Cannot make it working on MacOS

[eyp]

Hi, I got the card today. I'm trying to make it working from my Intel x86_64 macOS 15.3.

I've installed the toolchain, ninja and cmake and I got my mxchip_threadx.bin binary file build.

Then I've copied the file to card, it turns on a blue led with Azure label, a red one on the left RGB led, and the Programming green led is blinking, then I get a pop up of "Disk Not Ejected Properly"

and only the Power green led is on, but if I go to the location AZ3166 I only see the DETAILS.txt file.

I don't see any /dev/tty.usbserial sys file either.

Am I missing something?

@eyp Thank you for trying it out.

Someone else successfully deployed from a Mac, but their machine has an Apple Silicon CPU, not x86. They provided some Mac-specific instructions, which I added to the README.

The blinking light means the board copies the binary to its internal storage. However, this seems to fail. The fact you do not see a virtual serial port suggests something is wrong at the USB level.

I do not have access to an x86 Mac to troubleshoot this. Have you tried a different micro-USB cable just in case?
