Analog Discovery 2 crashes Macbook Pro when I connect the USB


pelle

Question

Hello,

When I connect the Analog Discovery 2 to my Macbook Pro, model 15 inch late 2016, it shows up in WaveForms for a couple of seconds, then the computer shows the crash screen. I thought it was a conflict with FTDI drivers but it seems not to be it. It is connected through an Apple USB-C to USB adapter and I use MacOS Mojave 10.14. Is it someone experiencing the same problem?

 I used WaveForms v3.8.2 and tried now beta v3.8.18 with the same result. The crash report below is from v.3.8.2:

This seems to be related to the issue that another customer reported. I wasn't able to reproduce it on my end and I think it may be an issue that only shows up with newer MAC hardware than I have access to. The driver was originally written using the IOUSBDevice and IOUSInterface classes from IOKIT. At some point Apple deprecated these and drastically overhauled the API, pushing new driver development to use the poorly documented IOUSBHostDevice and IOUSBHostInterface. OSX still includes the dependencies for IOUSBDevice and IOUSInterface which has allowed us to continue using our driver. However I don't think Apple tested all of their newer hardware with those libraries and that's probably why we are seeing crashes that don't occur when running older MAC hardware.

I re-wrote the driver to use IOUSBHostDevice and IOUSBHostInterface, with the hope that doing so may alleviate the crashes. Unfortunately I'm having issues to get it to laod consistently. I asked several questions of Apple Developer Technical support and haven't received any response.

I also filed a bug report against the AppleUSBFTDI with the hope that they will modify their driver so that it will read the EEPROM (if present) and only attach to interfaces that have been configured as virtual COM port interfaces. This is essentially the equivalent behavior of the Windows FTDI driver. Our KEXT does exactly this in the probe function and if the interface is supposed to be VCP then it returns a really high probe score (higher than AppleUSBFTDI) to prevent AppleUSBFTDI from loading so that we can use D2XX. If the interface is supposed to be VCP then we return a probe score of 0 and allow AppleUSBFTDI to attach to the interface. Apple DTS recently sent me an email and asked me to check the functionality of AppleUSBFTDI under OSX Mojave. I haven't yet done this because I needed to use my MAC BOOK pro for testing some FRC stuff. Now that i'm done with that I will upgrade to Mojave and see if they made the changes that I requested. If they modified AppleUSBFTDI in the manner that I requested then it will no longer be necessary to distribute a custom KEXT with Waveforms. I will work on upgrading and get back to you.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi @pelle

I upgraded to Mojave. It appears that Apple did modify the way AppleUSBFTDI works and I am able to use D2XX without installing a custom KEXT to block AppleUSBFTDI from claiming the interface. You should be able to upgrade to Mojave (if you haven't already) and use Waveforms without installing our custom KEXT. To remove the kext you have to open up a terminal and then use sudo rm -rf to remove our kext from the /Library/Extensions folder. After doing so reboot your machine and then re-run Waveforms with the Discovery attached.

@attila Have you upgraded to Mojave, and if so, can you confirm that the Discovery products are working without the Digilent KEXT? That appears to be the case on mine. If you can confirm this on your end then please remove the KEXT from our Waveforms installer. We can then have support push all customers that are having problems to upgrade to Mojave and remove the custom KEXT.

Thanks,
Michael
