This repository contains a sample configuration to run macOS (Currently High Sierra 10.13.4) on a Dell XPS 9360
This repository has been tested against Dell XP 9360 bios version 2.6.2. For best results ensure this is the bios version of the target machine.
In order to run macOS successfully a number of EFI BIOS variables need to be modified. The included Clover bootloader contains an updated Shell64U.efi, which includes a setup_var command to help do just that.
The following variables need to be updated:
| Variable | Offset | Default value | Desired value | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CFG Lock | 0x4de | 0x01 (Enabled) | 0x00 (Disabled) | Disable CFG Lock to prevent MSR 0x02 errors on boot |
| DVMT Pre-allocation | 0x785 | 0x01 (32M) | 0x06 (192M) | Increase DVMT pre-allocated size to 192M for QHD+ displays |
| DVMT Total Gfx Memory | 0x786 | 0x01 (128M) | 0x03 (MAX) | Increase total gfx memory limit to maximum |
All Clover hotpatches are included in DSL format in DSDT. If required the script --compile-dsdt option can be used to compile any changes to the DSL files into ./CLOVER/ACPI/patched.
In order to support the Realtek ALC256 (ALC3246) codec of the Dell XPS 9360, AppleALC is included with layout-id 56.
Alternatively, a custom HDA injector can be used.
The script option --patch-hda option generates an AppleHDA_ALC256.kext injector and installs it in /Library/Extensions for this purpose.
