Description

Building a new version of bootloader based on OC instead Clover which can bring a lot of benefits in performance and integrity. Sadly it's still a beta which requires a lot of work in testing different things. Clover configuration is fine actually but in future it would be good to have OC there.

  • Bare OpenCore Bootloader
  • ReFind Conjunction with fancy theme

There we should implement basic KEXTs, maybe we can use these contained in Clover but I'm not sure about their version.

  • WhateverGreen
  • Lilu
  • VirtualSMC
  • AudioPkg

The most terrific part of OpenCore Bootloader building will be DTS

Contributor guide

Research the OpenCore bootloader, its configuration, and the differences from Clover. Explore the specific KEXTs (WhateverGreen, Lilu, VirtualSMC, AudioPkg) and their compatible versions, and investigate the DTS (Device Tree) setup for the Asus GL553VD.
