[Guide] Intel NUC7/NUC8 using Clover UEFI (NUC7i7Bxx,NUC8i7Bxx,etc)

[moridinn]

Hi,
Finally got my NUC7i7BNH build working.

I've been scrolling through all the previous pages but haven't found anyone suggest a working USB Bluetooth dongle for this system? I'd like to get a bluetooth keyboard working.

Could you please share your config.plist and everything else (bios rev.?) that matters in getting NUC7i7BNH working correctly?

EDIT: or, reading other posts, it would be super helpful if you could provide the EFI folder contents, TIA.

Hello, has anyone had an issue where HDMI audio stops working on reboot? Every time I reboot, I have to unplug and replug my HDMI cable (to the TV) to get HDMI audio working. I noticed the RehabMan script installed the kexts in both Clover and Library/Extensions, so I tried removing them from Clover and leaving them in Library/Extensions, but no difference here.

Which board has such issue? My 8i7BEH works flawless no matter which port use as output - hdmi or USB-C

Sorry for asking, but may be you could share your EFI folder?

Yep, here it is. Sometimes, I will get intermittent audio that cuts out during playback. As said, I removed the kexts from kexts/Other/ directory so you won't find any there. If you have a possible lead on why my HDMI audio keeps getting borked, that'd be great.

Also, here's the list of kexts that were installed into Library/Extensions:

AppleALC
AirportBrcmFixUp
BrcmFirwmareRepo
BrcmNonPatchRam
BrcmPatchRam2
BT4LEContinuityFixup
CodecCommander
FakePCIID & FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio
FakeSMC
IntelMausiEthernet
Lilu
LiluFriend
NullEthernet
SATA-unsupported
XHCI-unsupported
USBInjectAll
WhateverGreen

Thanks a lot! With this I was able to actually install and run it for first time ever, so I fear I'm not much help with the audio problems at the moment, though I intend to look into setting up my NUC properly.

Hi guys,
this is the most perfect solution for nuc8s to use apple BCM94360CS2(or BCM942602CS) wireless card . wifi , bluetooth,air drop all works fine..

this is RTS5227S (use pcie x1)chipset for SD card which will be replaced.

replace the chipset with Panasonic connector ( AXK820145WG 0.4MM 20P)

the pcb adapter for apple wireless card

Bingo!!!

This pcb adapter is designed by a chinese guy(Electronic enthusiast,math teacher & financial accountant，ha-ha).
people in china can buy it through taobao(an online shop like Amazon）
