<![CDATA[OSX Easyloader]]>Re: [Custom EasyLoader](/topic/1771/OSX easyloader)

Hi --
It is not made clear on the M5STack website that the Atom is not programmable with OSX or Linux, but only with Wondows! I own several useless Atoms.

When will a method of programming these little wonders be made available? Or open source it, and let the web do its magic.

some additional information: same Mac, same OS X Yosemite, same USB port, same USB cable and same M5AtomLite / Matrix, but using a virtual machine running Ubuntu 18.04 and flashing works just fine. I guess this suggest that there is some subtle difference in the FTDI driver of OS X and Ubuntu.

Although I don't have a solution I wanted to share my results regarding flashing M5StickC, M5AtomLite and M5AtomMatrix . I am using VSCode/PlatformIO on two Macs with different OS:

  • OS X Yosemite (10.10.5):
    M5StickC (success), M5AtomLite (fail), M5AtomMatrix (fail)

  • macOS High Sierra (10.13.6):
    M5StickC (success), M5AtomLite (success), M5AtomMatrix (success)

Checking System Information / USB I can see that M5StackC reports version 4.00 and the two M5Atoms show version 5.00.

Anyways, from System Information / USB it looks like the custom USB chips in M5StickC and M5Atoms report as FTDI but I guess they aren't perfect copies and therefore different results are seen with different setups.

I'm running 10.14.2 (mojave) and can program using UIFlow and arduino.
It could be that you OSX is too old to support it.
Have you installed python3 ?
what is the error message that the updater returns?

Thanks for that. I have loaded all the libraries. I have tried choosing M5StickC or ESP32-Pico for the AtomMatrix. Neither the Atom, nor the M5StickCs will load. I can load after powering up with G0 grounded.

I have OSX 10.10.5. I have tried the Updater_FW20200422 py program, but it fails.

Thanks for any advice!

David

in this page you could choice the program platform. and click the category card view the Quick Start.

You can program them on OSX?

If so, how do you do it?

Thx David

Edit: I haven’t seen an update on easyloader yet for OSX. In the meantime, use Arduino or uiFlow to program the Atom and m5burner to flash the firmware.
