Support Forum » cu.PL2303-0000211A Not showing up on Mac
December 29, 2012 by ztechguy |
Hi, Just installed all the drivers for the Nerdkit on my Mac, but when I list the files in /dev, cu.PL2303-0000211A is not showing up and my nerd kit is plugged in and it is in programming mode. Please post any help. -ztechguy |

I'd re-install the drivers, make sure you have the latest. Ralph |

I just tried to reinstall the drivers on another machine running the latest version of OS X (10.8.2) and the drivers. Any other suggestions I should try? -ztechguy |

EDIT: Just installed this driver: http://changux.co/osx-installer-to-pl2303-serial-usb-on-osx-lio and it showed up! My only problem now is that when I try to execute the "make" command, it gives me this error message avrdude -c avr109 -p m168 -b 115200 -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -U flash:w:initialload.hex:a avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyUSB0": No such file or directory make: *** [initialload-upload] Error 1 |

hi ztechguy... i'm new at this but on my mac i finally found a file called cu.usbserial... when i pasted '/dev/cu.usbserial' at the end of the line starting with 'AVRDUDEFLAGS' in my project's makefiles my mac and my nerdkit communicate... if that works for you you will see a new unconfigured usb-serial device in your System Preferences/Network... i just did a quick check but i stupidly didn't take notes on where i found cu.usbserial... i remember using the Terminal and i think i started in the /usr directory... but i wasn't able to find it just now... let me know what you discover... keith |

ztechguy - I copied this from the NK guide (pg 42)...
Hope it helps. |

Does not work for the newest version of OS X You have to use /dev/cu.usbserial as is noted in a lot of threads here in the Nerdkit forum. One of the business challenges of doing a business like Nerdkits is updating web pages, it never seems to be worth the effort. Everybody who originated the site has moved on to "greater" responsibilities so it is no longer their problem. Ralph |

ztechguy... please disregard my incoherent post above. here's what i was trying to say: Ralph is correct... i'm running a macbook air osx 10.8.2... i downloaded and installed Crosspack-AVR-20121207 (http://www.obdev.at/products/crosspack/download.html) to replace the AVRMacPack from nerdkits... after i did that i found cu.usbserial and tty.usbserial in the /dev directory... i went with /dev/cu.usbserial and my makefiles work... i've never tried /dev/tty.usbserial but it may work also... hope this helps and happy new year! |

Ralph, is that "official"? What I mean is, did you contact Humberto and Mike by e-mail and got that response from them? Or is it a general observation on your part? |
December 31, 2012 by Ralphxyz |
Just general observations, I have seen it happen on numerous forums and web sites. Even though it helps to pay the bills it is just never worth the effort. I also have been a so called web master in charge of a web site and I was surprised how low on the list updating the web site was. There was always something new that took priority. They are a couple of issues with the Nerdkit's download. The current OS X driver The ToolChain Is there others? Ralph |
