## Fixing SSDTTime: `Could not locate or download iasl!`
|
|
|
|
This is usually due to an outdated version of Python, try either updating Python or add iasl to the scripts folder for SSDTTime:
|
|
|
|
* [iasl macOS version](https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/acpica/downloads/iasl.zip)
|
|
* [iasl Windows version](https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/iasl-win-20180105.zip)
|
|
* [iasl Linux version](http://amdosx.kellynet.nl/iasl.zip)
|
|
|
|
## Can't run `acpidump.efi` from OpenCore
|
|
|
|
Grab [OpenShell](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases) and add it to EFI/OC/Tools and config.plist -> Misc -> Tools.
|
|
|
|
Next, call upon OpenCore shell and enter the following:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
shell> fs0: //replace with proper drive
|
|
|
|
fs0:\> dir //to verify this is the right directory
|
|
|
|
Directory of fs0:\
|
|
|
|
01/01/01 3:30p EFI
|
|
|
|
fs0:\> cd EFI\OC\Tools //note that its with forward slashes
|
|
|
|
fs0:\EFI\OC\Tools> acpidump.efi -b -n DSDT -z
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## iASL warning, # unresolved
|
|
|
|
If you try to decompile your DSDT and get an error similar to this:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
iASL Warning: There were 19 external control methods found during disassembly, but only 0 were resolved (19 unresolved)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This happens when one ACPI table requires the rest for proper referencing, it does not accept the creation of DSDTs as we're only using it for creating a select few SSDTs. For those who are worried, you can run the following:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
iasl * [insert all ACPI files here]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Decompiling Error
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Loading Acpi table from file iASLAwjHrs.aml
|
|
Acpi table [DSDT] successfully installed and loaded
|
|
Pass 1 parse of [DSDT]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is a common error on DSDTs that have methods that aren't supported by maciASL, the easiest way is to delete maciASL and make sure you grab it from Acidanthera's repo: [maciASL](https://github.com/acidanthera/MaciASL/releases)
|
|
|
|
## Invalid character (0x3D), expecting ASL keyword or name
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similar to the above error, you're running an outdated copy of maciASL. Make sure you're using the latest from Acidanthera's repo: [maciASL](https://github.com/acidanthera/MaciASL/releases)
|
|
|
|
## Syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_ONE, expecting '('
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similar to the above 2 errors, you're running an outdated copy of maciASL. Make sure you're using the latest from Acidanthera's repo: [maciASL](https://github.com/acidanthera/MaciASL/releases) |
