3. Using this EFI with macOS

To enable iServices functionality, you can:

1. Generate SMBIOS data with GenSMBIOS

• Follow the Dortania iServices guide to generate new SMBIOS data for your machine.

2. For local builds of this EFI, patch existing SMBIOS data automatically.

• This is automatically patched each time you run a build using the .serialdata file (using existing data or data generated by GenSMBIOS).
• Refer to the .serialdata.example file for an example of the entry format.
