Linux seems much better, and I haven’t tried Windows. On OSX, I had horrendous problems with the v5 drivers crashing my whole machine (Sierra 10.12). In the installation package, there is a “Legacy MacVCP Driver” directory containing the older 4.11.2 version - using that older version at least works without crashes, but has one known issue. If you ‘make monitor’ and are in the console to the board, then unplug the board, you get left with a /dev.tty.SLAB* device hanging around that messes up that one USB port and future ‘make monitor’ connections. Workaround is to power off the USB hub, and then everything cleans out nicely. If you are directly connected to your MAC’s USB port, then you seem to need to reboot the whole machine to fix the issue. Getting used to being careful to disconnect from the terminal before unplugging (or simply not unplugging - which was happening a lot when I was working on power optimisation, sleep modes, and external 12V power).<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote>_______________________________________________<br class="">OvmsDev mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:OvmsDev@lists.teslaclub.hk" class="">OvmsDev@lists.teslaclub.hk</a><br class=""><a href="http://lists.teslaclub.hk/mailman/listinfo/ovmsdev" class="">http://lists.teslaclub.hk/mailman/listinfo/ovmsdev</a><br class=""></blockquote><br class=""><div class="">Edward Cheeseman<br class="">Electrical Engineer<br class=""><a href="mailto:cheesemanedward@gmail.com" class="">cheesemanedward@gmail.com</a><br class=""></div><br class=""></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">
