Please tell me how did you downgrade your bios from F9 to F6, F9i? Used the fptw64.exe intel tool.

Instructions and tool I used for my board: FPTW64.zip

Try enabling apple VTD (which also means you need to activate intel virtualization in BIOS).

Hi, with Vt-d I can finally use thunderbolt devices! But both Ethernet controllers does not work without DMAR

HI, could you please tell me what bios version you are using. Thanks.

tinnakis avatar Jan 08 '23 19:01 tinnakis

Sure, I’m using F9i

@matteofreddi I just started playing around with the EFI to include Thunderbolt. Looks like you have it figured out? Was there anything in addition to the Vt-d changes to enable it?

If more was needed can you share your EFI folder (remove serial numbers), so I can compare?

Thanks for your help. Haven't had any Thunderbolt devices to test things on until now.

Latest version of EFI support Thunderbolt. Let me know if I need to change any settings as I only had one Thunderbolt devices to test with. Thanks.
