Config

• SMBIOS used - iMacPro1,1
• agdpmod=pikera for AMD dGPU
• PlatformInfo
  1. Copy _/scripts/platformInfo.dist file to _scripts/platformInfo and fullfill platformInfo parameters inside this file
  2. Then:
     1. To APPLY parameters to config.plist use command: sh _/scripts/run.sh --apply
     2. To REVERT parameters from config.plist use command: sh _/scripts/run.sh --revert
  3. You can also use OpenCore Configurator to generate & fill automatically OR use GenSMBIOS to generate only
  4. Remember to use correct SMBIOS Type when generating
  5. Scripts are included for faster cleaning unnecessary parameters on my end
