Mojave FT232R USB UART Driver issues
Upgraded to Mojave 10.14.1 last night.
Running High Sierra or earlier there were no problems detecting USB devices with a FT232R USB UART chipset. (Cyclops Powertap via USB download cradle). After upgrade to Mojave, FT232R USB devices are still detected via System Information but remain inaccessible to the user (can't access them).
Relevant information from System Information:
FT232R USB UART:
Product ID: 0x6001
Vendor ID: 0x0403
(Future Technology Devices International Limited)
Version: 6.00
Serial Number: A700flPQ
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: FTDI
Location ID: 0x14210000 / 9
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 90
Extra Operating Current (mA): 0
There are recent manufacturer provided drivers available for this chipset: https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and it appears others have reported similar phenomenon at various times and created workarounds;Indigo Domotics Blog
MacOS Sierra does not find USB connection to FTDI
I was going to attempt the following workaround; macos - How to release/reset serial port FTDI devices - Mac OSX - Super User but would rather wait for a supported fix if one is coming.
Has anyone else had any experience with this or advice on how to proceed?
Is this something that will be addressed in 10.14.2 and I should just be patient, or should I assume that Mojave represents the end of USB UART support and I need to downgrade to regain connectivity to my USB UART devices?
Thanks in advance!
