Eglobal S200 Nuc Intel i7 8750H / Mini PC Compatible?

Hello, as it's not the same motherboard & not the same Core I version (coffee lake refresh for you I think) you must follow Dortania tutorial & make your own EFI. But first be sure (as me) to have a compatible SSD, with clean EFI. If you have more than one SSD unplug them, remove Intel WiFi/Bluetooth too, add them one by one if you have a successful install.
As Amateur85 said : " It's step by step"

His Ssd is compliant as it is the same I am using

Thank you i found the right tutorial => Coffee Lake Plus(9th Gen)
Wish me luck!

Since it is not a desktop, but more a laptop in terms of its components I advise the laptop guide and neglect the laptop specific stuff like backlight, touchpad etc.

Good luck will take a look at your efi when I have time, maybe you can reuse stuff from shared efi’s in this thread.

thanks
Otherwise for the SSDTS, should i go Prebuilt, SSDTime or Manuel ?

I went for manual, but essentially that is getting the prebuilt one and delete the unused parts of the ssdt. Ssdttime is missing stuff.

Hi Jlaart,

I am a bit confused, I see you refer to Shumbola's EFI (he uses Clover), but the EFI you posted is the one I created based on Opencore. The errorlog is useless, providing no information. Try using the following boot-args: -v keepsyms=1 and debug=0x100. Make a screen shot on the output in Verbose mode to provide any clues.

A wild guess: you are using my patched SSDT-EC-USBX which is based on the S200, but might be different than S210. Not sure about that. So you could try and use the pre-built version with all possibilities in it to get it working. Will slow boot time a bit, but will possibly boot.

Another point is that you didn't post all BIOS settings, did you disable VT-d? I would disable quiet boot as well. Can you share a screen of the H/W performance settings in bios menu?

Good luck.

Hi @ all

Last Update macOS Catalina 10.15.6 is OK

So How to proceed (you need to stay in front of the screen & follow all process) :

- Make Backup of your system with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, including your EFI.
- Download & Run Update from "about this Mac".
- Each time system reboot choose "MacOS Install blablabla" in your favorite Bootloader until this choice no longer appears (2 times for me)
- @ last boot sequence "MacOS Install bablabla" will no longer an option, so select your main OS.
- Overall time is about 30 min (even with NVMe SSD).

I think it's the last update before MacOS Big Sur and maybe the end of Hackintosh

Maybe or maybe not. I’ll have Ubuntu next to Macos, Imho, everyone has

Yeah i'm confused too right i referred to Shumbola's EFI but finaly i used your's for Opencore.
now i'm building an EFI from scratch with manuel SSDTS i will try the pre-built version and SSDTime one.
For the BIOS settings, that is a different kettle of fish. the chinese factory has limited the BIOS of the 210S to the minimum and no way to get a version with all the possibility

Ah, alright. Then you’re really on your own. Be careful on the config since you need to adjust things you normally can do in the bios like vt-d etc. Good luck
