Description

How to build RyzenAdj for macOS

Limitations

• Monitoring functions like ./ryzenadj --info not working
  • adjustment only

Prerequisite

• cmake (via Homebrew)

Environment

• macOS Monterey 12.4
• Xcode 13.4.1 (to build DirectHW)

Build

DirectHW

https://github.com/vampirecat35/DirectHW-BigSur

git clone https://github.com/vampirecat35/DirectHW-BigSur.git
cd DirectHW-BigSur/DirectHw

# using prebuilt binaries
mkdir -p /tmp/include/DirectHW
cp DirectHW.h /tmp/include/DirectHW
cp build/Release/libDirectHW.a /tmp/include
cp -r build/Release/DirectHW.kext /path/to/EFI/OC/Kexts/

Build your own (Xcode required)

sed -i -e 's/Apple Development/-/' DirectHW.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
make build
cp build/Release/libDirectHW.a /tmp/include
cp -r build/Release/DirectHW.kext /path/to/EFI/OC/Kexts/

pciutils

https://github.com/vampirecat35/pciutils-osx

git clone https://github.com/vampirecat35/pciutils-osx.git
cd pciutils-osx

sed -i -e 's/Frameworks/Frameworks -I\/tmp\/include/' Makefile
sed -i -e 's/usr\/local\/lib/tmp\/include/' lib/configure
make

mkdir -p /tmp/include/pci
cp lib/*.h /tmp/include/pci
cp lib/libpci.a /tmp/include

RyzenAdj

https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj

git clone https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj.git
cd RyzenAdj

sed -i -e 's/${INC_DIR}/\/tmp\/include/' CMakeLists.txt
sed -i -e 's/ pci/ pci DirectHW/' CMakeLists.txt
sed -i -e 's/${OS_LINK_DIR}/\/tmp\/include/' CMakeLists.txt

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

How to use

Preparation

• Add DirectHW.kext to config.plist
• Add debug=0x44 boot-args to config.plist
