[initial success] Skull Canyon NUC

[munirocks]

I didn't have much time for tinkering with my nuc in the meantime. But it would be really great if some of the more knowledgable forum members had a go at this and made a proper guide for the rest of us. But I guess it's very early days still. Maybe in 3 days Apple will announce some new model that uses the same processor so that we could benefit from that? Fingers crossed...

I've been waiting for someone to try my guide.

I know the graphics part is wrong, but if someone were to install, then provide the files requested in "Problem Reporting", I could add the device-id to SSDT-IGPU.dsl for a test... That and the USB part will probably need tweaking. Also, easy to deal with after someone has it installed and can collect ioreg after plugging a device into all USB ports (both USB2 and USB3).

It will also be interesting if the SkullCanyon NUC has ALC283....

Okay, I'll give that another go following from the very start instead of using unibeast.
Btw, the skull canyon only has USB3 ports, no 2.0
Right now I have to wait for a clone to finish before I can do anything else. 4TB still takes quite a while over USB3. It's been running over 12 hours now and still has 1.2 TB left to copy...

Look like it is have ALC233, and three audio connectors - headset on the front, optical on the back and HDMI/Displayport
(I where not able to make audio working for now)

Graphics (Iris Pro 580) works fine with latest version of Clover. (OS X recognize it correctly) with ig-platform-id = 0x193b0000

Since most ALC233 is for laptops... it will require some tweaking.
Perhaps easier to start with the files for ALC283 and modify...

Attach audio codec dump from Linux.

Attach ioreg as ZIP: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

Attach audio codec dump from Linux.

Please find in attachment, two codec dumps from linux - one is for ALC233 another is for HDMI Audio.

ioreg - I will attach on Monday. (I have no access now to Skull Canyon)

ALC233 looks very similar to ALC283... same node numbering scheme, for example. Should be easy to adapt the ALC283 for NUC6 to work with ALC233 NUC6 SkullCanyon.

For what it's worth, here's my copy of IOReg. Note that it's not taken from a machine that completed all parts of your tutorial successfully but maybe that doesn't matter.

I've been trying to clone my current install to an external drive before starting over with the RehabMan guide but every time it completely crashed the nuc after just a few GB. Also I struggled a lot to get the drive to mount at all. Some ports work sometimes... But there's definitely something wrong with USB or with detecting external drives. Anyways, it looks like I'll have to skip the cloning, which is a bummer.

I went ahead and added support to SSDT-IGPU.dsl for 8086:193b (injecting ig-platform-id 0x193b0000). You're currently using 0x19160000, which obvious works too, but it is probably better to use an ig-platform-id from the correct family for the actual graphics device. There are also other options 0x193b0005 and 0x193b0006, which if the numbering scheme is consistent with the past, most likely correspond to future Apple laptops with this hardware.

I'll add the audio support later, although I might fork the github project for that... (still deciding).
