OS X on Asus UX32VD

This is a working set of kexts and configurations for running OS X on an ASUS UX32VD laptop.

The purpose of this repo is to help improving an already booting system, not to help installing it: I have OS X since a long time, so I don't remember the problems I faced during installation. Here's a good all-in-one guide and here's a specialized forum. Anyway, I have included some of the kexts I used for the installation at Kexts for installation/.

WARNING: I'm not using the Zenbook anymore, so this is potentially outdated. However, it's probably still good as a starting point.

System

You can find detailed hardware information gathered from Ubuntu at System Hardware/.

• UEFI firmware version: 214
• CPU: Intel Core i5-3317U
• GPU: Intel HD4000 + Nvidia GeForce GT 620M
• Audio: ALC269VB
• Wifi: Dell Wireless 1520 (chipset: Broadcom BCM4322 (BCM94322HM8L))
  • The stock wireless card doesn't work with OS X. I have replaced it with this one. Because of this, bluetooth is missing. If you need it, use AzureWave AW-CE123H as WiFi card instead (chipset: Broadcom 20702A3 (BCM20702A0) (IDs: 0x3404, 0x13d3)).

What's inside this repo

• A working DSDT + SSDT: EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/.
• Instructions on how the DSDT has been made, in case you want to patch your own: src/DSDT/. The SSDT has been generated by ssdtPRgen v16.5: ./ssdtPRGen.sh -x 1 -lfm 900.
