macBook Pro (2012) crashes after running Waveforms

[Wayne Contello]

Hi.

 

I have noticed that after I run waveforms (and quit it) that my machine will not correctly reboot.  When I select reboot (or shutdown), again, after running and quitting Waveforms, then machine will mostly shutdown to a dark screen, then pause for minutes, then finally produce the kernel panic screen.  On next boot, then console will come up showing a crash report.

 

I'm pasting if at the end of this post...

Details:

MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid 2012)

macOS Catalina (10.15.7)

Waveforms: 3.16.36

Hardware: Digilent Analog Discovery 2

Hi @Wayne Contello

I'm unable to reproduce the problem you have with MacOS 10.15.7 MBP late 2014
I've tried to reboot and shutdown it many times without any issue.

If you have the driver filter installed, try to delete it, normally it is not required.
Delete: Library/ Extensions/ DigilentFtdiDriver.kext and Reboot

You could try to change the USB VID/PID of the device. This will make incompatible with older software, but it can be reprogrammed again with FTDI id.
Without connecting the device, open the WF Device Manager, click "My device is not listed", connect the device, Find, Product: AD2 revC, Vendor: Digilent, Program

[Wayne Contello]

OK.  I had already run the application Waveforms.  So I followed your directions.  I removed the kext and rebooted.

Crash log follows.... select menu item " > Restart…"... wait for a few minutes.. Kernel Panic... restart,

I rebooted again (after reboot I just posted with a Kernel Panic) AND did NOT connect AD2.

BTW... the kext I removed was: Library/Extensions/DigilentFtdiDriver.kext

 no problem.  Now I will connect device.  and reboot

[Wayne Contello]

OK.  rebooted no problem.  I connected the AD2, then wait about 10 sec, then unplugged, then rebooted.  I'll try

connecting AD2, then running Waveforms, then quitting, then unplugging, then reboot

[Wayne Contello]

OK.  That worked too.  so, to me, it looks like removing the file "Library/Extensions/DigilentFtdiDriver.kext" helped.

 

Should I just operate without that file?  What are the impacts of NOT having the file?  Why was it included in the first place?

Hi @Wayne Contello

I'm glad to hear the problem is solved.

The driver(filter) is only required on some earlier macOS versions on some Macs.
Without this, it could happen that the software can't access the device.
Again, as it is also mentioned the installer image, the kext should be installed under macOS 10.13 or earlier.
(The WaveForms app also gives instructions to install or delete the driver, based on OS version, if no device is detected.)

To prevent such problems in the future, the USB ID of the devices will be changed.
