Overview

Working

• CPU / IGPU
  • Use AMDPowerGadget for CPU power management and temperature monitoring.
  • Use RadeonSensor to monitor GPU temperature.
• WIFI/Bluetooth
• Apple ID & iMessages & iCloud
• Interrupt mode touchpad and keyboard input
• 1080p 120hz HiDPI display
• Built-in speakers and 3.5mm headphone audio output / Built-in microphone
• All USB ports / NVME SSD
• S3 Sleep
  • Use UMAF tool to enable S3 Sleep
  • Might need to enter the following commands in the terminal:

    sudo pmset autopoweroff 0
    sudo pmset powernap 0
    sudo pmset standby 0
    sudo pmset proximitywake 0
    sudo pmset tcpkeepalive 0
    

Not working and current issues

• NVIDIA graphics card
• Chrome and Chromium browsers cannot use hardware acceleration normally, waiting for NootedRed driver update to resolve
• Some Fn shortcut keys
• After using Windows and restarting to macOS, there is no sound from the headphones. A forced shutdown and reboot will make it work normally again.
• VCN (video/image hardware encoding/decoding) still has some problems, can be used but not guaranteed, turned off by default, to turn on, please add -nredvcn to boot-args. For details, please go to the NootedRed page to see the latest progress.

Temperature

You can control the temperature within a suitable range by turning off CPS (core performance boost), but this will lose some performance. You can use the UMAF tool to turn off CPS in the BIOS, but it will affect the performance of other systems such as Windows, so it is recommended to use AMD Power Gadget to turn it off after each boot into the system, at least for now.
