No serial port on Artemis Uno found in Mac Catalina

I loaded and tried everything as per guidelines, including installing the FTDI drivers. But I the usbserial port is not available.

Can you try a full system restart, then plug in the board before starting the Arduino IDE?

Have you tried multiple USB cables?

Thanks. Will try using different cable.

Does Apple includes the FTDI driver already or do we still need to download and install from FTDI site as per Sparkfun advisory. I notice this advisory was a few years old.

I checked that the FTDI .kext after downliaded is installed in /Library/Extensions. Is this correct or should in /System/Library/Extensions?

Read that if Apple already includes FTDI driver. Will this be conflicting?

Btw, I see another driver FTDIkext.kext in the /Library/Extensions. Is this a valid driver?

Edit - I use a new thicker cable and it detects a port - cu.usbserial-1410. Thanks.

btw, the blue light on pin 13 keeps blinking. Is this normal?

The boards are programmed with a Blink sketch in production, so the blinking is normal.

Thanks. What is the recommend transfer rate to use. I notice that the USB C connection can be very fast. I had to lower it to be able to load to the board from my Mac.

460800 worked on my Mac but it can differ for other users. I would suggest trying different speeds until you get a successful upload.

Thanks Brandon. All is good now
