I have a fresh Mojave install on NUC7i7BNH and everything works. This is using today's github commit.
Dual monitors (usb-c and hdmi) work. Analog and hdmi audio work.
The only minor inconvenience is one of the displays has to be disconnected during start. Otherwise I have no signal on the display at all. But once it's up, I can plug in the other display without any problems.

I just got a NUC7i5DNH (dawson canyon) and a dw1560 wireless card. I'll do another install and report back. Hoping to have wifi and bluetooth on that.

Thanks @RehabMan. Great work

Thanks for the feedback. Nice to hear about a success story.

hello ，rehabman . i find you from a chinese forum about hackintosh. I bought Intel NUC7i7DNHE.It is on the way . I will follow you guide to install 10.14 . i know that this nuc does not have inner audio hardware , can it work with hdmi2.0 to output the audio signal？

I don't know about HDMI 2.0 specifically (I have no HDMI 2.0 devices), but HDMI audio works with my device (Dell U2410).

I did a fresh install of Mojave on NUC7i5DN with a DW1560 BCM94352Z M.2. Had a couple problems that I'd need help with.
- I used config_install_nuc7.plist on the Mojave USB. Install worked fine.
- Booted to install usb and chose newmac on clover:

• 2 HDMI monitors worked, no hdmi audio.
• installed clover on newmac
• cloned the rehabman nuc git repo, ran ./downloads.sh; ./install_downloads.sh
• right after ./install_downloads.sh finished, the wireless icon appeared on the menu bar but newmac froze.

- reset the computer, booted to newmac but booting didn't finish
- reset the computer, booted to install usb and got the logon screen.

• 2 HDMI monitors worked with hdmi audio.
  
• wireless icon now says no wifi hardware installed
• bluetooth worked, but not wifi
• reran ./downloads.sh, ./install_downloads.sh
• make; make install_nuc7dc; cp config_nuc7_dc.plist /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist

- rebooted to newmac. booted only finished when there was no connection to non uhd protected hdmi

• only one monitor worked (uhh protected hdmi)
• monitor couldn't detect signal coming from the regular hdmi port
• hdmi audio worked
• wireless icon still says no wifi hardware installed
  
• bluetooth worked, but not wifi

I'm attaching the zipped debug file. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Your profile shows NUC7i7BNH, but you write about NUC7i5DN.
Which is correct?
Please fix your profile if it is inaccurate or incomplete.

As for the HDMI problems, try setting or disabling the framebuffer-patch-enable property in your config.plist.

Did you test your WiFi hardware in Windows to be certain it is working?

I have both. I've added the NUC7i5DN to my profile.

As for the HDMI problems, try setting or disabling the framebuffer-patch-enable property in your config.plist.

Setting framebuffer-patch-enable to 0 fixed the problem. Thanks.

Did you test your WiFi hardware in Windows to be certain it is working?

No. I should've. I tried it and wifi also didn't work on windows . I'll return the card and get a replacement. Do you recommend the Lenovo BCM94352Z instead of Dell one?

Thanks.
