Dell Latitude E7480 Hackintosh (OpenCore)

Introduce

Tip: I have bought a MacBookPro, so I can not maintain this repo manully any more. Therefore, I wrote a scrip to update this repo actomatically. If you encount error when using it, please open an issue, I will try my best to fix it. Thanks for your support.

English (Current)

To Do

• Automatically update OpenCorePkg and Kexts by a script
• Automatically generate update info and update ReadMe
• Automatically update repo weekly by CI

Note

1. For macOS 12 Monterey, DW1820 do not work well (can not use Airdrop, Handoff and Sidercar). Therefore I change it to BCM94360Z4 and it works well!
2. Monterey 12.3 and iPad OS 15.4 start to support Universal Control (also need BoardCom wireless card), works for me.
3. Strongly recommand you to re-create USBMap.kext for your own laptop with this tool.
4. If you change your hardware (like wireless), re-create the USBMap.kext as well.
5. It is strong recommanded that re-generate a serial number for your own laptop (needed to be check invaluable in apple.com) !
6. Do not turn on Find my mac!

1. Open config.plist and delete framebuffer-fbmem and framebuffer-stolenmem in DeviceProperties, PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)

2. Restart and at the opencore boot GUI, choose the modGRUBShell.efi

3. For set DVMT PRE Allocated to 64 MB

setup_var 0x795 0x2

4. For set DVMT Total GFX Mem to MAX

setup_var 0x796 0x3

For Intel Wireless and Bluetooth

Now, I add a config for Intel wireless card kexts. The method to use it is as below

• Delete the existing config.plist
• Change config-intel-wireless-card.plist into config.plist

ComboJack Installation

Hackintosh combojack support for alc256/alc255 from https://github.com/hackintosh-stuff/ComboJack
