Sebinouse's Build : CustoMacMini 2014 - Intel NUC Haswell i5-4250U - El Capitan

[Sebinouse]

According Intel's Documentation, our NUC supports :

Multiple DisplayPort and HDMI configurations feature the following:

• Two independent
• Single HDMI 1.4a with 1080P support
• Single DisplayPort 1.2 with 4K support

Single Display HDMI	Single Display DisplayPort	Dual Display DisplayPort and HDMI
1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz	3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz	3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz (DisplayPort) 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz (HDMI)

Note: Higher resolutions may be achievable but have not been tested on Intel NUC.

I also have a 4400-based NUC and having the same problems these two users are having after compiling my own SSDT:

• I do not see a frame buffer in DCPIManager, despite editing my EFI\CLOVER\config.plist (attached)
• I have moved all .AML files to EFI\Clover\ACPI\patched\
• My SSDT-3.aml doesn't even remotely match what bosom posted (all attached). I have no way of editing the buffer values { 0x03, 0x00, 0x22, 0x0d }
• I think have properly setup my BIOS settings (32mb, HDMI default) but I show 5mb in About This Mac

None of these file are from the package of the first post ... I don't know where you get them (SSDTs seem to be genuine from Intel ... for example).

I don't own such a Nuc, I don't even have access to one so I won't investigate further: my advice is to use the file I provide in the first post, edit them to match your hardware (according previous posts), remove the SSDT that injects framebuffer and use the 2 FakePCIID kexts of Rehabman.

Success (so far)!! This worked for me > http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...tel-hd4200-hd4400-hd4600-mobile-yosemite.html

I used the desktop id for HD4400, placed the kexts FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics and FakePCIID in EFI/CLOVER/kexts.

Thanks Sebinouse and RehabMan for the help. Hope the others with the same setup as mine can make it work too.
If something goes wrong I post it here. So far so good.

Now I have to make the audio work, including headphones.

- EDIT -
Ok, sound is working. I reapplied the sound .sh file of post #1. I probably did something wrong the first time.

After graphics fix, ethernet stopped working when Nuc sleep / wake. I switched the AppleIntelE1000e kext with the IntelMausiEthernet (post #59). Problem fixed.

Also, I kept SSDT-3.aml in the EFI partition. If I remove it, graphics glitches appear again.

Sebinouse, thanks again.

Worked for me too. I think I had too many ad-hoc solutions. I wiped the disk, reinstalled OS X, followed the directions from this guide and the one you linked here. Graphics are perfect. The NUC is inside a 20" iMac G4.

Post#2 issue was due to wrong installer.

I would advice to restart from scratch :
1. remove the App from /Applications/ folder
2. download it again from the AppStore
3. format the usb drive : GUID, HFS(+), "USB"
4. use createinstallmedia command (can be veeerry long)
5. install clover on "USB"
6; copy files from latest package (2011 11 01 for the time being)

Still the same problem but I was able to read the error message when starting the installe:

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xfffffff0000326346): "zone-init: kernel_suballoc failed"@/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-3247.18.11/osfak/kern/zalloc.c:2199

Good news for the installer !
Now you seem to have a Clover related kernel panic.

Can you give the precise options you chose for the Clover installer ?

That great !

Do you think you can share your files for this NUC so we can put them in the first post ?

@intopieces : very nice build, very neat ! it really seems like genuine iMac !

View attachment config.plist
View attachment FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext.zip
View attachment FakePCIID.kext.zip

Config.plist was edited with Clover Configurator according to RehabMan's direction. The two KEXTs go in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11

Everything else I did came straight from Page 1.

Of course, here you go:

Config files:
View attachment config.plist
View attachment SSDT.aml
View attachment SSDT-3.aml

Graphics kexts:
View attachment FakePCIID.kext.zip
View attachment FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext.zip

I'm not using SSDT-4.
SSDT-2 is the original from post #1.

Graphics minimum memory in Bios is 32MB, but About this Mac says Intel HD Graphics 4400 1536 MB

@intopieces, really great setup man! Congratulations.
