BridgeOS Crashes Happening on 2018 MacBook Pro with TouchBar

Having received my new 15" MBP yesterday, incorporating the new T2 chip, I have experienced two BridgeOS crashes in the past 18 hours.

The most recent happened with a USB-C Samsung drive, an external keyboard and mouse as well as a Belkin USB-C ethernet adapter all connected directly into the USB-C ports on the device.

I did a straight-up Migration Assistant from my 2017 15" MBP with a Touch Bar and had to set up TouchID again on the new one!

The Crash Reporter error was in a completely different format from a normal Crash Report and is not documented on the Mac in the usual /Library places.

Due to fat fingers, I was unable to capture the latest log, but I will post again once I have some more detail.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018), macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), 2.9Ghz i9, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD

I use the default setting, and have update to the newest os (macOS mojave) also can duplicating this bug;

I downloaded the Mojave software update and still have these crashes. Although, they don't occur as often as before.

I'm also having this issue, sometimes after waking up from sleep. It's less frequent since mojave, but it's still way too often.

I have NOT had crashes since installing the updates. Fingers crossed.

Andrew, how did you hit the crash? During normal use in macOS or wake from sleep?

Normal use... was configuring a firewall using Google Chrome... only had the USB-C ethernet connected... battery was around 40%.

Hi @jttaggart and @ maksimrv,

My theory about it being hardware rather than software is definitely incorrect (new machines continue to pop up with BridgeOS crashes). So, it could be either.

Apologies,

Hi folks, does anybody have any news regarding this annoying issue?

Same here. Purchased a 2018 i9,32GB, Vega 20 about a month ago, and lately it has been crashing when going to sleep.

I do have a Satechi hub for my usb's attached to the computer

Feb 28, 2019 5:56 PM in response to Andrew Preece

Yes, I encountered the same bug with my brand new 2018 15' macbook pro. Kept crashing when connected to an external display. It has been 7 months and still not fixed? Come on, Apple.
