Intel NUC7i5BNH Success on Mojave with OpenCore

Intel NUC7i5BNH

Finally got this working after many issues with Clover and finally tried OpenCore. I've been poking at this for the last few weeks here and there when I had a few mins to spare. OpenCore is a lot cleaner, but more work. I wound up using someone's EFI/kext from the tonymacx86 forums someone on this sub linked (I'll link if anyone is curious). It was a PITA to get proper USB drives (physically). I wound up ordering a few off Amazon because the old crusty ones I was using were from 1999 and way too slow. I wound up ordering a new m.2 ssd (500gb) while I was at it. The only problem I have is the NUC won't boot from the installed disk, only the USB drive. I guess I'll try copying the EFI to the installed disk tomorrow. Pretty darn excited that it's actually working.

Don't hurt me automod:

  • CPU: Intel i5 (2017)
  • GPU: Intel Iris something or other
  • RAM: 32GB (2x 16GB)
  • Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model: Intel...nuc?
  • Audio Codec: Don't have speakers
  • Ethernet Card: Intel something or other. Haven't checked this part yet
  • Wifi/BT Card: Haven't worked on this yet
  • Touchpad and touch display devices: None
  • BIOS revision: Ohh...59+?
  • Which of the guides on the sidebar you used: Failed with the RehabMan's guide, but got it to boot to a fuzzy tv screen. I used Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide with some linked EFIs/kexts from a dirty repo (just kidding, but they totally worked)
  • What's working, and what isn't working.

    • NOT Working:
      • Booting with the the USB - I guess I need to copy the efi folder to the root EFI on my installed disk?
      • Bluetooth
      • WiFi
      • Sound I'm guessing
    • Working:
      • Booting from the OpenCore USB into my internal disk
      • suspend/resume
      • USBs

edit: a word
