M5Burner does not work in MacOX 12.3.

oyouji

Hi, everyone!
M5Burner does not work in MacOX 12.3. I checked it to work in 12.2. I heard 12.3 deletes python module. I tried to install python2 to run M5 Burner. But it does not work. I would like to use UI Flow. So, M5burner need to install UI Flow. Do you have any idea?

Thanks

I can confirm this issue. I am also unable to use the M5Burner on macOS Monterey 12.3.

@oyouji I found a workaround to get the M5Burner working. I installed pyenv with Homebrew and then installed python3 using pyenv. I then had to launch M5Burner from the command line so it had access to the newly installed python3. I did this buy running "/Applications/M5Burner.app/Contents/MacOS/electron-m5burner-v2-eletron".

Same problem here. Program become non-responsive, requires Force Quit.

Hello,

I tried re installing python 3 and running the executable from the command line but I get a Java error
Has anyone got this to work?
Its frustrating!

I had the same problem.
I referred to joshrhyked's post, and I succeed burn with the following steps.

Start Terminal App.
Install homebrew.
Please refer to the installation on the page.
https://brew.sh/
Install python3
Please type the command.
$ brew install python3
Put a symbolic link
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python
Start M5Burner on Terminal
$ /Applications/M5Burner.app/Contents/MacOS/electron-m5burner-v2-eletron

best of luck to you!

Step 4 is not correct but I see it worked for you.
Open terminal and go to settings, you should be able to add /usr/local/bin/python3 to the environmental setting or find the environmental file and add it it there.

@waqast

I couldn't solve it.

When I input this command

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python

it comes out this message

ln: /usr/local/bin/python: File exists

Do someone know how to solve this?

Thanks

You need to set the path in BASH's environment setting (if bash is still used) google for setting Micropython Environmental Patch in OSX. I can't help because my OSX is several version behind and won't be updated until I can afford to by a new MAC.

rickkaye

@waqast When I follow these instructions, wchusbmodem does not show up as an available port in M5Burner. I checked in /dev and it is not there. The only port that M5Burner offers to me is /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port. My hardware is 2017 iMac5k MacOS Monterey12.3.1, M5Stack Core. Can anyone help?

oyouji

@rickkaye Try to turn M5stack off, then plug it in! Do not turn it on by yourself.

@rickkaye Take a look in "Security and preferences" to see if the driver has been blocked.

I updated today to macOS Monterey V 12.3.1 and everything is fine with M5Burner MacOS x64 v3.0

mashimolab

hello,
I could resolve the problem by changing the part of putting a symbokic link like below.

sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python

The install path of python3 with homebrew is changed to /opt/homebrew/bin directory as the default in M1 mac.

MacOS Monterey 12.3.1 (Macbook Pro 2021 M1 Pro Max)

There is an Issue Montery.
Have you installed Xcode from the App Store?
Have you instilled the latest Python 3 from the python site?
Have you installed the drivers?
Have you set the PATH variable correctly?
Have you copied the M5Burner V3 to the Applications folder?
Have you erased the controller first before writing the correct firmware?
