Version 1.4 with CH9102F doesn't work with Mac OS X #139

Closed u-l-m-i closed 3 years ago

u-l-m-i commented 3 years ago

Orderderd a replacement for my SIM800 1.4 with CP2104 and got a new one with CH9102F which fails to upload with the following error Message in PlatformIO on macOS 11.3.1 (OSX)

Serial port /dev/cu.usbmodem52780006671
Connecting....
Chip is ESP32-D0WD (revision 1)
Features: WiFi, BT, Dual Core, 240MHz, VRef calibration in efuse, Coding Scheme None
Crystal is 40MHz
MAC: 3c:71:bf:xx:xx:xx
Uploading stub...

A fatal error occurred: Failed to write to target RAM (result was 01070000)
*** [upload] Error 2_

The only difference I could spot between my old and the two new boards is the CH9102F Chip.

Any ideas, how to solve this issue?

Hi, I'm having the same issue here

I've connected IO0 to GND and press the reset button. I receive the waiting for download but when it write it give me the same error

matymad commented 3 years ago

Same issue here. With a 2015 iMac and 2017 Macbook Pro Touchbar both with MacOS Big Sur.

arjenhiemstra commented 3 years ago

+1 for this issue, works with Windows without an issue. Same board is not working on MacOS (both Catalina and BigSur)

rynskyi commented 3 years ago

+1 the same issue v1.4 with MacOS

SrRockabilly commented 3 years ago

I got the same problem. While the new one with the cp120 is arriving I came to some questions. The device with the ch9102f came with a built in program that connected with the GPRS despite the fact that the program had not the apn. Im trying to connect with a sim800l modem and I cannot connect. I just could with my mobile phone and the ch9102f lily go. Weird isnt? The prompt gave something like: Found 37 networks Begin SIM800 PASS SIM800 Begin PASS Test motor ... Init success AT+CHFA=1 AT+CRSL=100 AT+CLVL=100 AT+CLIP=1 etc

matymad commented 3 years ago

I had to install Ubuntu Linux 20.04 with VirtualBox on my iMac. The Ubuntu system has a little problem with the esptool.py v3.0-dev which is solved in this issue on github: https://github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/528

I exposed the Esp32 board to the virtual machine on the Devices -> USB menu and selected the device with name QuinHeng Electronics USB Single Serial. I ran Arduino IDE with sudo (in order to receive the serial monitor messages), tested with a basic scketch and works fantastic.

There's images of the Arduino Terminal when compiling: Screen Shot 2021-06-19 at 15 39 51

Screen Shot 2021-06-19 at 15 40 09

The board works fine WITHOUT the need of having to jump the GPIO 0 and GND pins.

NOTE: Works either with USB 2.0 or 3.0 controllers.

I think the problem on Mac lies in the esptool.py script. Hope the chinesse fix the problem soon!!

Hope it helps

matymad commented 3 years ago

The driver for the CH9102F chip on MacOS is still under development, chinesse says: http://www.wch.cn/bbs/thread-72035-1.html

genotix commented 3 years ago

I just received this MacOS Big Sur driver for the CH9102F chipset on the TTGO T-Call 1.4 from it's vendor.

I can hereby confirm this driver to be working! (Big Sur 11.5.2)

Note 1: You need to click through some Chinese screens Note 2: You need to select to correct device You will see:

  1. /dev/cu.usbmodemXXXXXXXX
  2. /dev/cu.wchusbserialXXXXXXXX

Make sure to choose the second option!

CH9102_Mac_Driver.zip

mtgred commented 3 years ago

@genotix The zip file contains CH34xVCPDriver_signed.pkg which seems to be the wrong driver (ie. CH34x instead of CH9102)

genotix commented 3 years ago

@genotix The zip file contains CH34xVCPDriver_signed.pkg which seems to be the wrong driver (ie. CH34x instead of CH9102)

Yes, I know; it is not though. The CH34x driver and CH9xxx drivers have been sharing the same package for some time now.

The thing I find disturbing though is that WCH as official chip vendor doesn’t provide this driver for download (For MacOs).

Browse around on their website, you’ll eventually find the CH9xxx series are pointing to the CH34x driver files. (If it’s the same file; why use the name of just one of the two instead of a generic VCP package name or so)

http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_MAC_ZIP.html

mtgred commented 3 years ago

It works on my Macbook Pro running on Big Sur 11.1

I initially tried on my iMac on Mojave 10.14.2 and that didn't work. It looks the drivers requires Big Sur.

Thanks a lot for the file @genotix !

marcelstoer commented 3 years ago

Maybe the reason for a specific driver for CH9102 to be missing is here: http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH9102DS1_PDF.html (focus is mine)

CH9102 supports built-in CDC driver in operating system or multi-functional high-speed VCP manufacture driver

=> they don't "expect" a specific driver to be required and, hence, they don't provide one

For Linux they keep the driver here https://github.com/WCHSoftGroup/ch343ser_linux and state

...ch344/ch9101/ch9102/ch9103 are fully compliant...

