[papilio-prog on mac osx maverick]

I've updated my last forum post on how to have the programmer and serial port active simultaneously (http://forum.gadgetfactory.net/index.php?/topic/1148-butterflyloader-on-macosx/?p=17129). This thread looks a bit old so I assume OP may not care anymore, but I'm posting here in the hopes that it'll will help anyone who lands here from google.

(I'm the same as Guest_vtjnash from the old system)

 

Update for 10.10 Yosemite:

 

Apple now includes the FTDI driver with the OS, so downloading the driver separately is not required. However, the file to update is slightly different because of this.

 

In /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBFTDI.kext/Contents/Info.plist

comment out or remove the section "<key>AppleUSBEFTDI-6010-0</key><dict>...</dict>"

 

Then run:

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

so the system will rebuild the kernel cache (to pick up the changes on the next reboot), and run

kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBFTDI.kextkextload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBFTDI.kext

to pick up the changes immediately.
