<p>The purpose of SSDT-EC/UBX is a couple things:</p> <ul><li>On desktops, the EC(or better known as the embedded controller) isn't compatible with AppleACPIEC driver, to get around this we disable this device when running macOS</li> <li>AppleBusPowerController will look for a device named <code>EC</code>, so we will want to create a fake device for this kext to load onto
<ul><li>AppleBusPowerController also requires a USBX device to supply USB power properties for Skylake and newer, so we will bundle this device in with the EC fix</li></ul></li> <li>On laptops, the EC is used for hotkeys and battery so disabling this isn't all too ideal. Problem is our EC's name isn't compatible, so we will create a simple &quot;fake&quot; EC device that will satisfy Apple</li></ul> <p>So TL;DR:</p> <ul><li>EC is embedded controller</li> <li>Desktops will want real EC off, and a fake EC created</li> <li>Laptops will just want an additional fake EC present</li> <li>Skylake and newer devices will want USBX as well</li></ul> <h2 id="methods-to-make-this-ssdt"><a href="#methods-to-make-this-ssdt" class="header-anchor">#</a> Methods to make this SSDT</h2> <p>For the EC fix, there are 3 methods you can choose from:</p> <ul><li><a href="/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Universal/ec-methods/prebuilt.html">Prebuilt</a> <ul><li>The prebuilt for desktops are very bloated. It's recommended to use the two methods below.</li> <li>The Laptop prebuilts are easily usable.</li></ul></li> <li><a href="/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Universal/ec-methods/ssdttime.html">SSDTTime</a> <ul><li>Note this method does not support <strong>laptops</strong>, <strong>servers</strong> or <strong>HEDT systems</strong></li></ul></li> <li><a href="/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Universal/ec-methods/manual.html">Manual</a></li></ul></div> <footer class="page-edit"><!----> <div class="last-updated"><span class="prefix">Last Updated:</span> <span class="time">6/18/2020, 3:32:02 PM</span></div></footer> <div class="page-nav"><p class="inner"><span class="prev">
