HP Elite X2 1012 G1 Hackintosh

Note: This is not a guide, merely an aid as to what this model requires. For a full guide, see here: OpenCore Laptop Guide

Hardware Specs:

MODEL    HP Elite X2 1012 G1
CPU:     Intel M7 6Y75
RAM:     8GB 1866MHz LPDDR3
GPU:     HD 515
AUDIO:   Conexant CX20724
Touch:   Wacom HID Based Display(WCOM4814)
WIFI:    Fenvi BCM94360NG

What's working

• macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina 10.15.5
• USB/C Hot-plug
• USB-C DP/HDMI Output
• Mic, speakers and headphones
• CPU Power Management
• Trackpad gestures
• HiDPI
• Bluetooth and Wifi
  • Card was swapped to BCM94360NG for better support
  • Intel 8260 can use the following:
    • itlwm
    • IntelBluetoothFirmware(Note sleep breaks with this)
• Touchscreen and pen
  • Using the Wacom Bamboo Ink Pen, all Wacom AES based pens should work with the HP Elite X2 G1 and G2
• Battery readouts
  • Includes cycle count
• Front webcam

What's not working

• Battery temperature
  • This would require either sending a PR or creating a new plugin to read _BIF readouts including those not in the ACPI spec
• VoodooI2C working intermediately
  • Related to ACPI power states
  • Reboots between OSes fixes this
• GPU Based DRM
  • No iGPU has working DRM
  • Chrome plays Netflix just fine
• Micro SD card reader
  • The G1's Intel based so no drivers, unsure what the G2 runs
• Rear webcam
  • Rear camera's I2C based
  • Also why are you taking photos with a 12" tablet
• Fingerprint reader
  • My model didn't ship with one, but in general they won't work

Untested

• Thunderbolt
  • Personally don't own any Thunderbolt devices so can't test
  • Cold booting the device with ThunderboltReset and ThunderboltPkg should work
• Hibernation
  • Requires RTC blacklisting, currently on TO-DO List
• Pen pressure and tilt in macOS Sierra and newer
  • See here for potential fix: VoodooI2CTouchscreenIOManager
• Smartcard reader
  • Don't own or work with smartcards
• WWAN Card
  • Personally don't own any WWAN hardware so can't test
• Accelerometer and Gyro
• Light Sensor

BIOS Settings

For the most part it's pretty stock, main guys you need to change:

Built-In Device Options:

• Video memory size = 64MB
  • Our framebuffer in macOS requires 34MB minimum, otherwise it'll crash

Power Management Options:

• Wake on USB = False
  • Will get random XHC spams with this enabled

ACPI

For those curious, I've also provided an ACPI dump of my laptop(BIOS ver. 1.48 Rev.A):

• Firmware Dumps
• Custom SSDTs

Required SSDTs:

SSDT	ACPI Patches	Comments
SSDT-BAT	A lot	Fixes Battery Readouts
SSDT-EC-USBX	N/A	Creates a fake EC and adds USB Power Properties
SSDT-GPRW	GPRW to XPRW	Fix random XDCI spams
SSDT-HP-FixLidSleep	N/A	Fixes e005 keyboard spam
SSDT-PLUG	N/A	Adds plugin-type to \_PR.CPU0, allows XCPM to load
SSDT-PNLF	N/A	Adds Backlight control support
SSDT-PTS	_PTS to XPTS	Reroutes USB Shutdown calls
SSDT-SBUS-MCHC	N/A	Allows AppleSMBus and co to load
SSDT-SLPB	N/A	Fixes Sleep button support
SSDT-TBHP	_RMV to XRMV	Fixes USB-C Hot-plug
SSDT-TPL0	PS0/PS3 to XPS0/XPS3	Attempts to fix I2C touchscreen *

• Need to look into proper _PS0/_PS3 fixes for I2C

For a full list of ACPI patches, see here: patches.plist

Removing XOSI Renames:

Thanks to DhinakG, XOSI renames are no longer needed. Instead only needing the following patch:

Comment | String |  Enable Touchscreen in macOS
Find    |  Data  |  95 4F 53 59 53 0B DC 07
Replace |  Data  |  95 4F 53 59 53 0B 00 00

Kexts

Hardware specific kexts:

• VoodooI2C
• VoodooI2CHID
• AlpsT4USB
  • A prebuilt for the latest(7faceb9) can be found here: AlpsT4USB.kext

Configuration Specifics

DeviceProperties:

• PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F,0x3)
  • layout-id | Data | 03000000
• PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)
  • APPL,ig-platform-id | Data | 00001E19
    • Apple uses 03001E19 on lower end MacBooks(M3)
    • M7 failed to boot with this so try either and see which works best for you

Kernel:

• Quirks:
  • AppleCpuPmCfgLock set to True

• Generic -> SystemProductName:
  • MacBook9,1

Miscellaneous Faixes

Battery Status

Grab CoconutBattery, and set the format:

%ww %r

The above will show both wattage and time remaining

HiDPI

TO-DO

High Priority:

• I2C Screen sometimes gets into bad state even with XPS0/XPS3 reroutes
  • Need to look into implementing proper power states
  • Reboots between Mojave and Catalina fix the issue, not really a fix but works for now
• Using RTC ACPI Patch, need to find correct offset to block with RTCMemoryFixup
  • As of BIOS ver.01.45, the main region is DF-E0
  • Wake from deep sleep will cause a restart with RTC error, likely multiple regions need to be fixed
• Fix 3 key modifier(ie. Cmd + Shift + 4 won't register)
  • DEBUG version of VoodooPS2 breaks it

Low Priority:

• Look into temperature monitoring in SSDT-BAT
  • Neither _BIF nor _BIX support battery temperature, and so VirtualSMC has no standard way of reading battery temps.
  • Add vSMC plugin for battery temperature
• Add info on XOSI alternative
• Install El Capitan 10.11 and test pen pressure
