[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. stm32flash -b 115200 -m 8n1 -f -e 0 -w firmware.bin 
/dev/tty.usbserial-A402V525

http://stm32flash.googlecode.com/

Using Parser : Raw BINARY
Error probing interface "serial_posix"
Cannot handle device "/dev/tty.usbserial-A402V525"
Failed to open port: /dev/tty.usbserial-A402V525

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

stm32flash 0.4.  Mac OS X 10.8.5

Please provide any additional information below.

I stepped through the code.  The problem is happening in serial_setup() here:

    if (settings.c_iflag != h->newtio.c_iflag ||
        settings.c_oflag != h->newtio.c_oflag ||
        settings.c_cflag != h->newtio.c_cflag ||
        settings.c_lflag != h->newtio.c_lflag)
        return PORT_ERR_UNKNOWN;

The CRTSCTS settings in c_cflag can't be turned off, so this comparison fails.

If I just comment out the settings.c_cflag != h->newtio.c_cflag check, then 
everything works.

I got the same issue on Mac Yosemite 10.10.1, and I have never faced this issue 
when working on ubuntu.

My chip is FT232. 

Commenting out the code does help me to success once, but never again ...

Thanks a lot for tracking down this issue. Is it documented anywhere that 
CRTSCTS in c_cflag is not settable on Mac OS X / Darwin?

I can confirm this behaviour on Yosemite, also that the "fix" (commenting out the test) works.
