This repository provides a pre-made EFI setup for the OpenCore bootloader specifically designed for the Dell Optiplex 3050.
Note
This repository is no longer actively maintained. It is recommended to use it as a reference for creating your own custom EFI configuration rather than relying on it for direct installation. I don't have access to this hardware anymore.

First of all, ensure you're firmware and drivers are generally up to date. Next download the EFI by getting it from assets in
Releasespage or cloning whole repo. -
It may still boot with EFI as it is just fine but please ensure to dump your own SSDTs for
EFI/OC/ACPIwith SSDTTime, remember that every configuration differ even if it's the same model! -
The included SMBIOS in this repository is not associated with a purchased Apple device. For your own sake, it's not recommended to use it. Re-generate
iMac20,1SMBIOS for your EFI using GenSMBIOS. You just need a invalid or unused SMBIOS to copy-paste the required info, especially if you intend to use iServices. -
The situation may change in the future, depending on Apple's actions. Thanks to Intel, it appears that spoofing from Kaby Lake to Coffee Lake (KBL -> CFL) is possible so will come in handy if needed.
P.S.: An updated reference image is needed, so if someone achieves success, please consider contributing. This repository started as a result of boredom in class and now that I've graduated, it's become a bit of a guessing game.
