howeird Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hi...first time user, old Unix hack from long ago...some knowledge... 😉 I am trying to setup my O.MG Cable out of the box, and following the guide here: https://github.com/O-MG/O.MG_Cable-Firmware/wiki I have attempted using each of the three flashers, with same results. It seems like it does not see the USBtoUART device, even though it appears listed in /dev howard@imac /dev % ls -l tty.* crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel  18,  2 Aug 9 01:49 tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel  18,  0 Aug 9 02:43 tty.SLAB_USBtoUART crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel  18,  4 Aug 9 01:58 tty.usbserial-0001 I removed the device and confirmed the devices are not present. Here is the output of the scripts:  <<< ALL FIRMWARE FILES LOCATED >>> <<< PROBING OSX DEVICES FOR O.MG-CABLE-PROGRAMMER >>> esptool.py v2.6 Serial port /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART Connecting........_____....._____....._____....._____....._____....._____....._____ esptool.py v2.6 Serial port /dev/cu.usbserial-0001 <<< O.MG-CABLE-PROGRAMMER WAS NOT FOUND IN DEVICES, YOU MAY NEED TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS FOR CP210X USB BRIDGE >>> VISIT: [ https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers ] I did confirm that I have Python 3.8x installed, and updated it's pip: howard@imac /dev % python3 -m pip --version pip 20.2.1 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8) From what I can tell, it either can't find the device, or it is looking for the wrong one...help? Thanks in advance...looking forward to stumbling my way through a bunch of Hak5 tools over the next few days, so any pointers greatly appreciated! H   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irukandji Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Have you tried?. system_profiler SPUSBDataType To see if there. I'm a little bit rusty with the mac os. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howeird Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Thanks for noodling on this... and yes I checked, but I just checked again, and as indicated below, the system has installed the driver, and it is working......is " Location ID: 0x14100000 / 8" a clue? I just wanna see dinosaurs... (ripping that off from here 1994) 😉  CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller:   Product ID: 0xea60  Vendor ID: 0x10c4 (Silicon Laboratories, Inc.)  Version: 1.00  Serial Number: 0001  Speed: Up to 12 Mb/s  Manufacturer: Silicon Labs  Location ID: 0x14100000 / 8  Current Available (mA): 500  Current Required (mA): 100  Extra Operating Current (mA): 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niobe Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Probably a very stupid question but, can you also use the omg cable programmer (usb-a & usb-c), when using a windows laptop or can you only install the omg lightning usb-c cable with a mac?

_MG_ Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 @howeird it looks like you probably just need to powercycle the cable before attempting the next flash. If you don't figure it out, join the Slack server listed in the support section of the setup docs. The hak5 forums are not a place we actively monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
