I am rookie for hackintosh. This might be a silly question.
I had updated BIOS to the latest version (HNKBLi70.86A).
I followed the steps of bios-settings.md and installing-osx.md. I had done those step in bios-settings.md:

  1. change "Portable Device Charging Mode" to OFF
  2. change "Thunderbolt Security Level" to Legacy Mode
  3. uncheck "Secure Boot"

Installing macOS
Insert your newly created USB installer into any USB slot and power on the NUC.
Press F10 at the prompt to get into the boot menu.
Select your USB drive and press enter.
You should see the Clover menu. Select the USB drive.

When I press F10 and enter boot menu, I only see one option which is Windows boot manger. I can not find USB drive or anything else.
Is there any step missing?What should I do?

Thanks

On another OSX machine (or another Hackintosh), download macOS Mojave from the App Store.
Insert your USB drive and open up Terminal.
Open up Disk Utility to format your USB drive:
Find your USB drive in the left sidebar under External (if there are multiple sub-drives under your USB drive, select the top-most one).
Press the "Erase" button on the top toolbar.
Give the name Installer and make sure to select GUID Partition Map as the Scheme.
Press Erase, wait until it completes, and quit Disk Utility.
Open up Terminal and create the installer
Run the following command sudo "/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume /Volumes/Installer and type in your password when prompted.
Wait for the process to complete. This can take around 30 minutes to an hour.
Download the latest build of Clover (you'll want the one that ends with .pkg) and install it to the installer USB drive.
Launch the installer pkg you downloaded.
When prompted, choose Change Install Location... and select your USB drive (it should be named Install macOS Mojave).
Next, click the Customize button.
You'll want to check the following options (you can also install any additional theme, but don't check anything else):
Clover for UEFI booting only
Install Clover in the ESP
UEFI Drivers -> ApfsDriverLoader-64 (for APFS support)
UEFI Drivers -> SMCHelper-64 (for FakeSMC support)
UEFI Drivers -> AptioMemoryFix-64 (for FileVault support)
UEFI Drivers -> HFSPlus (for HFS+ support)
UEFI Drivers -> UsbKbDxe-64 (needed for FileVault support)
FileVault 2 UEFI Drivers -> AppleUISupport-64 (for FileVault support)
Once the installation completes, you should see a new drive named EFI get mounted.
Download the HaC Mini release package and merge the EFI directory into the one on the EFI drive. Replace any existing file (which should just be config.plist).
Safely remove the USB drive.

I had done these steps. Insert the USB drive into nuc and reboot. Press F10 to enter boot menu. No USB driver option to choose.

If you followed all the steps correctly, then your USB may not be compatible. Try another USB. Or even use the SD card slot instead. I couldn't get the NUC to boot from an external HDD for example.

Thanks for reply. I will try to repeat all the steps later today. If not working, I will use another USB driver.

Thanks GUYS!
I repeated to create installer and it was finally working. Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6 is installed.
But the bluetooth is not available in the systems preference. Wifi is working. I had changed wifi card to a BCM94352z.
Does anyone have idea?

Closing as BCM94352z is not a supported configuration of this guide. I would recommend asking on the insanelymac topic or somewhere similar for community support: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339291-guide-hac-mini-osx-mojave-on-intel-hades-canyon-nuc8i7hvknuc8i7hnk/
