Hi

I have an identical NUC and I have been running Big Sure and now Monterey for a number of years without any issues

If I build a Venture installer, will your EFI allow me to do a fresh install of Venture ?

deanwhillier commented 1 year ago

You can. I'm typing this from my NUC7i7BNH running Ventura using this EFI installed just a couple days ago – works great so far!. Just make sure you update the serial number etc. with the ones you have been using in your existing setup.

Are you having any issues with Bluetooth devices staying connected after a reboot?

deanwhillier commented 1 year ago

Not so far. I do occasionally loose wifi until a reboot, but no issues with BT.

ithakaa commented 1 year ago

I assume you're running the built in Intel card for WiFi and BT? I've swapped mine out for the Broadcom compatible apple card

The Intel kexts may be causing issues with my setup

Also, how do you find signal strength with BT?

deanwhillier commented 1 year ago

I haven't replaced the stock wifi/bt card so could be.

I have mine sitting near the back of my desk, so pretty close. No signal issues from that distance. 😛

For the Intel kexts, you could go into the config file and set each kext entry's 'enabled' property to false to see if that does anything. Just keep a bootable usb stick with the unmodified setup handy in case.

Hey, did you guys manage to make "Sleep" work in Ventura/Sonoma? I'm pulling my hair out, but the NUC doesn't enter S3-Sleep ever. Not even for a second... If you managed to make sleep work, could anybody share the EFI-Folder? Best Regards Richard
