Intro

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

After several months of public testing, it appears that the Kext is working well and stable.

  • IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext

    Driver to upload the firmware.

  • IntelBluetoothInjector.kext

    Codeless Kext that enables On/Off 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.
