Fixing Embedded Controllers: SSDTTime

The second involves using SSDTTime which automates most of the process. See here on how to use it: SSDTs: Easy Way

To get the SSDT-PLUG, run the following:

• 4. Dump DSDT then run 2. FakeEC

This will provide you with some files, the main one you care about is SSDT-EC**.aml**. The DSDT and .dsl are only left for referencing or verification.

The main things to note with this method:

• Doesn't work on HEDT and server hardware(ie. X99 and X299)
  • While the majority following this guide are likely on consumer hardware, those with fancier hardware will need to either use the Prebuilt or Manual method
• Doesn't work on Laptops
  • Just like with HEDT, you will need to either use the Prebuilt or Manual method
• Doesn't provide you the USBX property to fix power
  • This can easily be fixed by using this prebuilt file in addition to SSDT-EC: SSDT-USBX.aml
  • Note USBX is only needed for Skylake and newer
• Doesn't really teach you anything
  • For most, this doesn't matter. But to some knowing what makes your hackintosh tick is part of the journey

Wrapping up
