Blue Pill recognized in macOS, but no port available #27

Hey,

I was able to flash the bootloader to my blue pill (F103C8T6) using the st-flash utility. However, I cannot flash any sketches because macOS doesn't seem to detect a COM port in it (/dev/cu.*). The only way to flash a sketch reliably is to switch to a Windows machine, use the CDC mode (#19) to flash a first sketch with USART serial enabled, and only then to switch the jumpers to BOOT0-0 and BOOT1-0.

If somehow I forget to keep USART enabled in macOS, the COM port disappears and I cannot flash anything again until I reflash the bootloader and a sketch in Windows.

Hi,

I do not know if you managed to get this working, but this is what I do with each Blue Pill I want to load the bootloader on:

  1. I flash the latest medium density bootloader .bin file to my BP using a serial adapter.

  2. I then disconnect the serial adapter and completely remove power from the BP, and restore the BOOT jumpers

  3. I reconnect the BP via USB

  4. USB Prober now displays the following: USBProber01

  5. I start the Arduino IDE and create a new Blink sketch

  6. I change the settings as follows: Arduino01 Note: There is no serial port available

  7. I then upload the Blink sketch:

8. USB Proper now displays:

and the Blink sketch is successfully executing
9. Back in the Arduino IDE, the correct serial port is now available:
