[Guide] El Capitan on the Intel Broadwell NUC

You may be confusing SSDT with DSDT. There is no "patched" SSDT, nor does the NUC require a patched DSDT. Virtually any machine works better with some SSDTs in place (such as for CPU power saving). In most cases you can avoid patching the DSDT anyway if you have enough config.plist-fu. RehabMan, for instance, has worked magic in his BRIX configuration.

Note also:

A lot of that "config.plist-fu" (and SSDT-fu) is applicable to computers other than the BRIX.

Oh, yes! But you have to have it to use it.

I finally stumbled upon this fine write-up. It ended days of frustration.

This was my second mackintosh build based on this NUC5i7RYH system.
My older setup is based on Gigabyte Z77 UDP5 Thunderbolt motherboard and Nvidia eVGA graphics.

I did follow the Multibeast El Capitan guide were it explicitly states that you don't have to do the Clover steps when you use Multibeast. I ended up with endless reboots and no success.

BUT...
this guide was easy to follow and got me through the setup process in no time. Running now El Capitan on M.2 drive and Win 10 on SATA drive. Sound works and am using wired ethernet.

Big Thanks, friends and tinkerers ... what would we all do without you

My config:
NUC5i7RYH
2 x 8 GB Corsair RAM
250 GB Samsung 850 M.2
500 GB Samsung M500 SATA

Two suggestions that will help. Start your own thread in El Capitan Desktop Support.
Take a closer picture of your kernel panic screen. Use the macro mode on your camera
if it's got one. Nearly impossible to tell what that pic is showing.

Awesome, thank you I appreciate that! Here it is http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...uc-5i7-installation-problems.html#post1160088

Hi. I am working on a driver for the wireless 7265 card in the 5i7. Current state is very buggy - but it does however work. Will post once i get it to work properly.

Hey guys thanks for the hard work and your feed back on the nuc installation of macosx! My only problem so far is the audio is cranky works but has cranky sounds even when no audio plays! And is there any guide to downgrade from the main motherboard menu the bios to 348 i am stuck to 350?? Thanks

My nuc model is: NUC5I5RYK

Hi guys,

Do you think this will help with people getting a messed up boot logo on start up?

Boot Logo Garbled

Thanks

I have the NUC5i5 RYH with a Acer K272HUL 27" display.
When I connect to NUC to the display with a mini-DP to DP it works great, full resolution, except when the NUC is put to sleep it restarts!
When I connect the NUC via mini-DP to hdmi, but 1080p only, sleep works fine. One other thing with HDMI is during clover boot screen it is 1440 not 1080, but it is boots into the desktop its 1080.
Same thing happens with a mini-hdmi to hdmi.
When I connect it to a regular 1080 monitor via hdmi it works perfect.

I have both correct CPU and GPU ssdts.
I do have dual boot setup on this, just like in the guide.

Here is my clover config

rammo, there would be a lot of people interested in this. Do you have a GitHub link or something to share, even before it's completely working?