@WCHSoftGroup can you maybe help here?

jpduhen commented 3 years ago

@genotix Suggested driver does not work on my MacBook Pro (early 2015) - Big Sur 11.4. Any help appreciated...

cgreening commented 3 years ago

Doesn't work on Catalina either :(

genotix commented 3 years ago

The only thing I can do is point you guys towards LilyGo shop on AliExpress. It is where I bought mine and it seems to be the official LilyGo team behind it.

lilygo Official Store https://a.aliexpress.com/_vCIogm

Do everyone a favour and should you receive any drivers from them, make them available to others.

marcelstoer commented 3 years ago

Suggested driver...

Which one do you refer to? The driver attached to https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-T-Call-SIM800/issues/139#issuecomment-904390716 does work for me. However, the driver linked to in the later comment (the one from the vendor website) doesn't work for me either even though this one looks more official without the Chinese dialogs.

cgreening commented 3 years ago

I seem to have got slightly further - now it's failing on

A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet header
marcelstoer commented 3 years ago

The usual remedy for any sort of timing issue is reducing the upload speed. My driver/OS/device combination only supports max. 456300.

This is what the chinese pop up says. Anyone have any thoughts about the safety of this, or how to find what was installed?

Window Launch the application and click Install driver, please complete the system driver authorization. To uninstall the driver, just transfer Just move the application into the waste paper label. I feel that you are paying attention to Qinheng! Install the driver

marcelstoer commented 2 years ago

@JayPalm did you try whether the 1.5 version of their driver that has since been officially released at http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_MAC_ZIP.html wouldn't solve the problem? I'd feel a little safer than installing some arbitrary file someone posted on GitHub.

They since released 1.6 at http://www.wch.cn/downloads/CH34XSER_MAC_ZIP.html

cirobruno commented 2 years ago

I've got the same problem.

Yesterday I've received a LilyGo TTGO T3_V1.6.1, that embeds this CH9102F.

Initially it used to show up as /dev/cu.usbmodemFA1341. It was able to output the demo code messages to the serial monitor. Nevertheless, unable to upload new code toward the microcontroller's flash memory. It used to report like this:

Serial port /dev/cu.usbmodemFA1341
Connecting....
Chip is ESP32-PICO-D4 (revision 1)
Features: WiFi, BT, Dual Core, 240MHz, Embedded Flash, VRef calibration in efuse, Coding Scheme None
Crystal is 40MHz
MAC: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Uploading stub...

A fatal error occurred: Failed to write to target RAM (result was 01070000)
*** [upload] Error 2

Then I’ve installed the driver found in https://github.com/WCHSoftGroup/ch34xser_macos It didn’t work out. Moreover, after installing it, the serial interface became invisible to VSCode’s serial monitor as well as for other serial monitors.

Then, I’ve tried to download https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-T-Call-SIM800/files/7037260/CH9102_Mac_Driver.zip but the provided file is called CH34xVCPDriver_signed.pkg, that doesn’t change anything!

I'm using Mac OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra. Is there something else I should try?

Thank you. Regards, Ciro

Hi @cirobruno actually i checked in my downloads and i found what i downloaded that day: CH9102_Mac_Driver.zip

But if you unzip it you will find the same file you mentioned..

philwinder commented 2 years ago

For the benefit of future googlers, below is a link to download the correct driver for the CH9102F chip for OSX direct from the manufacturer:

http://www.wch.cn/downloads/CH34XSER_MAC_ZIP.html

Once installed, the device will be listed under tty.wchusb... or cu.wchusb...

Please note that the link posted in https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-T-Call-SIM800/issues/139#issuecomment-967794913 is incorrect. This driver is for the older CH341 chip, not the CH9102F.

Other platforms are available from here: http://www.wch.cn/search?q=CH9102&t=downloads

Thanks, Phil

dennisdebel commented 2 years ago

Dear Phil, Thank you for the correct link, I am on Catalina and the driver you posted seemed to work for CH9102X. However...only one time, after flashing firmware to the board, the port disappears. No clue how to get it back besides uninstalling, reinstalling and rebooting.

oojBuffalo commented 2 years ago

The latest driver (updated 2021-11-11) from the official website works with macOS 12.1 Monterey as well.

flidsky commented 2 years ago

Guys I solved the problem on Monterey this way: 1) Install ch34x driver 2) Press mysterious chinese button 3) GO TO Security on Settings and allow chinese stuff to open usbmodem changes to wchusbmodem

SchneHa commented 2 years ago

I found a solution for my Catalina based Mac. It's now working with CH9102 devices and V1.7 of WCH driver. I did the following steps (look here).

Anyone had any success with a driver that works under Big Sur on M1 Mac Air? I installed the following driver:

KenjutsuGH commented 2 years ago

I have been successful in using the TTGO T5 e-Paper modules (with CH9102F) by connecting them to a USB 2.0 hub and then to the USB 3 hub to the M1 Air. I do not have a USB 2.0 hub with a USB C cable to directly connect to the M1. So far I have had a 100% success rate in connecting the T5 displays via a USB 2 hub

  2. The CDC driver that comes with macOS is prone to errors during data communication due to the incomplete protocol. It is not recommended to use the macOS CDC driver.

  3. For macOS 11.0, the VCP driver of WCH needs to be installed to make the device work. Please refer to the download link for installation.
