OpenCore EFI for Gygabite

Contents

EFI - DEBUG - Debug version of OC and all Kexts, all logging enabled / Slower
boot + verbose boot.
EFI - RELEASE - Release version of OC and all Kexts, all logging disabled /
Faster boot + no verbose.

Choose config.plist

Both debug and release folders contains two config.plist versions. Depending on
your setup you'll want to choose one of:

  1. Use the iGPU for video output:
    Go to EFI > OC > rename config-igpu.plist to config.plist.

  2. use the Radeon VII for video output and use iGPU in headless mode:
    Go to EFI > OC > rename config-headless.plist to config.plist.

Notes

  • BIOS configured as per
    guide.
  • You'll need to replace any occurrence of [CHANGE_ME] in OC/config.plist
    using your own PlatformInfo,
    see guide.
  • Tested on Mojave, Monterey, Ventura. Works over full upgrades Mojave >
    Monterey > Ventura or Mojave > Ventura.
  • To migrate from Clover to OpenCore it might be enough to replace your existing
    Clover EFI for this, just make sure to:
