![]() It works with my Win - laptop and my (office) iMac (with an USB extender), but only when using the “Parallels” Win XP. I’ve adapted the electronics of that device (stripped the internal RS232 to TTL converter electronics for the uP, added the the USB socket and USB-TTL conversion with FT232R) to connect to modern computers. I’d send a (serial) “request” and the device will answer accordingly, e.g. The device is a test equipment with a serial port, originally RS232 (+/- 9V, DB-25). Nope, not visible in Finder or Disk Utility, it’s not a drive, it won’t reply without a command. I’ve tried again and again, there is no FTDI or USBSerial device listed in /dev when I plug it in or switch it back from Win - I guess because the (OS X) driver isn’t correctly installed? The installer always tells me “success” but I still can’t see the driver /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext (should it be there?) and the device isn’t accessible from OS X. I have also disabled (renamed) the AppleUSBFTDI.kext, restarted and installed the FTDI driver (version 2.3, signed by Apple). ![]() In OS X it seems to be unknown, however, the USB Device Tree reports the FT232R USB UART correctly with Product ID and Vendor ID from FTDI.īut I want to get rid of the Win (VM) solution and installed the FTDI driver for Mac, didn’t work. Using an old Windows (in a Parallels VM on the same Mac) I could (and still can) access the device, switch it back and forth between OS X and Win, and send commands to it using a terminal SW. QuickTerm didn’t list it, only the Bluetooth Port + Modem). I’m on Mavericks (10.9.5) and fighting with a USB device with a “FT232R” chip (from FTDI) for USB to serial conversion.
