macOS: installing High Sierra on a new combo

GigaByte Z370 HD3P - i7-8700 Coffee Lake - iGPU HD 630 - High Sierra

macOS: from 10.14 to 10.14.1

Steps:

• Update Clover through Clover Configurator: pick custom install and check (default if already done once)
  • AptioMemoryFix-64,
  • ApfsDriverLoader-64 and
  • PartitionDxe-64
• Update kexts in /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
• AppleALC.kext
• lilu.kext
• WhateverGreen.kext
• FakeSMC.kext
• IntelMausiEthernet.kext
• Update macOS to 10.14.1 via Software Update
  
  and leave it reboot by default
• As my config. was booting, but got stuck, not starting the macOS GUI, I changed the Clover options at boot time so as to replace iMac 17,1, which was working for 10.14, with iMac 18,3. This allowed to start the GUI but the display was flickering like hell. Multiple trials later, I found out iMac 14,2 was solving the flickering issue.
  
• Follow [Guide] Creating a Custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext so as to solve USB3 ports issues.
  At first, I thought about following Intel FB-Patcher v1.6.3 | USB Port Patching, because less complicated, but I found out the FB-Patcher is not as reliable as the RehabMan's method for detecting ports.
  At least, FB-Patcher told me I was using a "USB controller - XHC - 8086:A2AF". So,
  • Removed all legacy High Sierra ACPI changes mentioned in my GigaByte Z370 HD3P - i7-8700 Coffee Lake - iGPU HD 630 - High Sierra page, that were useless in 10.14, i.e. Change HDAS to HDEF, Change HECI to IMEI and Change GFX0 to IGPU.
  • Copied USBInjectAll.kext into /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other.
  • Copied XHCI-unsupported.kext (from USBInjectAll ZIP) into /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other, like mentioned in OS-X-USB-Inject-All for a 8086:a2af USB controller.
  • EHCx renames and port limit patches, like in config_patches.plist.
  • 1st reboot with -uia_exclude_ss option at Clover boot
  • Test of HS ports, validating HS03, HS04, HS07,HS08,HS09,HS10,HS11,HS12,HS13,HS14 as USB3 ports.
  • 2nd reboot with uia_exclude=HS01,...,HS09,HS11,...,HS14,USR1 because proposed option (-uia_exclude_ss uia_include=HS10) was not keeping HS10 (my Dell screen USB hub where my keyboard and mouse are plugged in) active.
  • Test of SS ports, validating SS03, SS04, SS07, SS08 as USB3 ports.
  • Updated SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl so as to remove everything not concerning 8086_a2af, like in

    // SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl
    //
    // This SSDT can be used as a template to build your own
    // customization for USBInjectAll.kext.
    //
    // This SSDT contains all ports, so using it is the same as without
    // a custom SSDT.  Delete ports that are not connected or ports you
    // do not need.
    //
    // Change the UsbConnector or portType as needed to match your
    // actual USB configuration.
    //
    // Note:
    // portType=0 seems to indicate normal external USB2 port (as seen in MacBookPro8,1)
    // portType=2 seems to indicate "internal device" (as seen in MacBookPro8,1)
    // portType=4 is used by MacBookPro8,3 (reason/purpose unknown)
    //

  • Used MaciAS so as to compile SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl into SSDT-UIAC-ALL.aml by using File | Save As, format: ACPI Machine Language Binary.
  • Copied SSDT-UIAC-ALL.aml into /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
  • Rebooted.
    

Clojure: load deps.edn aliases extra-deps from Cider

Let's say this is deps.edn:

{:paths ["src" "resources"]
 :deps {com.datomic/ion {:mvn/version "0.9.26"}
        org.clojure/data.json {:mvn/version "0.2.6"}
        org.clojure/clojure {:mvn/version "1.9.0"}}
 :mvn/repos {"datomic-cloud" {:url "s3://datomic-releases-1fc2183a/maven/releases"}}
 :aliases
 {:dev {:extra-deps {com.datomic/client-cloud {:mvn/version "0.8.63"}
                     com.datomic/ion-dev {:mvn/version "0.9.176"}}}}}

Then, if we use M-x cider-jack-in from Emacs, this will not load the aliases extra-deps.
In order to do so, invoke cider-jack-in interactively:

C-u M-x cider-jack-in

Then, when the REPL command is displayed, use C-a to go to the beginning of the line and add -R:dev (see Clojure Deps and CLI Guide) in order to take into account optional dependencies.
