2.0 Setup SD Card Reader

The SD-Card reader is not supported in macos. However with a bit of trickery we can make it work

It takes under 10 Seconds to mount your SD Card.

Status: Works is not polished. See Improvement/todo Section

Requirements on the mac

VMware Fusion Player or Pro Version.

The Player is free.

Change the ssdt from the default one to this one in the right folder on the EFI Partition. It allows for powering on the SD-Card-Reader: https://github.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro-Hackintosh/files/5354072/SSDT-USB_SD.zip

you don't need to reboot yet. You need to do this after fuse install.

Install Homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Install sshfs and Fuse:

brew cask install osxfuse

brew install sshfs

Make an mount dir.

sudo mkdir /Volumes/SD-CardReader
