IntelBluetoothFirmware

IntelBluetoothFirmware is a Kernel Extension that uploads Intel Wireless Bluetooth Firmware to provide native Bluetooth in macOS. The firmware binary files are com from the Linux Open Source Project.

After a few months of public testing, it seems like this Kext works well and stable. Currently it supports macOS 10.13 or higher, supported device ids are:

  • 0x8087, 0x0a2a
  • 0x8087, 0x07dc
  • 0x8087, 0x0aa7
  • 0x8087, 0x0025
  • 0x8087, 0x0aaa
  • 0x8087, 0x0026
  • 0x8087, 0x0029
  • 0x8087, 0x0a2b

Installation

Download the latest release, inject the Kext files into the Bootloader and then restart.

Do not inject the Kext files to /Library/Extensions or /System/Library/Extensions as it may likely freeze the system.

  • IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext

    Driver to upload the firmware.

  • IntelBluetoothInjector.kext

    Dummy Kext to enable open/close switch on the Bluetooth settings panel, not necessary to install.

Troubleshooting

In case there is something wrong with the driver, please run the following command in Terminal:

log show --last boot | grep IntelFirmware

Save the driver logs, send it to me by opening an issue. If there are no logs, you should probably check your Bootloader, USB, BIOS, etc.
