[Guide] Intel Broadwell NUC5 using Clover UEFI (NUC5i5MHYE, NUC5i3MYHE, etc)

[RehabMan]

Yes, I know and it seems the BT device's batteries are heavily drained, but i wanted to give a try to see by myself.
So if someone could explain how to activate the NUC5i7RYH Intel's BT on macOS... It would be great.

My understanding: If you boot into Windows, it will load firmware for the device (provided you have the device drivers for it installed). Then you can restart into macOS and bluetooth will work (firmware survives a warm boot).

It was my understanding as well, but it don't works.
It's working great on Win10 and the Device Manager seems OK, so I guess Win drivers are installed...

Do you see the bluetooth controller in System Information -> USB?

I'm not near the NUC right now, but if I remember well, I haven't seen any BT entries anywhere in System Information.

Hi Rehabman,
Here's my report...
Thank you.

The bluetooth controller on my NUC was at HS08. Nothing there on yours...
Boot with kernel flag -uia_ignore_rmcf and see if it shows up somewhere else. Reply with ioreg.

It is detected now.

Edit: and it's working fine with my magic mouse...

It is on HS07 on your NUC for some reason.
I will try enabling HS07 on my NUC to see if it causes any problems.
You can enable HS07 by adding the port to SSDT-USB.dsl.
