PinheadX Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 So, last week I used Wineskin on the Mac to wrap Escribe up into a working Mac app and it seems to work as far as the functionality of the software. However, there is no communication with the chip in Mac OS X.Pic proof: https://i.imgur.com/IEU9vMm.jpgI believe if we just had drivers for the board, we could use this as a viable solution without having to run the software in a VM or install Windows (Bootcamp) on our machines.Any chance of this happening?

DannyK9 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Same issue I had software works in Wine but doesn't communicate. Ended up bootcamping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinheadX Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yup. Bootcamp is a solution, but not necessarily the best one. I'd love to not have 30 gigs of HD space taken up just to run one program, when if there were drivers, it'd be more like 70MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridgedog Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 For me the best solution is VirtualBox for pre El Capitan or VM fusion for El Capitan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinheadX Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 The problem with VMs is if you're doing a firmware update and something interrupts the USB port, you can brick your chip. This would prevent that from being an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few threads about the process, but the front loader portion of the chip has a fall back interface for recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teilo Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 This is not a driver issue. It is a WINE issue. WINE does not support USB devices, with the rare exception of certain USB dongles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
