CUDA Toolkit and Driver Installation

CLOVER configuration

1. Add nvda_drv=1 to the Boot->Arguments section

   <key>Arguments</key>
   <string>-v dart=0 kext-dev-mode=1 rootless=0 nvda_drv=1</string>
   

2. Enable NVidia injection in the Graphics section

   <key>NVidia</key>
   <true/>
   

3. Add CsrActiveConfig with value 0x67 to the RtVariables section to completely disable SIP. Using csrutil disable in the Recovery mode will not work.

   <key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
   <string>0x67</string>
   

4. Enable NvidiaWeb injection in the SystemParameters

   <key>NvidiaWeb</key>
   <true/>
   

5. Download NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext (https://sourceforge.net/projects/nvidiagraphicsfixup/) and Lilu.kext (https://github.com/vit9696/Lilu/releases) and add them to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other

6. Besure that you have the EmuVariableUefi-64.efi file in /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI

NVIDIA driver and CUDA installation

1. Download the NVIDIA Web Driver for Mac OS X Sierra (my version is 10.12.6)
2. You can find a list of available drivers here http://hackintosher.com/guides/get-nvidia-graphic-cards-working-hackintosh/#drivers
3. Follow the NVIDIA CUDA Installation Guide for Mac OS X (http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-mac-os-x/index.html) to install the CUDA Toolkit

After that all these steps your should see your GTX1070 in the CUDA Control Panel in the System Preferences

Compiling Genoil ethminer

1. Currently the nvcc compiler does not support the newest Apple Clang 900.0.0, you must downgrade to 802.0.42 to make nvcc work

   • Go to https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=for%20Xcode, download the Command Line Tools for Xcode 8.3.2 and install it

   • Run the following command to switch to the old version:

     sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

   • If everything was done correctly you should something like this

     $ clang --version
     Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42)
     Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0
     Thread model: posix
     InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin
     

2. Compile the Genoil ethminer. I put it in ~/workspace. You can put it where you want.

   $ cd ~/workspace; git clone https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum
   # Install cmake via brew
   # Ethminer requires cmake version higher than 3.3. Mine is 3.9.2.
   $ brew install cmake
   $ cd cpp-ethereum
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build
   $ cmake ..
   # By default ethminer will generate code for all types of NVIDIA GPU. GTX1070 has the compute capability 6.1. To exclude others compute capabilities I specified -DCOMPUTE=61, but it is not necessary.
   $ cmake -DETHASHCUDA=on -DCOMPUTE=61 --build .
   $ cmake --build .
   # If everything went well you should see the ethminer binary in build/ethminer folder
   # To check if ethminer sees your GTX1070
   $ ./ethminer -U --list-devices
   [CUDA]:
   Listing CUDA devices.
   FORMAT: [deviceID] deviceName
   [0] GeForce GTX 1070
   Compute version: 6.1
   cudaDeviceProp::totalGlobalMem: 8589737984
   

Start mining

./ethminer -U -S eth.pool.minergate.com:45791 -O <your_wallet_or_login>
My Gigabyte N1 Gaming gives from 26 to 29 MH/s.
Happy ethereum mining!
