13. Open config.plist with Clover Configurator while still in your EFI partition
14. Select Apci on the left column
15. Under Generate Options:
    1. Uncheck Generate PStates
    2. Uncheck Generate CStates
