Not sure which one he bought - we're working on determining that but it looks different than many of the cables on Amazon (including mine) that have an indented silver plate with the BaoFeng name inside. I did install the driver with the radio and the working cable attached to the Mac - not sure if that makes a difference but before the driver install I did see USB Serial Driver in the USB System Information panel - a good sign but not sufficient to get the port to show up on Chrip - that took a driver that got the interface into /dev. I could not get the serial interface (cu.xxx) into the /dev location until I used the driver for the latest Mac OS (Sierra, not High Sierra) from here. I tried two other drivers without obtaining complete install success, including uninstalls. Oh what fun serial drivers on Macs for Chinese hardware is.įor me, a combination of a different serial cable my brother bought with his "version" of the UV-5R plus the Plugable site was the trick. I am assuming the problem is somehow related to the FTDIUSBSerialDriver KEXT not loading, could that be correct? Does CHIRP cause the load to occur? I've tried all of these and the bluetooth "does not respond" and the other two are "busy". I have tried installing the driver twice (second time no authentication needed.) Nothing changes when I plug in the USB cable, (turn on the UV-5R after plugging in).ĬHIRP does not show the usbserial as a port, it only shows dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port, /dev/cu.lolita-SPPDev, /dev/cu.lolita-SPPDev-1 ports. I don't have cu.usbserial-xxxxxx in the /dev directory. I see the FTDIUSBSerialDriver Extension listed in System Info as an Identified Developer but it is not loaded. Authenticated and I see the VCP KEXT in my /Library/Extensions directory. Installed latest CHIRP (daily 20171228) and Python runtime (CHIRP launches), then installed the current VCP driver (2.4.2). I run on iMac (2011) with latest Mac OS 10.13.2. Just purchased BaoFeng UV-5R ( ) that comes with what I think is the official BaoFeng USB connector.
