E6440: Big Sur and OpenCore

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I've create a USB installer as per Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide, but I'm unable to boot into the installer. The last line of the OpenCore log reads

 

30:552 00:027 AAPL: #[EB|LOG:EXITBS:START] 2020-11-24T08:38:41

 

According to the troubleshooting section, this issue might be caused by CFG Lock, which I did set to 0. I've tried the EFI folder from the post E6440 Big Sur just out of curiosity, and the loading process went passed the stage I'm stuck at. However, the EFI folder from the linked post contains a patched DSDT.aml and doesn't align with the OpenCore guide. Hence, I would prefer to have a clean EFI folder.

 

I have attached my EFI folder which I'm having issues with to boot the installer. Product information properties in config.plist were removed for obvious reasons.

 

Thank you in advance.

Update: I was able to boot the installer after    replacing all SSDTs in the ACPI folder with the once I currently use with clover, and adding the corresponding patches to the config file. 
In the next step, I removed the EHCI-01/-02  SSDTs/patches as well as the EC patch and added the SSDT-EHCx_off.aml. This aligns more with the OpenCore guide and the booting process went past my initial issue. However, I think I’ll need the EHCx SSDTs and patches to get the build in camera and Bluetooth working. I’ll complete the installation over the weekend and post my EFI that aligns as close as possible to the OpenCore guide.
