libftd2xx.a for Apple Silicon

<< < (2/2)

CarlMac:
We have been using version 1.4.24 for some time now on the M1 and M1 Pro chips with no problem. Thank you.

However have run into an issue with Apples M1 Max chip and the library not wanting to communicate.  Have you heard anything about this?

FTDI Community:
Hello,

We have not heard of any issues with the M1 Max chip and our D2xx driver.
Maybe there are other FTDI Community users who have already used it?

Can you confirm that you have unloaded the VCP driver?

You could also use D2xxhelper:

https://www.ftdichip.com/old2020/Drivers/D2XX/MacOSX/D2xxHelper_v2.0.0.pkg

If using a device with standard FTDI vendor and product identifiers, install D2xxHelper to prevent mac OS from claiming the device as a serial port (locking out D2XX programs).
This will prevent the device being used with the VCP driver as a standard COM port.

If the VCP Port is claimed then the d2xx interface will not be available.

Best Regards,
FTDI Community
