MAC Install Instructions!? OSX 10.11.2 and UP!

[skygear]

Wanted to get some clear instructions and advice on a MAC install on the latest 10.11.2 - Anyone done it? anyone using it? Have you run into problems with 'drivers' or getting the library installed with the file protection on?


Anyone have any difference in device detection with the software or USB JTAG NT on the MAC?

[skygear]

So here is how to install the application, libraries and frameworks.

hidden files viewable -

Open Terminal and type this

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
killall Finder

to reverse it

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
killall Finder

1. go ahead and navigate to http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/05/disable- ... -mac-os-x/ or just follow these steps.

.

Reboot the Mac and hold down Command + R keys simultaneously after you hear the startup chime, this will boot OS X into Recovery Mode

When the “OS X Utilities” screen appears, pull down the ‘Utilities’ menu at the top of the screen instead, and choose “Terminal”

Type the following command into the terminal then hit return:

csrutil disable; reboot

You’ll see a message saying that System Integrity Protection has been disabled and the Mac needs to restart for changes to take effect, and the Mac will then reboot itself automatically, just let it boot up as normal
You can also issue the command by itself without the automatic reboot like so:

csrutil disable

2. download all the files needed from here
http://www.usbjtag.com/filedownload/usb ... or-mac.php
http://www.usbjtag.com/filedownload/libusb-for-mac.php
http://www.usbjtag.com/filedownload/fra ... or-mac.php

3. open your hard drive folder (or any folder and navigate to the 'root' of your drive so you can locate the /usr/ & /System/ folders.

4. extract/untar each of the lib and framework folders. Drag and drop each of them into the appropriate folders.
-Frameworks - /System/library (Authenticate) with your password
-libs /usr/local/lib Or /usr/lib - (Authenticate) with your password (not sure where it really wants them so i put them in both.

5. untar/extract the usbjtagnt program. I renamed it and dropped it in my applications folder for now. click on the USBJTAGNT in the folder and you will get the prompts from the OS to open it or not. Open it. go to System preferences and click on security. Hit allow and enter password if it asks.

6. A terminal window will open then launch the program. You can plug in the USBJTAG NT at any point and it will ask for activation.

7. reboot and start at the top if you want to re-enable the protection. Just type

csrutil enable

or

csrutil disable; reboot

done. Now go fix something.

I noticed that the versions on the latest releases of the Software are different.

Are you going to update the MAC version to the latest algorithms 0.76-WIN vs the 0.71A-MAC vs 0.66-Android?

[usbbdm]

OK, I can rebuild and upload Mac and Linux version.

Excellent. Now should I work on the Android version with the resolution issues for phones? Or are you doing that also. I would like to use it on my android device from time to time.

[usbbdm]

Please download latest 0.77 now. Mac/Linux/Windows are complete.

[usbbdm]

I do not think you can change the font on binary file. I have no plan to update the Android version yet. There were a lot of changes of the dev tools since last time I used.

Looked like you used Jetbrains product to build it?

The new android suite is pretty easy to use. I might know of a place to get the latest version of Jetbrains product too if your looking to play around with it.

Something I forgot to mention to the Users that do not already have their hidden files viewable -

Open Terminal and type this

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
killall Finder

to reverse it

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
killall Finder

Clean install of 10.11.3 today. DL'd and installed latest version of the soft, .77 now I have an issue.



Was it compiled correctly/? Is there a link to the old file so I can test it?

norflash.xml
nandflash.xml
spiflash.xml


all seem to be missing.


I am NOT getting the activation screen now when I plug in the usbjtagnt either



Text is a little tight there too.

[skygear]

Can you reupload a previous MAC version so I can test and see if it is working? PLEASE.

[usbbdm]

I have uploaded earlier version for Win linux and Mac.
I found the reason, if you start from terminal, it works. If you click the icon it does not. This is because the config folder is changed. I will take a look and fix it soon.

[skygear]

Looks like .71a works and .77 does not

[usbbdm]

I checked the package these files are in the tar file. (0.77)

[usbbdm]

I just re-uplaod 0.77 for mac, please have a try.
