Vivobook-Pro 2-Opencore

macOS on the Ryzen 5800H Asus Vivobook Pro 2 thanks to Acidanthera's OpenCore bootloader.

Disclaimer

This repository is neither a howto nor an installation manual. Using these files requires at least basic knowledge of Acidanthera's OpenCore bootloader, ACPI, UEFI and the art of hackintoshing in general. I recommend reading the excellent Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide, as well as all its linked resources.

Recommendations

I recommend completely erasing the device's SSD by creating a new GPT partition table before attempting to install macOS, as it makes the installation process much easier. You may use any Linux live ISO with a partitioning tool such as GParted or KPartition to erase the SSD.

For macOS to be able to boot on this laptop, the Secure Boot option needs to be disabled in the BIOS. If you still have the stock windows install you might need to punch in your bitlocker key. instructions will be available in the screen that shows up

Please be aware that all PlatformInfo and SMBIOS information was removed from the OpenCore config.plist files. Users will therefore need to generate their own PlatformInfo with CorpNewt's GenSMBIOS tool before attempting to boot a Surface Go 2 with this repository's EFI folder.

from the [OpenIntelWireless repo](https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm) is required to enable the Wifi chip and was renamed toAirportItlwm-Sonoma.kext` for the same reason.

The kexts required to enable the trackpad and the touchscreen are special versions of VoodooI2C.kext and VoodooI2CHID.kext Modified with AMD support thanks to noot. Updating those kexts with the official ones from the VoodooI2C repo will most certainly break trackpad and touchscreen functionality! The `AirportItlwm.kext

Disabling sleep

As there is still no solution to the sleep issue on the Surface Go 2, it is recommended to disable Sleep altogether for now:

sudo pmset -a sleep 0
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo pmset -a disablesleep 1
