Anyone get this version to work? There's certainly progress since the kext 
now happily loads. But nothing happens when I plug the Beaglebone in. In 
particular, nothing appears in System Preferences -> Network, and there's 
no response from 192.168.7.2. Is there another step to turn "tethering" on 
in the Beaglebone?

[beagleboard] Beagle bone not network/serial accessible over USB in Mac OS X El Capitan

2015-10-24 Thread hraftery 
To save others the angst, I just wanted to report that on the latest Mac OS 
X (El Capitan 10.11) the Beaglebone Black is currently not usable via the 
USB connection, except as a storage device. The alternative is to power it 
somehow and connect via Ethernet.

Normally there are two methods of console connection via USB: as a virtual 
network device using HoRNDIS or as a virtual serial device using FTDI USB 
Serial drivers. Both are thwarted by El Capitan because it enforces kext 
signing, but for slightly different reasons:

   - HoRNDIS simply hasn't been signed for the latest OS, so refuses to 
   load. A preview version that is signed has become available (discussed 
   here: 
http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums?place=topic%2Fbeagleboard%2Fsp3_x1k5WP8%2Fdiscussion
 
   and over at the source: https://github.com/jwise/HoRNDIS/issues/42 ) but it 
   does not appear to work with the Beaglebone.
   - FTDI's drivers contain a long list of recognised chips, but the 
   Beaglebone isn't one. Adding support is a simple matter of adding the 
   vendor and product ID to the kext, but unfortunately doing so invalidates 
   the signature and the kext will no longer load!

If anyone discovers improvements on this state of affairs then please let 
us know. I'll do the same.

Regards,
Heath
