I am using node serialport library in my Simple node console application.
I Installed the required driver for the USB Dongle and seems like its not getting detected.
But when i checked the mac i can see the device listed
All i can see is
path: '/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port'
I am expecting to see the CEL EM3588 Zigbee USB stick in the list.
Am I missing something?
const SerialPort = require('serialport');
SerialPort.list().then(o=>{console.log(o)});
Finally figured the solution.
Actually even after installing the Driver for the particular dongle, Security in my Mack Was not allowing it to load.
I manually had to allow the driver to run from the Apple-->Security &Privacy -->General Tab.
Image Attached,
Once I clicked the allow button after installing the driver it started showing-up.
I ran the command
`npx #serialport/list`
and I started seeing my connected dongle

I have a BLE module that i'm trying to update the firmware in, but having a lot of problems connecting the recommended update software (ISupdater). All I get is 'connect failed' message. There seems to be no troubleshooting information available, so I hope that someone has run into the same issues and solved it.
For the hardware setup, I'm connecting to a PC via a USB-USART serial adapter board. I have the 3.3V, GND, reset switch, mode switch, USART connection from the RN4870 BLE module connected as per the microchip connection diagrams (https://microchipdeveloper.com/ble:rn4870-app-example-fw-upgrade). I have verified many many many times that my connections are correct.
Connection Diagram
To test the BLE connection and data transfer I have mobile devices (iOS and Android) with the recommended apps (SmartData, mBIoT). I can see the BLE broadcast in the bluetooth lists, and I can connect to it to use the apps.
For the RN4870 module, I'm able to connect to CoolTerm software to test that I'm getting communication between the terminal and a mobile device. I'm able to send and receive data on the CoolTerm terminal, and on the mobile device apps, so that suggests to me that the USART adaptor is working correctly, and so is the BLE module.
In CoolTerm, I'm able to enter the CMD mode for the RN4870 module to set and read settings of the module, so I can check and set the baudrate to the default 115200.
If I use a BM70 module (which is the same hardware as RN4870 but different firmware), i can't enter any CMD mode, or do any sort of reset. The data is still able to be sent and received, so that confirms the baud rate is correct.
When I attempt to connect to either BLE module using the ISUpdate software that is recommended in the update steps to use as the firmware updater, I'm not able to connect to the module to update the firmware. I've tried many times to get the software to connect, many different ways, without success, and it's frustrating to no end.
I've updated the MCP2200 drivers to the latest ones from the microchip website, as well as using the latest versions of the CoolTerm and ISupdater. I've also tried previous versions, but still they all have 'connect failed'

has anyone got any solutions to the issue?
PC: Windows 10, 64-bit
BLE Modules: RN4870, BM70
CoolTerm Version: v1.8.0 (build 861)
ISUpdater Version: v4.0.0.207
IS187x_102_BLEDK3v1.11_UIv1.01 for Windows 10
Mobile Apps: SmartData, LightBlue for iOS, LightBlue for Android, mBIoT
Hmm, well it turns out that the USB-USART serial adaptor (although confirmed to be working correctly) seemed to be the problem.
At first, I only had the 1 adaptor, and I had to borrow a different adaptor. After swapping this FTDI232 USB-USART Serial adaptor, the connection was made first try, and I was able to update the firmware. I have now purchased a new adaptor.
So, if you are having the same trouble, try using a different adaptor.
I used to run applications in my Redmi 3s Prime device. Usually it worked, but now it's showing as no USB devices detected.
Developer options and USB debugging is ON, but it is still not detecting. What should I do?
Please check the Android Studio "event log" information.
If the information is like "ADB server didn't ACK * failed to start daemon *", it means that other software holds the port. Referring to this can solve it.
If you cannot find log information, probably it failed to install the driver.
You may disconnect the phone from your computer, restart the mobile phone and try again.
I have a Redmi 3S and that happened to me too. I solved it by installing the correct drivers from here and MI PC Suite and connected the device.
Also in developer options, turn on "Install via USB", "USB debugging" and turn off "Verify apps over USB". If nothing works, try another USB cable or other port.
Restart PC, Restart phone, if no luck,
Try installing usb driver from this link
http://gsmusbdriver.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s
and try again
Download suitable USB Driver, ADB driver and fastboot driver for Xiaomi Redmi 3s Prime from below link and install them on your computer.

After installing restart your computer.
I have been trying to pass serial communications between the Jetson and an Arduino Nano, and have discovered that the Jetson will not provide the Arduino with a serial port (should be something like ttyACM0). lsusb in the terminal doesn't identify an Arduino, instead, it lists a generic "Future Technology Devices International" USB serial device. My assumption is that there is a driver issue, but I can find no helpful information for installing or even finding any drivers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I eventually got this to work, using this tutorial. I had tried it before, couldn't get past the Configuring the kernel section. Having tried it again in desperation yesterday, it worked fine. I must not have been paying attention!
Just install the current version of the "grinch" kernel, this custom kernel
has the drivers included.
find more info on the Nvidia dev forum:

I am trying to use the second example code for Visual C++ (http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Soft...SSE/FTCSPI.htm) To connect to the FT2232H Mini Module. My code works and indicates no device is connected when none is. However, when i connect the board and then run the code i recieve the attached message (the device is used by another application). I am not sure why i am getting this message. Any input greatly appreciated.
The FT2232 has two different drivers. One that presents the device as a serial port and one that allows the developer to use a custom interface. Odds are that you have the Virtual Com Port (VCP) driver installed instead of the D2XX driver.

I'm trying to do some transactions over serial ftdi interface to an ARM based board. On windows i'm able to detect it but when from virtualbox i'm unable to detect the same.
When i connect the same board to a linux sever box, it gets detected and gives me the port /dev/ttyuSB0. Any idea why Virtualbox does not detect?
By default, your VMs in VirtualBox can't see any of your 'real' hardware. You can "move" a USB device from the host to the guest. (Appears as a disconnect from the host, then a connect to the guest), but it's an odd two-step process:
When the VM isn't running, create a USB "filter" on your device.
Then, when it's running, sometimes it grabs it, and sometimes you must click the USB icon (at the bottom of your running VM window, next to your disk/CD/mouse indicators).
Make sure you have a recent version of VirtualBox. I think before 4.x, the USB support was not included in the free version. But I can confirm it works in 4.1.
