        Hello @Zontex could you advise me also as I got a similar problem

        Start Burn

        --chip esp32 --port /dev/tty.usbmodem51850037101 --baud 1500000 --before default_reset write_flash -z --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size detect 0x7ff000 /Applications/M5Burner.app/Contents/Resources/packages/fw/other/wifi.bin 0x1000 /Applications/M5Burner.app/Contents/Resources/packages/fw/core/UIFlow_Core2-v1.8.5-core2.bin

        esptool.py v2.5.0
        Serial port /dev/tty.usbmodem51850037101
        Connecting...
        .

        Chip is ESP32D0WDQ6 (revision 1)
        Features: WiFi, BT, Dual Core, 240MHz, VRef calibration in efuse
        MAC: 08......HIDINGIT
        Uploading stub...

        A fatal error occurred: Failed to write to target RAM (result was 01070000)

        Burn Failed

        I guess it is the driver not loading well as I can only see this tty of type modem but I have found no easy way to make it working, I am using the Apple Multi Adaptor (HDMI/USB) on USB C.

          I have installed latest driver https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/software/Mac_OSX_VCP_Driver.zip and can see the corresponding extension in /Library/Extensions with

          drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 96 Oct 15 10:46 SiLabsUSBDriver.kext

          but then when running M5Burner it only show a tty device of type Bluetooth or usb modem

          ls /dev/tty.*

          /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
          /dev/tty.usbmodem51850037101

          I am running macOS Catalina

            /dev/tty.usbmodem51850037101 is the correct device, I'm not sure what's going on in OSX but this is how it appears for me and the device that works for me.

              Great thanks, I will try again later, in the meantime I switched to a Windows machine to make it working.

                I had weird problems like this with an M5Stamp-PICO until I put more capacitance across the bus (5V and 3.3V). I used a couple of tantalum capacitors I had on hand, not sure the value, probably 33uF. I was powering the device through the USB serial adapter and apparently it was power limited.
                I have had no problem whatsoever since then.

                      This was a known issue with Big Sur (something related to the python and / or serial port implementation in Big Sur.
                      I did contact M5Stack support but no solution has ever been found.
                      I gave up and reverted back to Catalina and it worked fine again.
                      Now I just installed the latest Monterey but haven't tested the Core2 yet.
                      In the meantime I was also using a windows computer....

                            Has anyone managed to get the core 2 to work with an M1 mac? I think that you do not need the driver for the m1? With a m5stick C it works fine, but not with the core 2

                              I have the same issue when I use the M5Stack ESP32 Downloader.
                              However when I use a simple M5Stack Atom Matrix, its works fine.

                              I am on OSX Big Sir.

                              I feel like the issue is related to the CH9102 chip on the ESP32 Downloader where the Atom has the CP2104 I think.
                              This theory is supported by this article here:

                              Confirmed, installing the driver from this thread here worked for me

                                I guess you're right as I noticed on banggood/ aliexpress some products using this CH9102 chip are tagged as not Mac compatible.

                                    I found a solution that works on Montery :-)

                                    Make sure you follow the PDF instructions, this works M1 Mac M5 Epaper

                                        I still have the same problem with 5 new M5Fire on Big Sur. Two older ones burned succesful.

                                          @drjakob Check which USB driver is in the new cores as the driver chip was changed due to the part shortage.
