Version 1.4 with CH9102F doesn't work with Mac OS X #139
Comments
Same issue here. With a 2015 iMac and 2017 Macbook Pro Touchbar both with MacOS Big Sur. |
+1 for this issue, works with Windows without an issue. Same board is not working on MacOS (both Catalina and BigSur) |
+1 the same issue v1.4 with MacOS |
I got the same problem. While the new one with the cp120 is arriving I came to some questions. The device with the ch9102f came with a built in program that connected with the GPRS despite the fact that the program had not the apn. Im trying to connect with a sim800l modem and I cannot connect. I just could with my mobile phone and the ch9102f lily go. Weird isnt? |
I had to install Ubuntu Linux 20.04 with VirtualBox on my iMac. The Ubuntu system has a little problem with the esptool.py v3.0-dev which is solved in this issue on github: espressif/esptool#528 I exposed the Esp32 board to the virtual machine on the Devices -> USB menu and selected the device with name QuinHeng Electronics USB Single Serial. I ran Arduino IDE with sudo (in order to receive the serial monitor messages), tested with a basic scketch and works fantastic. There's images of the Arduino Terminal when compiling: The board works fine WITHOUT the need of having to jump the GPIO 0 and GND pins. NOTE: Works either with USB 2.0 or 3.0 controllers. I think the problem on Mac lies in the esptool.py script. Hope the chinesse fix the problem soon!! Hope it helps |
The driver for the CH9102F chip on MacOS is still under development, chinesse says: |
I just received this MacOS Big Sur driver for the CH9102F chipset on the TTGO T-Call 1.4 from it's vendor. I can hereby confirm this driver to be working! (Big Sur 11.5.2) Note 1: You need to click through some Chinese screens
Make sure to choose the second option! |
@genotix The zip file contains CH34xVCPDriver_signed.pkg which seems to be the wrong driver (ie. CH34x instead of CH9102) |
Yes, I know; it is not though. The CH34x driver and CH9xxx drivers have been sharing the same package for some time now. The thing I find disturbing though is that WCH as official chip vendor doesn’t provide this driver for download (For MacOs). Browse around on their website, you’ll eventually find the CH9xxx series are pointing to the CH34x driver files. |
It works on my Macbook Pro running on Big Sur 11.1 I initially tried on my iMac on Mojave 10.14.2 and that didn't work. It looks the drivers requires Big Sur. Thanks a lot for the file @genotix ! |
Maybe the reason for a specific driver for CH9102 to be missing is here: http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH9102DS1_PDF.html (focus is mine)
=> they don't "expect" a specific driver to be required and, hence, they don't provide one For Linux they keep the driver here https://github.com/WCHSoftGroup/ch343ser_linux and state
@WCHSoftGroup can you maybe help here? |
@genotix Suggested driver does not work on my MacBook Pro (early 2015) - Big Sur 11.4. |
Doesn't work on Catalina either :( |
The only thing I can do is point you guys towards LilyGo shop on AliExpress. lilygo Official Store Do everyone a favour and should you receive any drivers from them, make them available to others. |
Which one do you refer to? The driver attached to #139 (comment) does work for me. However, the driver linked to in the later comment (the one from the vendor website) doesn't work for me either even though this one looks more official without the Chinese dialogs. |
I seem to have got slightly further - now it's failing on
|
The usual remedy for any sort of timing issue is reducing the upload speed. My driver/OS/device combination only supports max. 456300. |
This worked for me! Big Sur 11.6 flashing TTGO LORA32 915MHz SX1276 OLED development boards! I spent hours trying so many solutions!! This is the only thing that worked!!!! I am so grateful I found this answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
This worked for me on Big Sur 11.6, too. thank you so much. |
Thanks! it solved the problem for LilyGo T-Call SIM800L AXP192 on Big Sur 11.6 |
This is what the chinese pop up says. Anyone have any thoughts about the safety of this, or how to find what was installed?
|
They since released 1.6 at http://www.wch.cn/downloads/CH34XSER_MAC_ZIP.html |
I've got the same problem. Yesterday I've received a LilyGo TTGO T3_V1.6.1, that embeds this CH9102F. Initially it used to show up as
Then I’ve installed the driver found in Then, I’ve tried to download I'm using Mac OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra. Thank you. |
Hello @Sladerix It looks like this link doesn't offer the same installer anymore.
I've just tried it and what I've got has been a file called |
Hi @cirobruno actually i checked in my downloads and i found what i downloaded that day: But if you unzip it you will find the same file you mentioned.. |
For the benefit of future googlers, below is a link to download the correct driver for the http://www.wch.cn/downloads/CH34XSER_MAC_ZIP.html Once installed, the device will be listed under Please note that the link posted in #139 (comment) is incorrect. This driver is for the older CH341 chip, not the CH9102F. Other platforms are available from here: http://www.wch.cn/search?q=CH9102&t=downloads Thanks, Phil |
Dear Phil, |
The latest driver (updated 2021-11-11) from the official website works with macOS 12.1 Monterey as well. |
Guys I solved the problem on Monterey this way:
|
I found a solution for my Catalina based Mac. It's now working with CH9102 devices and V1.7 of WCH driver. I did the following steps (look here). |
|
Worked for me in Yosemite. |
I tried all the recommendations, but I can't seem to make it work on Monterey 12.1 on M1 Pro |
I found that I had some old silicon lab drivers that were interfering. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact steps I used to clean it all up as I did so much messing around. |
Anyone had any success with a driver that works under Big Sur on M1 Mac Air? I installed the following driver:
And the installer log shows:
|
I tried to contact tech@wch.cn them but the email gave me an error in return. The ARM technologies is the future is a lack of knowledge or a simple problem of profitability or the 2 maybe? |
I have been successful in using the TTGO T5 e-Paper modules (with CH9102F) by connecting them to a USB 2.0 hub and then to the USB 3 hub to the M1 Air. I do not have a USB 2.0 hub with a USB C cable to directly connect to the M1. So far I have had a 100% success rate in connecting the T5 displays via a USB 2 hub |
This worked for me also on monterey 12.5 |
Hi, I am having a similar problem here with macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 It's similar because I'm not using a CH9102F, but a CH9102X. I'm using the PlatformIO vsCode extension to upload code to my ESP32, so I get the error:
Any clues ? |
https://www.wch.cn/downloads/CH34XSER_MAC_ZIP.html Best regards |
Worked for me on M1 Max MacOs Monterey. Thanks |
Thanks @philwinder, it worked ! |
Might've been an issue on my side, but this didn't work for me on M2 Pro Ventura 13.6.3. According to the popup, the driver needs to be updated. Instead I found one that did work for me: and I followed the tutorial on this page (the zip file in this website did not work for me, but the WHC link did): |
THAAAAAAAANKS! ONE DAY ISSUE |
THIS worked! Thank you. |
Orderderd a replacement for my SIM800 1.4 with CP2104 and got a new one with CH9102F which fails to upload with the following error Message in PlatformIO on macOS 11.3.1 (OSX)
The only difference I could spot between my old and the two new boards is the CH9102F Chip.
Any ideas, how to solve this issue?
