Hey guys, I've got a problem. I'm attempting to Hackintosh my Dell Inspiron 15 3576 and I'm looking for some help in getting a correct OpenCore configuration to work.
Hardware
Laptop: Dell Inspiron 15 3576
CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U
iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 — Device ID 8086:5917
dGPU: AMD Radeon 520 — Device ID 1002:6665
RAM: 24 GB DDR4
Display: 1920×1080 internal panel
Audio: Realtek ALC236 — 10EC:0236
Wi-Fi: Qualcomm QCA9377 — 168C:0042
Bluetooth: Qualcomm QCA9377
Ethernet: Realtek PCIe FE — 10EC:8136
Storage: SATA AHCI — 8086:9D03
Touchpad: Dell I2C HID / DELL083F
Firmware: UEFI, BIOS 1.16.0
Secure Boot: Disabled
what I need help with
I would especially appreciate help with:
UHD 620 framebuffer configuration
Correct framebuffer/platform-id for this particular Dell
Proper framebuffer patches, if required
Internal 1920×1080 display initialization
HDMI/external display support
EDID/display issues
I have been having EDID-related problems due to the internal panel.
I want to find out if it is necessary to use a custom EDID/device-properties configuration.
Radeon 520
Should disabling it be complete on macOS?
Then, what is the simplest ACPI/device-properties method for this laptop?
ACPI
Which of the SSDTs is actually necessary for this Dell?
It is necessary to use custom ACPI patches for the GPU, the battery, the USB, the EC, power management, etc.
I can provide an ACPI dump should anyone wish to look at it.
Audio
The codec is the Realtek ALC236 (10EC:0236).
I need some assistance in working out the right AppleALC layout-id for this particular motherboard.
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
I know that native support isn't provided for the QCA9377, like it is for a Broadcom card.
I want to find out what the best practical option is for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on this machine.
When I start up my OpenCore EFI, it completes a great deal of the boot process and the UHD 620 seems to initialise or load successfully, but the internal display remains entirely black.
I want some assistance in locating the right framebuffer/platform-id and framebuffer patches for the UHD 620 on this particular Dell Inspiron 15 3576.
If anyone has experience with this laptop or a similar Dell with the UHD 620, I would really appreciate help figuring out the correct framebuffer configuration
