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

Update OpenCore to the latest version

1. Download the latest OpenCore

   /X64/EFI/OC

   • ACPI
     • Copy SSDT files from the prvious version
   • Drivers
     • Keep same files as the previous version
   • Kexts (update the following files to the latest version)
     • IntelMausi.kext
     • Lilu.kext
     • VirtualSMC.kext, SMCProcessor.kext, SMCSupperIO.kext
     • WhateverGreen.kext
     • RealtekRTL8111.kext
     • AppleALC.kext
     • NVMeFix.kext
     • Copy USBPorts.kext from the previous version

2. Download the latest OpenCore Configurator

   Open Docs/Sample.plist and config.plist in OpenCore Configurator, set the same configurations in Sample.plist as config.plist

3. Replace the old EFI folder with the new one

   For safety, the new configuration should be tested on a bootable USB first
