There are several options for connecting to an FTDI device from a Mac, depending on OS version and driver choice. Some of the techniques have been covered in other stackoverflow questions. One technique has not yet been covered (as far as I can tell), so I'm hoping someone can help with this last technique. The current options for connecting are as follows:.

(pre-Mavericks only) Include the.dylib and header files from the FTDI driver directly in your Xcode project (no driver installation needed), as described in. This technique breaks under OSX Mavericks and later. (Mavericks & later) Use the pre-installed. It's poorly documented, and seems a lot harder to use than the. This technique won't work if you wish to support pre-Mavericks operating systems.

The drive comes preformatted in HFS+ for Mac and works out of the box; simply plug the drive in and begin transferring your files.

(Mavericks & later), and then use technique #1, above. Not a good option if you plan on distributing your app to non-tech-savvy customers. Also, it's not a permanent solution for Mavericks+ as the kext will have a tendency to re-appear. (Any mac version) Implement a codeless kext, that will have a higher match priority than the Apple's kext, thus, preventing Apple's driver from hijacking the connection to your device. Then use technique #1, above. This is one of the techniques suggested by and by the comments in. It's meant to be used for apps that use a custom connection solution, but it also works for those who just want to include FTDI's dylib and headers directly in their projects.

(Any mac version) Install the original (as opposed to simply referencing the.dylib and headers in your project). This is, obviously, harder than technique #1, especially when it comes to building an installer for your app, but it has the benefit of working on any Mac version. Also, like #4, it is a technique supported. Techniques 1-4 have been covered in other Stackoverflow questions (as noted inline). I'm trying to figure out how to do #5. According to the ReadMe that comes with the, 'installing' simply means plopping the.dylib in the /usr/local/lib/ directory and the.h files in the /usr/local/lib/ directory.

I've been able to get this technique to work, but ONLY if I also unload Apple's kext. However, according to Apple's documentation, I shouldn't need to unload Apple's kext when using this technique. From: 'the Apple driver intentionally sets a lesser probe score match to ensure that the FTDI Interface driver matches, when present' So, apparently, 'install the FTDI driver' means something different to Apple than it means to FTDI. Does anyone know how to 'install the FTDI driver' in the way that Apple's documentation intends, such that it will have a 'higher probe score match' than Apple's kext and, thus, will not require me to unload Apple's kext?

Does anyone know how to 'install the FTDI driver' in the way that Apple's documentation intends, such that it will have a 'higher probe score match' than Apple's kext and, thus, will not require me to unload Apple's kext? The 'driver' being referred to here is the VCP kernel extension provided by FTDI, not the D2XX drivers. Installing that won't solve your problem, though; it'll just make the device get grabbed by FTDI's drivers instead of Apple's. If you want to access an FTDI device directly on Mac OS X, your best bet is to set the VID/PID of your device to values which are not captured by either Apple's or FTDI's drivers. You can accomplish this using on Windows, or on Mac OS X or Linux. (Note that this requires direct access to the FTDI device as well, so you will need to temporarily unload the kernel extensions to reprogram the VID/PID the first time on Mac OS X.).

Weasner's Astronomy and Intel Macs Page ASTRONOMY AND INTEL-BASED MAC SYSTEMS Last updated: 20 February 2008 20 Feb 08 Mike here: After purchasing an Apple MacBook Pro 2.6GHz laptop in January 2008 I wanted to try out. After some initial installation issues that Parallels Technical Support was finally able to resolve, I now have Windows XP running in a Window on my Mac. I was able to convert my Microsoft Virtual PC 7 WinXP disk image to Parallels so I avoided having to get and install a new copy of Windows (which I would probably not have done).

After verifying that Windows applications and Internet connectivity work in Parallels, I proceeded to try out Meade's mySKY Update, AutoStar Suite, and the AutoStar Update applications. As I noted in my, I was unable to get Windows XP in Virtual PC to reliably recognize the mySKY memory card using my USB card reader. I tried to use the same USB card reader with Parallels Desktop 3.0 (build 5584; the latest as of this writing). Unfortunately, WinXP does not see the storage card and selecting USB-USB Storage Device from the Devices menu locks up Parallels. Since the Mac OS X side sees the card reliably I can only assume that either the card reader is incompatible with Windows or something about the PC emulation in Virtual PC or the current Parallels software prevents it from being used. So 'no go' on updating the mySKY card with Parallels (at this point).

I started to install the Mac OS X Universal Binary version of the Keyspan USB-serial adapter driver but a warning in its installation information said I would have to uninstall it to use Windows with the Keyspan and to install the Windows driver in Parallels. So I elected to not install the Mac driver. However, when I went to the Keyspan web site to download a Windows driver, only Mac OS X drivers appeared (even though I was using Internet Explorer in WinXP in Parallels). So I submitted a tech support query. They responded the next day and said there was no Windows driver for my model (28XB). So I elected to install on the Mac side and see if Parallels could pass the serial communications through (like Virtual PC did). The Parallels application does see the Keyspan adapter, as seen by this screen shot showing the Devices menu.

Windows detected the new hardware and wanted to get software for it. But since there is no Windows software for this model adapter I cancelled that. So, without a driver, AutoStar Suite and the AutoStar Update application would not see the Comm Ports as supplied by the Keyspan adapter. After installing the Keyspan software on the Mac OS X side, the Mac side sees it just fine (like with the card reader) so I can still use to update the AutoStar. WinXP in Parallels does not see the 'serial ports' supplied by Mac driver. As you can see in the next screen shot, AutoStar Suite does run. Here is the Sky Map as seen in Parallels: It seemed as though the basic functionality of the AutoStar Suite Astronomer Edition worked fine.

(I haven't yet tested my LPI with Parallels.) In my brief testing I can say that Windows apps do run, and run very nicely and very fast (way faster than in Virtual PC on my 1GHz PowerBook G4) on this 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. It looks like astronomy applications (that don't need a serial port) should work just fine. I will test some as the need arises and report back. End of today's update Subject: Virtual Machine Update Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 11:13:01 From: Charles Burton (cburton@access4less.net) I recently purchased an Intel-based iMac (24' Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz) running Tiger 10.4.9 to replace my Windows machines (great decision).

As part of the purchase, I obtained Parallels Build 3188 and loaded WinXP Pro SP 2 under Parallels. Today, I updated my ETX-90/Autostar 497 using that system. I downloaded ASU 4.6 and ROM Build 43Eg using the iMac to the Parallels Shared Folder, installed ASU 4.6 in WinXP, put the Build into the Ephemeris folder, started ASU, and performed an Update (locally). The ROM upgrade did take some time (20-30 minutes).

The upgrade completed successfully and the retrieval of the handbox information also completed successfully. My hardware setup was: Cables Unlimited USB 2.0 to Serial DB9 Adapter (USB-2920) My homemade 505 cable assembly I should point out that I was unable to get the Cables Unlimited supplied driver to work on my iMac (not Universal I suspect). I discovered that the chip used in the Cables Unlimited adapter was an FTDI chip (FT8U2XX) based on the driver properties information, so I went to the FTDI site.

This site has drivers for many devices and operating systems. I downloaded their most recent Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger driver (Ver. 2.2.7) for the FT8U2XX chip and installed it. Once I installed the new driver on the iMac, I was able to talk to my Garmin GPS (via Tiger OS X and through Parallels/WinXP) and to the Autostar.

Thus, my hardware and software setup seems to work. Regards, Chuck Burton Go back to the. Go back to the. Copyright ©2007,8 Michael L. Weasner / Submittal Copyright © 2007 by the Submitter URL = http://www.weasner.com/etx/mac/parallels.html.
