OpenCore bootloader ONLY, Clover not supported (Let it go).

F9 BIOS from GIGABYTE resolves the Apple Watch unlock(SERIAL PORT disabled) issue and provides the CFG Unlock in the BIOS. CFG Unlock is required for this EFI to work properly. Be sure to upgrade F9.
YOU MUST modify SN/UUID/MLB/ROM values in config.plist file. ROM value is the MAC address of your motherboard built-in network card, check it on BIOS settings.
