Notes

This EFI update for Open Core 0.6.7 includes a USBPorts.kext that is equivalent to USBPorts-NoHS14.kext (also included in this EFI) to comply with the 15-port logical USB port limit (with Kernel > Quirks > XhciPortLimit (Boolean: False)).
This USBPorts.kext does not have port HS14 (the internal Bluetooth USB port).
We can no longer boot with more than 15 logical USB ports starting with Big Sur 11.3.
This EFI also includes USBPorts-16.kext that you can edit to customize your own USB port map.
USBPorts-16.kext includes all 16 of the available logical USB ports on the G3, G4 and G5 Minis.

Before using this EFI, replace the following PlatformInfo > Generic values in config.plist with your own (use GenSMBIOS):

• MLB
• ROM
• SystemSerialNumber
• SystemUUID

This EFI enables the boot chime.
If you want OpenCore to load faster, disable UEFI > AudioSupport and delete the UEFI Audio driver (in config.plist).
