Intel NUC 10 Frost Canyon

[zavrus]

Hi, guys!

I was out for recent time though every missed posts have been read (I hope).
I do updates of OpenCore (and kexts used) & MacOS regularly and I haven't experienced much troubles which could worth to mention.

The funny thing is that there are no any significant steps in making NUC10 more 'MacOS native' - I can't see audio improvement, there is still a lack of native framebuffer, no thunderbolt@startup improvements and sleep&wake issues and so far - I see no improvements for last year.

For me, as for HackMac beginner, it looks quite strange/ridiculous.
Is NUC so seldom thing to adapt or it's just there is not enough interest to 'finishly polish' NUC?

Can someone help me to understend something.. i have intel nuc 10 gen with i5… if i want to setup whatever green, what i have to look??.. because my cpu is i5-10210u ( https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...10210u-processor-6m-cache-up-to-4-20-ghz.html) and it is comet lake… if i looked some conf.plist of someone they take setup for coffe lake and here i‘ m very confused! what i need to look when i want to setup whatever green device id and appl,ig-pltform-id?

can someone help me to setup my grafic setup?

The NUC10i7 models require CPU emulation to work, those of us who have them (had in my case) spoofed OS X to see the processor as a coffee lake model. That's necessary because Apple does not use the processors intel chose for the NUC10s, spoofing is necessary to allow the machine to boot. I thought the i5 models didn't need CPU emulation but I never owned one, its just my understanding that's the case. Either way graphics performance gets complicated for either processor and as far as I know has never been resolved. It works but not at the same level as the NUC8s. Apple doesn't support Intel UHD Graphics for 10th Gen Intel Processors so similar to spoofing the CPU to make it work the iGPU ID that works is based on Coffee Lake.

From your link to your CPU:

I still have a NUC10i7FNH running Catalina latest, but It hasn’t been touched in nearly a year. It is running headless. It is not my primary machine.

I bought an M1 Mini at the end of January. It is my everyday machine. It is awesome.

The new version of my EFI, has been correct the GPU and fix other problem... and as soon as possible, native TB

I visited your Github page, its a nice source of information for NUC10i5 users. i7 users will need to enable CPU Emulation. I thought I would post your Geekbench results from there and show how they compare to an NUC8 (although mine is an i7 graphics performance should be a valid comparison otherwise).

These are yours

Here's my NUC8 CPU scores, very similar to yours

Here are my graphics scores, almost double yours although it's the last generation it's the main reason I don't have an NUC10 anymore.

Can someone tell me the HDA controller device-ID? or better a Linux codec-dump of the NUC10. Thanks.

@Leesureone I also choose the NUC8 because of the poor graphics of the NUC10. Is there any reason other than the front USB-C port to buy the NUC10?

Sure, if you use windows or linux its a nice little machine.

I believe this is what you are looking for.

Thanks, apparently it also not fully working on Linux

Like all system platforms, it just depends on how many people use them. If enough people have it and tinker with it I’m sure we’ll have an answer somewhere.

For the rest, you could try using the Comet Lake CPUIDs starting from Catalina 10.15.7. Afaik Comet Lake EC060800 now works/is supported as is the Intel UHD 620.

If you need the CML AAPL,ig-platform-id & device-id for the framebuffer try 0000CA9B or 0000CC9B & CA9B0000 or CC9B0000 respectively. Just remember to also add in the framebuffer-patch-enabled, framebuffer-fbmem, stolenmem & unifiedmem values.

For the audio since it is Intel audio chip only we can use FakePCIID Intel HD Audio kext for the time being.

Not sure about the Thunderbolt issues, but there is a Github page dedicated to the NUC where you should be able to enable the TB hotplug.
