2 Getting FTDI Device Drivers Document Reference No.: FT_000201 FTDI Drivers Installation guide for MAC OS X Application Note AN_134 Version 1.4 Clearance No.: FTDI# 123 FTDI drivers may be obtained from the FTDI website. There are two types of driver: VCP (Virtual COM Port) and D2XX (direct access). 2.1 Getting VCP VCP creates a virtual com port on the MAC and allows applications that use the POSIX programming interface to communicate with the device. This is effectively the same us using a legacy com port. The download is a Disk Image (dmg) file at: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm Download the version relevant to your OS version. Clicking the weblink starts a download. Inside the FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_18.dmg there are 2 package files: FTDIUSBSerialDriver_10_3.mpkg which is specific to OS X 10.3 (Panther) FTDIUSBSerialDriver_10_4_10_5_10_6_10_7.mpkg which is specific to OS X 10.4 (Tiger), OS X 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Inside the FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_3.dmg there is 1 package file: FTDIUSBSerial.pkg is suitable for OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and later. 2.2 Getting D2XX D2xx uses FTDI’s programming interface to access advanced features of the chips. The download is a Disk Image (dmg) file at http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm The current version at the time of writing (version 1.2.2) covers all versions of OS X from 10.4 onwards.
