Asus Prime Z-370-A II OpenCore 0.6.6 Install Tips

I thought I would share what it takes to get the Asus Prime Z-370-A II up and running. The Booter Changes also have helped other Asus 370 motherboard owners.

Bios Settings
Here is a list of what are the correct settings, and where to access them:

#Disable

• Fast Boot – Boot Fast Boot
• Secure Boot – Boot\Secure Boot
• Serial/COM Port – Advanced\Onboard Devices\Configuration
• Parallel Port - (none)
• VT-d (can be enabled if you set DisableIoMapper to YES) – Advanced\System Agent (SA) Configuration
• CSM – Boot\CSM (Compatibility Support Module)
• Thunderbolt(For initial install, as Thunderbolt can cause issues if not setup correctly) – Advanced\Thunderbolt™ Configuration
• Intel SGX – Advanced\Cpu Configuration
• Intel Platform Trust – Advanced\PCH-FW Configuration – TPM - Discrete
• CFG Lock (MSR 0xE2 write protection) – Advanced\CPU Configuration\CPU - Power Management

​

#Enable

• VT-x - Advanced\CPU Configuration – Intel Virtualization Technology
• Above 4G decoding - Advanced\System Agent (SA) Configuration
• Hyper-Threading – not supported on 9700k chipset
• Execute Disable Bit - Not Available
• EHCI/XHCI Hand-off – Not Available
• OS type: Windows 8.1/10 UEFI Mode – Boot\Secure Boot
• DVMT Pre-Allocated(iGPU Memory): 64MB – Advanced\System Agent (SA) Configuration\Graphics Configuration

​

AML's you will need: (You don't need AWAC)

• SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml
• SSDT-PLUG-DRTNIA.aml

​

Settings that differ from the guide for this motherboard in Config.plist - Booter - Quirks

• DevirtualiseMMio - True
• ProtectUefiServices - False
• RebuildAppleMemoryMap - False
• SetupVirtualMap - False

​

USB Mapping - Do not mark any of the PXSX Ports. When you create the kext It will mention finding an empty controller, just ignore it. The USB-C port and the USB-A port next to it will work fully.
Hope this helps others.
