mmm well its sort of a convinient temporary solution. mac > pc...I woudl love to see the OSX build come to fruition with a supported driver. keep up the good work

 

Well, you _can_ make it work under parallels too. The driver doesn't like virtual environments thought and it required more than passing knowlodge of how USB devices work in order to make it init correctly.

Yes. I'd be interested. I just need to finish my other committments first.

Regarding some of the other comments - I think that you ideally want to expose D2XX functionality. Through a VCP port you can get basic functionality (RTS to toggle UART between K & L, DTR to control the alternate, etc.), but D2XX gives some controls that might not otherwise be available. For example, I believe that on the 1.3 cable some voltage controls are on some GPIO pins on the FTDI chip.

I probably would be running linux on my laptop if I knew all the software for flashing and logging was working. I don't particularly care for windoze but being my job is primarily developing and analyzing data for the Wintel platform, I'm stuck immersed in it.

 

Well it seems that interest in this is rekindled for real. I took a few hours this morning and wrote a simple psuedo device driver for OS X. I have to say, the IOKit is pretty easy to work with -- although I've long avoided it in my userspace applications.

At the moment, my version of XCode needs a major update. I could take up to day to download the update over my slow home connection. We're snowed in AGAIN here in New Mexico, so I can't get to the nice OC3 in my office.

Running bootcamp with the Intel macbooks/mac book pros, are they quick enough to flash/ecuscan??

 

jordo---donour says bootcamp and windows with the tactics cable works for hm just fine, but its still windows wich is the bummer. check out post 15

 

yes i saw that post, right now i got my vitrual pc + windows xp to work with ecuflash, but its to slow for evoscan

 

Out of curiosity is it any faster with Mitsulogger? I suspect its something to do with .NET

 

It is very easy. At least for stuff like this. But, again, I'd be glad to kick in some time next month if you run into any snags. Or just PM me if you have specific questions or snags.

Well according to this, there is a very early D2xx build available for Mac.

EDIT: simple tests indicate that it works too.

EDIT2: simple tests like

--
[donour@ychmhn ~/src/D2XX/Samples/SetVIDPID]$ ./setVIDPID
Device 0 Serial Number - OpenPort 1.3 Mitsubishi

Well, if you just want to log you can use libmut. It's retardedly fast and you don't need VPC.

where can i download that?

fascinating. i don't know jack about this but have always wondered if i could use ECUFlash somehow on a Macbook Pro since I want to buy one and don't want to buy a old, cheap POS PClaptop just for tuning. I was wondering about Parallels too, but it is not very reliable/stable?
