ASRock Z790M-ITX WiFi EFI

EFI for the ASRock Z790M-ITX WiFi with OpenCore 0.9.8.

  • BIOS Version: 9.01
  • macOS Version: Sonoma 14.4
  • Processor: i7-14700K

Notes

  • For Sonoma 14.3.1 and below, checkout the 14.3.1 tag.
  • Initial Sonoma version was 14.1.2. Updated to 14.2.1 and 14.3. Had to disable BlueToolFixup.kext and then re-enable afterwards for both incremental updates. Incremental update from 14.3 to 14.3.1 did not require disabling BlueToolFixup.kext.
  • Add -v to boot args for verbose boot.
  • Remember to run GenSMBIOS on the config.plist file.
  • Better numbers on Geekbench 6 with iMacPro1,1 compared to MacPro7,1.

Current Status

  • Boots.
  • Audio works.
  • Bluetooth works.
  • Wi-Fi works.
  • Ethernet works.

USB Port Mapping

Ports mapped using Hackintool. The system case is a Lian Li Dan A4-H2O case with a front panel having only 1 USB-C port and 1 USB A port, so all ports are functional. 16 ports are listed below, but I disabled the LED Controller port since I have no LEDs connected. The descriptions in the table are only for some important observations made when mapping. All other ports are on the motherboard, unless otherwise specified.

Port Description
HS01 Front panel USB-C with a USB2 device connected
HS03 Front panel USB-A with a USB2 device connected
HS04 Motherboard USB 2 port (black)
HS05
HS06 Motherboard USB-C port with a USB2 device connected
HS07 Should be a USB 3 port on the motherboard? However, only got USB2 speeds with a USB3 flash drive connected.
HS09
HS10
HS13 LED Controller. Disabled.
HS14 IOUSBHostDevice (Bluetooth)
SS01 Motherboard USB-C port with a USB3 device connected
SS03
SS04
SS05
SS06 Front panel USB-C with a USB3 device connected
SS08 Front panel USB-A with a USB3 device connected
