[Guide] Intel NUC7/NUC8 using Clover UEFI (NUC7i7Bxx,NUC8i7Bxx,etc)

Yes, thanks. I have an up and running Mojave 10.14.4 on my NUC8i3BEH now. I used this guide after having some issues at first https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...2-on-intel-nuci5beh-using-clover-uefi.268502/

How about the internal bluetooth device. Is it possible to use it? I can boot with it being active.

Hi , although i have never tested is my self (yet) but i heard that if you boot your system in Windows and connect to a device it will be available too in Mac OS .. but i do not think it will be very stable and it might be better to get a usb bluetooth device ..

I have already ordered a wlan/bluetooth usb stick and I will report whether it will work or not. I will not install windows parallel to the hackintosh system... :)

Hi BringItOn. It should work but it’s reported you won’t have the OSX Continuity feature available. I rarely if ever use that feature anyway...there may be other issues as well to post about.

What about this proposed way here on github? They seem to have continuity?

That was originally posted in this same forum and yes it seems to be the way to go if you want it all and are willing to give up the M2 slot on the motherboard. I use a PCIE M2 SSD there in both my units and do not care about the loss of wireless internet. If I did I’d go the USB adapter route because you can’t match the performance in a SATA SSD and I have wired internet at both locations. Whatever works for you is the way to go!
 
Yes it will.

This is my exact system and works well minus screen flashes (occurs randomly) after I walk away for 6+ hours or so.

Did you execute these terminal commands after install?

Code:
make
make install_nuc8bc
The 'make' causes the patched files to be compiled (with iasl), the results placed in ./build.

Hi, I bought exactly the same NUC as @RehabMan - NUC7i7BNH.
After following closely this guide I am experiencing "kextd stall[n], (240s): 'AppleACPICPU'" during installation.
Please note that I am using VM to create the installation disk, but using the RM's clover to create the bootable EFI disk.
My NUC is updated to the latest bios version as for now 46.

I can go pass this stall and install MAC OSx but after installation I am unable to boot in OS.
