Usb Console Cable With Ftdi Chip, Unilike 6 Foot/1.8 Meter Cisco Console Cable Ftdi Usb To Rj45 Cable for Windows 10, 8, 7 Vista Mac Linux 4.9 out of 5 stars 17. VANDESAIL USB Console Cable with Fidi Chip 1.8m, Cisco RJ45 to USB Cable, for Laptop and PC in Windows, Vista, Mac, Linux. EZSync FTDI chip usb to 5v TTL UART serial cable, wire end, 1.5m, TTL-232R-5V-WEEvery EZSync cable is built to last for years with high quality industrial grade materials. The cable works with all Windows and Mac OS versions including the latest Windows 10 and Mac OS X 10.10(Yosemite) and 10.11(EI Capitan). I’m on Mavericks (10.9.5) and fighting with a USB device with a “FT232R” chip (from FTDI) for USB to serial conversion. It was not accessible in OS X (e.g. QuickTerm didn’t list it, only the Bluetooth Port + Modem). 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. 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. But I want to get rid of the Win (VM) solution and installed the FTDI driver for Mac, didn’t work. As suggested by FTDI for Mavericks [ ] I have also disabled (renamed) the AppleUSBFTDI.kext, restarted and installed the FTDI driver (version 2.3, signed by Apple). 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’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? Could someone help, please? (I have little knowledge in OS X). Thanks for attention! Nope, not visible in Finder or Disk Utility, it’s not a drive, it won’t reply without a command. The device is a test equipment with a serial port, originally RS232 (+/- 9V, DB-25). I’d send a (serial) “request” and the device will answer accordingly, e.g. Transmit status info or accept commands. 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. It works with my Win - laptop and my (office) iMac (with an USB extender), but only when using the “Parallels” Win XP. When I plug it into the iMac the VM automatically jumps in: “FT232 USB UART, new device detected, connect it to Mac or Win XP?”. Now I select “Mac” but nothing happens in OS X. In the VM under “Devices” I can see the FT232 UART but connected to the Mac, and it’s not accessible in Win XP. However, when I select the device from the VM “Devices” menu the VM tells me “FT232 UART is now connected to the Win XP” and I can send commands and receive statements from the test equipment. Minitab. I also can hand it back to OS X but it's not recognized there. Also when the Parallels VM isn’t running the USBSerial doesn’t show up in /dev when I plug it in. PS: This sounds similar with Yosemite (although my device definitely has an original FT232RQ chip). You can check if the extension was installed correctly with `kextstat| grep FTDI` and it should show some information indicating that a kernel extension with designator com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver is loaded. From the sound of it, I don't think you need the DxxHelper; I don't remember ever using anything like that. I sometimes have similar problems, usually because the device was closed or disconnected wrongly, and the FTDI driver will fail to load any more devices until I restart the computer. I don't have much more to offer beyond that, though. I have every symptom that the original poster mentions except I am using mac ox sierra 10.12.3. I am using parallels running a windows 10 VM and the FTDI device that I'm using works fine there. Can anyone shed light on this issue?? It seems that something changed in a mac os x update that causes a change in how FTDI devices must be configured. It would be really nice to not require a windows 10 VM to get access to an FTDI USB to serial device. To answer one if your initial questions about the difference between two of the folders for kernel extensions, I did find this from the kextload man pages. FILES /System/Library/Extensions/ The standard system repository of kernel extensions /Library/Extensions/ The standard repository of non Apple kernel extensions.
