Stuck waiting for BCM2837 on Mac

[ball-hayden]

Environment: MacOS High Sierra (10.13.3) libusb stable 1.0.22 (installed via homebrew) CM3 with CM3IO board (USB Slave Boot Enable is EN).

make succeeds, but displays deprecation warnings:

Running sudo ./rpiboot appears to run as expected, but the pi is never detected - I see "Waiting for BCM2835/6/7" forever.

There doesn't appear to be anything in the syslog to show the pi appearing as a USB device.

You say 2835/6/7

2835 and 2836 have a known issue with the MacBook (which may extend to other Apple computers, it is unclear whether it is a software or hardware limitation.)

2837 (Pi 3, Pi 3+, CM3) has this bug fixed

Thanks for your prompt response. This is using a CM3, so it is the 2837...

To fix the first compiler warning you probably want https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot/pull/34/commits/838b8753b848e86015b81f106e9c69a9035a9fd6

Thanks @burtyb. I checked out https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot/pull/34 and tried again - still no luck unfortunately. Is there anywhere you could suggest looking so I can provide more information to help debug this? I'm not particularly familiar with the Mac platform myself, so maybe there's a different log I should be looking at?

Turns out it was a bad USB cable. Sorry for the noise 😦
