• Settings

  1. Load UEFI Defaults
  2. Advanced
     • Onboard HD Audio: Enabled
     • USB Configuration - XHCI Hand-off: Enabled
     • Super IO Configuraton - Serial Port: Disabled

Display Connectors

• DisplayPort: best option, has signal since start of boot and should work out-of-box; if your display only has HDMI connectors, a DisplayPort to HDMI cable is recommended, note that the only confirmed-working model so far is DP111 by Ugreen (PS176 chipset).
• HDMI: can get working with extra hack for multi-screen setup; only receives signal after entring MacOS.

Clover

Version: v5112

config.plist

• ACPI

  • DSDT

    • Change SAT0 to SATA
    • Change EHC1 to EH01
    • Change EHC2 to EH02
    • Change XHCI to XHC

  • SDST

    • Generate

      • PluginType: True

        This enables native power management.

  • DropTables

    • DMAR

      This prevents some issues with Vt-d; which is PCI passthrough for VMs, and not very functional (if at all?) on Hackintoshes. (Reference)

    • MATS

      With High Sierra on up this table is parsed, and can sometimes contain unprintable characters that can lead to a kernel panic. (Reference)

• Boot

  • Arguments

    • slide=0

      This works hand in hand with EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi to solve sleep/wake-up issue. Remember to Install RC Scripts to Target Volume when installing Clover, otherwise your Clover boot screen might have trouble counting down automatically. (Reference)

    • darkwake=0

      This enables wake from sleep with one keystroke. (Reference)

    • dart=0

      This is just an extra layer of protection against Vt-d issues. (Reference)

    • shikigva=40

      This flag is specific to the iGPU. It enables a few Shiki settings that do the following (found here):

      8 - AddExecutableWhitelist - ensures that processes in the whitelist are patched.

      32 - ReplaceBoardID - replaces board-id used by AppleGVA by a different board-id.

drivers/UEFI

Install via Clover or Clover Configurator

Driver	Purpose
ApfsDriverLoader.efi	Allows Clover to see and boot from APFS volumes by loading apfs.efi from ApfsContainer located on block device (if using AptioMemoryFix as well, requires R21 or newer) (Reference)
HFSPlus.efi	Required for Clover to see and boot HFS+ volumes (Reference)
AptioMemoryFix.efi	The new hotness that includes NVRAM fixes, as well as better memory management (Reference)
EmuVariableUefi.efi	Enable nvram on mobos without native support
FSInject.efi	Responsible for Clover's kext injection into kernelcache
OsxFatBinaryDrv.efi	Responsible to override for fat binary loading on UEFI where fat binary support is not present
CsmVideoDxe.efi	Responsible to unlock VBIOS and make available "hidden" resolutions while UEFI booting
