[Guide] Intel Kaby Lake NUC7 using Clover UEFI (NUC7i7BNH, NUC7i5BNK, NUC7i3BNH, etc)

[Higgins12]

Yes it works with 4k@60 I only get sound not working. With the Skylake Spoof it crashes every minute.

Also Bluetooth acts somewhat weird. I have to pull out the Bluetooth stick and back in to get it working. Network takes about 30 seconds to assign a real IP. Maybe I fu*ked up the config.plist due to my own edits. But no Idea where and how.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

You need to attach "Problem Reporting" files. Impossible to analyze any report without them.

Also Bluetooth acts somewhat weird. I have to pull out the Bluetooth stick and back in to get it working. Network takes about 30 seconds to assign a real IP. Maybe I fu*ked up the config.plist due to my own edits. But no Idea where and how.

Again, no problem reporting files, no idea.

Attached the files again.

Attached the files again.

Your config.plist is corrupt.
Read post #1, "Final config.plist".

Sorry should have clarified: looking for the exact make & model of adapter or cable.

I'm using this AUKEY USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter with the DisplayPort Cable that shipped with my monitor (LG 27UD69-W).

I can't get it done. It literally doesn't matter what I put in config.plist for ig-platform-id I can put 0x19160000 or 0x59120000 it always boots, always has the right Display Resolution, always 4k@60 BUT when I put the SSDT patches in place (SSDT-NUC7.aml SSDT-DisableDA.aml) all I get after booting is a black screen. Do I delete the SSDT again, all boots ok. No sound though.

Guess I'm doing something wrong but can't find out what.

@TheAlpa could you maybe provide me with your clover Folder? As we have almost the same NUC (NUC7i5)

The config.plist used for post-install does not allow you to set ig-platform-id within the plist.
The ig-platform-id is injected via ACPI (in SSDT-NUC7.aml) instead.
Post install uses a different config.plist from install. (for the installer, there is no SSDT-NUC7.aml, so you can set the ig-platform-id with the plist).
Your ioreg proves you are not booting from the CLOVER.zip you attached.
If you want to experiment with different ig-platform-id values, you must do that within the SSDT-NUC7.aml (or better to change it in SSDT-IGPU.dsl).
Suggest: Disabling hdmi/dp audio by enabling SSDT-DisableDA.aml (just to eliminate that variable). And use a non-4k monitor (again, to eliminate the 4k variable).

Is your BIOS up-to-date?

 

[Higgins12]

Ok, thanks for your recommendations... I will toy with it tomorrow. Yes BIOS is up to date.

Also, please update your profile/signature to include information on your NUC.
Currently, no idea which NUC you have, nor even if you have one (profile only indicates Asus STrix 270F Gaming).

 

[Higgins12]

Well ... I did as advised. Changed 0x59260000 to 0x59260002 for the Iris Pro 640 within SSDT-IGPU.dsl and rebuild the SSDT Files again, put them in Place. Reboot .. voila. All works now. 4k@60, Sound, Bluetooth. Network still takes a while to connect but will figure it out eventually. Thanks a lot for your help.
