Hi, @ajb2k3
Finally, I could successfully wrote sample code to my M5Basic.
Thank you for your kindly suggestion.
I tried insertion of USB lead to my M5Basic several times.
A device file /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART was appeared on my host.
This my prepared lead get connection once to several times.
And then, I have got new lead you suggested.
This new lead achieve connection completely.
(Amazon Japan URL is https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B01GO3XLM0)
Next step is writing code to my M5Basic.
Once recognized the M5Basic on my mac,
I have tried to write a sample ‘hello world’ program via Arduino IDE.
However, I got error message during writing phase.
And the device /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART was missing after the error.
(The device file recovered after reconnection of USB lead.)
The error message is:
esptool.py v2.6-beta1
Traceback (most recent call last):

Failed to execute script esptool
スケッチの書き込み中にエラーが発生しました
(Last Japanese message means ‘An error found during to write sketch.’)
I connect a capacitor between GND and RST of my M5Stack.
Finally, writing and executing the program successfully!!
I summarized my case for reference:
- Install driver in admin mode.
- Use reliable lead.
- Try to connect a capacitor between GND and RST when failed writing programs.
