Hello, I have a question regarding the internal headers for my NUC6i7KYK.
I've been running High Sierra on it successfully for about a year and a half with no issues (many thanks for your guide!), but I've decided to disassemble the unit and place it in an iMac G4 globe with the screen removed for a project.
So far, I've got everything to fit perfectly, but I chose to use a USB 3.0 header cable with 2 USB ports on it (
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JTEZUFM) to internalize the WiFi and Bluetooth dongles. I'm also using the 2.0 header (
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JTEZQRY/) and used this to feed the power switch to the native power button.
With everything mostly put in place, I decided to start the machine. External power switch works, macOS boots, but then the WiFi and Bluetooth don't show up. Upon re-reading the guide, I've seen that these headers have not been tested, and upon inspecting
SSDT-USB.dsl I noticed that the headers are disabled. I've also booted into a Windows environment, and can confirm that devices plugged into the ports provided by these headers work.
All that said, my question is: If I were to use the newly-added USBs for this purpose, how might I go about modifying the DSDT/SSDT to work with it? They seem to have power (I have a small USB book light, which lights up as soon as it's plugged in), but no data. I may even use the other USB 2.0 ports for some other purposes, so I'd like to enable those as well.
Thank you!
EDIT: I actually ended up figuring this out. I re-followed the guide starting at
Post Installation and using "~/Projects2" instead. Before using the "make" command, I modified the SSDT-USB.dsl file and added the lines for HS05 & HS06, following the same principles as the USB ports above it. Afterwards, followed the guide the rest of the way (building and installing) and restarted my machine. I now have "internal" WiFi and Bluetooth! Super simple, I thought about trying this last night but felt like that may not be the right choice without at least getting some consultation first. Ended up just trying it anyway, very pleased with the results. Thank you again for this wonderful guide. These machines are great, but so much better with macOS.
