Note

This ESP contains older version of OpenCore, your mileage may vary.

Important

ASUS have multiple version of TP412FA model released with different specs (noticable by proccessor generation). This ESP works only for the model with exact speficiations bellow.

ASUS TP412FA EFI System Partition (ESP)

This repository contains files and folder inside the EFI System Partition (ESP) on my ASUS TP412FA-EC302T notebook. This ESP contains OpenCore and other UEFI tools to boot to the operating systems I used, which are mainly macOS. Other operating systems, like Windows or Linux, are also supported with this OpenCore configuration.

Disclaimer!

The OpenCore configuration used in this ESP is tightly linked with my machine's BIOS firmware version and configuration. Any attempts to use this ESP —even on the same exact brand, model, hardware configuration, and BIOS firmware version— are not guaranteed to work as well as describe here.
