Gumstix patches for OS X.tar.gz

I'll be folding these patches into the SVN buildroot, but a few have asked about getting things working on OSX, so in the meantime, here's something from Edward Wei.

Has anyone found the right drivers to let you use USB to connect the gumstix to an OSX Box? The drivers for OS X are what's lacking... I had used a driver for an arm PDA and those were able to recognize the gumstix as an ethernet device... but no actual communication. Any pointers appreciated. |

I've played around with it quite a bit, trying out various things I've found on the web (none of which were very promising), and I've also noticed that OSX seems to actually *have* a CDC Ethernet driver included with it: [craig@pookah:~]$ locate CDCEt /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ AppleUSBCDCEthernet.kext But I can't figure out where the USB device registration tables are in OSX, which would tell the OS to use that CDC driver for a particular USB device that might be plugged into the mac... I figure somewhere there's got to be a file which says "When you see USB device number xyz then load driver abc", akin to the linux hotplug stuff. I've tried using kextload to just load the driver into memory, in case it'd then register itself appropriately or something, but it appears not to. Haven't gone so far as to actually contact Apple yet, but I think Gordon's buddies with the CTO over there, so maybe I'll try that approach...

Some of this stuff might be useful: http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/~kdurbin/zsync.html C On Sep 6, 2004, at 1:19 PM, Jay wrote: > > > Has anyone found the right drivers to let you use USB to connect the > gumstix to an OSX Box?

http://www.lucid-cake.net/osx_zaurus_usb/index_en.html#N40212 this one looks very promising -- might just need something called a "personality" added to its Info.plist...

Actually, looks like the Apple driver now *does* try to get loaded when you plug in a gumstix. But right now I'm getting an error when it happens: Sep 6 15:03:11 localhost kernel: 0 0 AppleUSBCDC: start - initDevice failed Sep 6 15:03:11 localhost kernel: 0 0 AppleUSBCDCEthernet: start - configureDevice failed Sep 6 15:03:11 localhost kernel: 0 0 AppleUSBCDCDriver: start - configureDevice failed This might be because the experimental board I'm using though -- in the morning I can dig up a "real" gumstix and see how it behaves.
