You can go the simple way and download the finished image with the kernel 5.3.5-1 and the patches from aunali1 link to the finished image.Partitioning a physical disk into Disk Utility partitions.

Allocate free space using Disk Utilityįor convenience, I immediately allocated 30GB to the disk, formatting it to exfat in Disk Utility itself. Disable the ban on loading from external mediaĢ. This is only necessary in the early stages of installation.ġ.

USB-C USB dock adapter (at least three USB inputs for connecting a mouse, keyboard, usb modem or phone in tethering mode).

Not all of this article worked, so I had to look for a solution on my own. The article was taken from the github in English from here. This tutorial is applicable for macbookpro15.1 and macbookpro15.2.

Wi-Fi module (via brcmfmac and only through iw).

Touchbar (with the ability to turn on the Fn keys, backlight, ESC, etc.).

USB-C (Thunderbolt was not tested, when the module loads automatically, it suspends the system tightly).

Support was also implemented for devices such as wi-fi, touchpad, etc, using kernel patches. Some drivers for the keyboard / trackpad are now included in the kernel, starting with version 5.3. The second project is called macbook12-spi-driver, and it implements the possibility of the input driver for the keyboard, SPI trackpad, touchbar for MacBook Pro late 2016 and later.

Audio - driver for T2 audio interface, currently only audio output through MacBook's built-in speakers is supported.

VHCI is a USB virtual host controller a keyboard, mouse, and other system components are provided by this component (other drivers use this host controller to provide more functionality.

BCE (Buffer Copy Engine) - establishes the main channel of communication with T2.

The mbp2018-bridge-drv project is divided into 3 main components: The main driver for MacBook models 2018 and newer implements VHCI (operation of the touch / keyboard / etc.), as well as the functioning of sound. As time went on, and by the end of 2019, third-party developers implemented a number of drivers and kernel patches for interacting with the T2 chip. There was a lot of hype about the fact that due to the new T2 chip, it is impossible to install linux on the new 2018 MacBook with a touchbar.
