There are no more cards under NDA available.”
#THUNDERBOLT FOR MAC HOW TO#
There will be a How To Guide but still there will be people who will have questions and we cannot just take care of everything. Neither my team nor I can run it permanently. We can’t keep giving support, we all have wives, kids, work. If you have twenty people to support, that’s a lot of work, but what if you have 30 or 40 people or even more? Need because the MacPro 5.1 was never designed for Thunderbolt.
#THUNDERBOLT FOR MAC INSTALL#
So that this disaster can be avoided, we make use of OpenCore.Ī) because it fixes the problem regarding EFIī) improves our system in the long run and allows to install newer versions without any additional patchesĬ) also allows us to inject SSDTs into the system, which is what we need in terms of Thunderbolt hotplug. On the old Apple computers the EFI was a pure disaster. It’s not just installing a card and everything runs without you having to do anything. “Well, not everyone can have the same level of technical knowledge. Create Pro asked for DSM2 for comment about his cards…
It turns out that DSM2 wasn’t prepared to lose his intellectual property by just selling modified Titan Ridge card, he would only sell them if you signed an NDA agreeing not to share the firmware he had developed to make this work. There is also a thread on the Mac Rumours forum, which is in English.
#THUNDERBOLT FOR MAC DRIVERS#
You may recall we posted an article back in March 2019 entitled Mac Pro 5,1 Cheese-grater With Thunderbolt - The Impossible Is Now Possible in which we showed, with the help of Create Pro that it was possible to use a Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge Thunderbolt Card with the caveat that you had to boot the Mac Pro into Windows 10 to load the Windows drivers before rebooting in the macOS to continue working.Ĭreate Pro then discovered a conversation on a German Hackintosh forum discussing a custom firmware one member, DSM2, had created allowing for native compatibility for the Titan Ridge card in macOS.
#THUNDERBOLT FOR MAC UPDATE#
It is turning out to be a challenge to implement, but we continue to update this article as new information becomes available.
Also, ever other day or so, I find that one displays starts jumping around to the point of being unusable and I have to unplug the dock and then plug back in to reset.Back in late February 2020, we heard that there a solution has been found, which enables MacPro Cheese-grater owners to install a Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 card into a Mac Pro 5,1 and to be able to use Thunderbolt 3 in macOS. Even here, I have daily, sometimes twice or three times a day where the two external screens go dark for a couple of seconds then come back where they left off - like the dock rebooted. I continue to use the docks because they do allow the two external monitors to work as needed - without DisplayLink. The problem can easily be found in the forum. Technical support is what you would expect from a offshore call center. Does not work even if using a powered USB hub between the peripheral and dock. USB2.0 and USB3.0 DO NOT work with keyboard/mouse or any other USB peripheral such as a standard flash drive. Both offices use a Microsoft 850 wireless keyboard and mouse with USB dongle.
Laptop is a new ASUS Zenbook running W10 Pro with all updates current. Product is Unstable Does NOT Provide USB Support Bought two of the devices for my home office and my office so I could use two displays with my laptop without using DisplayLink systems or drivers.
