FTDI devices on OSX do not support simultaneous use of VCP (virtual com port) and the JTAG access port. The suggested fix from the FTDI device user guide is to remove the FTDI VCP driver.

To remove the drivers from Mac OS X, you must be logged on as ‘root’ or use ‘sudo’ for temporary root privileges.

Start a Terminal session (Go >: Applications > Utilities > TerminalM) and enter the following commands at the command prompt:

Code: Select all

cd /System/Library/Extensionsrm -r FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kextcd /Library/Receiptsrm -r ftdiusbserialdriver.pkgrm -r ftdiusbserialdriverinstallerPostflight.pkgrm -r ftdiusbserialdriverinstallerPreflight.pkg

 

Or:

Code: Select all

cd /System/Library/Extensionssudo rm -r FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kextcd /Library/Receiptssudo rm -r ftdiusbserialdriver.pkgsudo rm -r ftdiusbserialdriverinstallerPostflight.pkgsudo rm -r ftdiusbserialdriverinstallerPreflight.pkg

 

The driver will then be removed from the system.
