0 attila Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hi @Albert Terheide Yes, it should work. You can try the WaveForms application in demo mode if you don't have AD2. At the moment WF app is working in emulated mode on M1. Apple provides Rosetta 2 to be compatible with applications compiled for Intel architecture. We've tested this on Mac mini M1 and had no complain about the performance. The low level driver and software for M1 architecture is ready but the high level libraries are not yet available for M1. Due to this external dependency I don't know when we have native M1 build but hope it will be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Albert Terheide Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hi @attila The Macbook Air only comes with a USB-C connector. Is there a preferred method to connect the Analog Discovery 2 to this port? Thanks again. Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 attila Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hi @Albert Terheide I don't know how much power can this laptop provide. On earlier Air the USB A on one side was limited in power. The USB types/versions are (or should be) compatible. It should work with USB hub or direct connection, if you can find C to micro cable or adapter. If you get error on connection or during usage try powered hub or docking station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Albert Terheide Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hi @attila I understand that Waveforms can use Rosetta 2 to run on the M1 Mac but are the drivers currently available to talk to the Analog Discovery 2 using the M1 hardware? I'm guessing the driver can not be emulated on the M1? Thanks again. Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 attila Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hi @Albert Terheide The emulated driver is working on Mac mini M1 so it should also work on Air M1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
