OpenCore sample for ASUS UX501VW

I didn't make this repository public, so you can just copy paste everything. It's a sample to show what you need to boot and have most devices working. I don't care if you can't dual boot or your house burns down or whatever.

This repo should also help GL552VW users, as the hardware is almost the same, just with ROG branding.

I plan to update this as new versions of kexts get released.

Specs

CPU 6700HQ
RAM Onboard 8GB + 1 slot, mine has an 8GB stick
GPU HD530 / GTX960M (Disabled)
AUDIO ALC668
WLAN Intel 7265
TPD Elan 1000
SSD WD SN770 1TB

What works

• Boot
• Sleep
• Wake
• Internal & external displays
• Keyboard
• Touchpad
• USB2/3 (Type-C/TB is disabled - no device to map with)
• Audio
• Battery status
• Bluetooth
• Wifi
• FN keys (but keyboard backlight is dead on mine, HW issue)
• Webcam

Not working

• PCIe card reader, just use an USB thing
• 960M, disabled with a hotpatch
• iMessage, I wouldn't use it anyway
• AirportItlwm with Mikrotik access points - use older itlwm for now

Both the latest AirportItlwm and Itlwm is kind of broken, sees all the SSIDs, but doesn't want to connect to anything, router says invalid rsn group cipher. A detailed bug report will be submitted later, until then I'm using an older version of itlwm, I believe it's 2.2.
