Many thanks for the guide!
I have a problem after I run "make install" (mounts the EFI partition, and copies the built files where they can be loaded by Clover (to EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched)) I get error 64.
After that, I did a restart and its stacks at a black screen with a "not allowed" sign

Your profile is not filled out as requested in the guide (no idea which NUC you have). Please fix.

What do you mean by "error 64". Use photos/text from Terminal to explain clearly. Don't forget that you must install Clover to your SSD/HDD before running 'make install' (it is in post #2 of the main Clover guide, linked from this guide).

If you can't boot, how do you have the ability to provide ioreg? And if you can't boot, ... Boot verbose, show photo. Attach EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (omit 'themes' folder).

If you can boot, but something is not right, read post #1, "Problem Reporting".
 
I Apologise for missing info:
I have a NUC5i7RYH, 16GB RAM, 512GB Samsung SM951 NVMe M.2.
I tried the installation process two times just in case I am missing something. I got the ioreg just before restarting during the second installation. In order to get screenshot of terminal with the error I would have to repeat the installation process again. No problem doing that.
I can't boot verbose. I am pressing cmd+V after Clover boot choices but still getting the not allowed screen.
If I remove the USB stick used for the installation I get " A bootable device has not been detected". With the USB I get clover choices.
After I got the error when executing the "make install" I could see the EFI partition but didn't had any files on it.

If I need to start over with the installation I will do it in order to give you more details about the error.

Cmd+V does nothing (your computer is not a Mac). Verbose boot is available from the Clover menu that results from pressing the space bar.

It indicates you forgot to install Clover to your SSD.

If I need to start over with the installation I will do it in order to give you more details about the error.

I think the problem is EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched doesn't exist, so 'make install' fails. You need to follow the guide carefully. By the time you're running 'make install', Clover should have already been installed to your SSD. The Clover installer creates the EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched directory.

Thanks for the help, I will try again the installation.

After reading the guide carefully and following the instructions one by one I manage to make it work.

Thanks again!
 
Got my NUC5i3RYH working after after some mistakes, including sleep and audio.

Has anyone got VDADecoder support on the Broadwell NUC?

I added iMac16,2 to the VDADecoder.bundle/Contents/Info.plist and rebuilt kextcache, but it does not work.

Would be really nice if we could get this to work, it keeps the fan off while watching video.

No such VDADecoder.bundle in my 10.11 /S/L/E. What are you actually referring to?
 
Oh my mistake its called AppleVADriver.bundle.
But now that I compare with my MacBookPro11,1 - it is not listed in there as well.
I think this bundle might be for older Hardware only.

My main Problem is missing Video Decoding Acceleration (H264). Safari, Chrome and QuickTime all use 150-200% CPU playing a 4K video instead of max. 20% on my Macbook (or Windows 10 on the NUC itself).
 
Here some general tips to get a smooth experience with the NUC5i3RYH (and probably other Boradwell NUCs):

  1. I had Audio popping when the sound chip was put to sleep and woken up.
    http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/a-quick-fix-hack-to-eliminate-sound-popping.91572/#post-736862

    Instead of downloading a silent aiff file, I created my own with say -o silence.aiff " "
    and set the delay to 24.

    _
  2. I was annoyed with the numlock LED on my keyboard being on and being unable to turn it off.
    In OSX the num block is always enabled anyway.

    To fix this someone posted a way to turn it off in the Visual BIOS.
    As the Poster I needed to click and use arrow keys multiple times until it switched to off.
