kext VS USBMap

do you have both USBToolBox.kext and UTBMap.kext? you need both USBToolBox.kext and UTBMap.kext for USBToolBox to function. https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext

Output from usb mapping is UTBMap.kext. Then you add USBToolbox.kext

If you have access to windows, this is a good usb mapping script. https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext. Heaps of guides around.

USBtoolbox, UTBmap

Do the usb mapping with USBToolboxadd Toolbox.kext too

Next, head here (https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext/releases)

Before you install OSX on the target machine, install Windows 10 or Windows 11 first. Make sure that ALL of your drivers for Windows 10 or 11 are installed (especially your chipset drivers). Use the Windows version of USBToolBox, and map your ports per their instructions (basic instructions are on the same page with the utility). Grab that here: https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool. Run the Windows.exe version (your antivirus software will go nuts trying to run this on your machine, either allow it, or rename the executable after unpacking it). Copy the created kext (called UTBMap.kext) file this program creates onto a separate flash drive to use after MacOSX is installed. Next, head here (https://github.com/USBToolBox/kext/releases), and grab the two kexts (USBToolBox.kext and UTBDefault.kext) within the zip file. Unpack, and put them in your EFI/OC/Kexts folder on your bootable USB drive. Use ProperTree to open the config.plist on your bootable drive, do an OC Clean Snapshot (this updates the config.plist with the new kexts you added), and SAVE.

If you are stuck with using macOS only, they recommend USBMap anyway -> https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap

Download Python, and USBMap from https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap

iMessage and FaceTime works as well as all of my USB ports since I've mapped them manually with USBMap linked here https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap.

Just confirming that you have built a USBMap.kext? Per this guide?

https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap is a reference for how to map USB. You can also read here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/pastrychefs-asus-rog-strix-z370-g-gaming-wi-fi-ac-build-w-i9-9900k-amd-6600-xt.239969/ (search: map) for details on the fact that the motherboard's M2 slot uses an internal USB2 port. If it's not mapped, no USB, no BT.

Mapped using the Corpnewt guide linked from Dortania guide

Not sure where I'm going wrong - I've updated to the latest version of OpenCore and I'm running just fine on Catalina. There are a few threads similar to this that recommend USB mapping, so I tried that, using the USBMap/Readme. It hasn't seemed to make a difference, unless I screwed up somewhere, but all my ports currently work fine. I have yet to try USBInjectAll.kext, as I do not currently need that to boot and use my USBs in Catalina, but that will probably be my next step.

Then I cannot get my USB ports to work properly. I'm trying to map them with USBMap but they only seem to recognise USB3 devices and not USB2. I have a USB3 disk that I have plugged into everything and it shows up in USBMap and IORegestryExplorer, but when I do the same with my USB2 keyboard, it doesn't find it at all.

Also, use this to map your USBs: https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap
