## Checking GPI0
|
|
|
|
The first thing which should be checked is the GPI0 device, which is required for VoodooI2C. The best way to check this is working is to use IORegistryViewer.
|
|
|
|
![]()
|
|
|
|
Here, we can see that VoodooI2C is attached to GPI0 so no edits are needed for GPI0 and you can skip to the next section.
|
|
|
|
If VoodooI2C isn't attached, then you may need to set `GPEN` or other variable to make sure GPI0 is enabled. In that case, you will need to find the GPI0 device in ACPI.
|
|
|
|
First open your decompiled DSDT you got from [Dumping the DSDT](/Manual/dump.md) and [Decompiling and Compiling](/Manual/compile.md) with either maciASL(if in macOS) or any other text editor if in Windows or Linux(VSCode has an [ACPI extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Thog.vscode-asl) that can also help).
|
|
|
|
Next search for `Device (GPI0)`. Should give you a result similar to this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We can see that `_STA` method, which enables or disable the GPI0 device:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
|
|
{
|
|
If ((SBRG == Zero))
|
|
{
|
|
Return (Zero)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
If ((GPEN == Zero))
|
|
{
|
|
Return (Zero)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Return (0x0F)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
We want the value of _STA to be 0x0F, as 0x00 (Zero) would disable the device. This checks two values, `SBRG` and `GPEN`. If either `SBRG` or `GPEN` is equal to zero, then zero will be returned. Generally, `SBRG` should not be modified as it will be correct already, and modifying it can break the `GPI0` device. If `GPI0` needs to be enabled, only modify the `GPEN` value.
|
|
|
|
Here's some more examples:
|
|
|
|
|
|
What we care about from this is the `_STA` method:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
|
|
{
|
|
If ((GPHD == One))
|
|
{
|
|
Return (0x03)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Return (0x0F)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
What we want is for this to always return `0x0F` when booting macOS, so we want to make an SSDT that will return `GPHD == Zero` in macOS.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE that you may have the other way around where GPHD needs to be set as `One` to return `0x0F`**. And your device name may also be different, don't throw random SSDTs in thinking it'll work
|
|
|
|
## Edits to the sample SSDT
|
|
|
|
Now that we have our ACPI path, lets grab our SSDT and get to work:
|
|
|
|
* [SSDT-GPI0.dsl](https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/extra-files/decompiled/SSDT-GPI0.dsl)
|
|
|
|
From the first example, we'll want to set GPEN to `One` to allow it to operate in macOS:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
|
|
{
|
|
GPEN = One <- Proper variables
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will want to test the SSDT at this point by [compiling the SSDT!](/Manual/compile.md) and adding it to your config.plist. VoodooI2C should now be attached to the GPI0 device as shown at the top of the GPI0 section.

## Wrapping up

|
|
|
Once you're done making your SSDT, either head to the next page to finish the rest of the SSDTs or head here if you're ready to wrap up:
