5 Mac OS X Configuration
5.1 Connect through USB/UART
Open up a terminal and use the screen command to connect to the UART USB interface. The following command will
do so as long as there is only one UART interface connected to the Mac.
sudo screen /dev/tty.usbserial* 115200
5.2 Connect through RNDIS
MacOS X does not come with the needed Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) driver preinstalled.
A possible solution is the open-source HoRNDIS driver. (Visit www.joshuawise.com/horndis.)
The easiest way to install the necessary software is by using homebrew. If you do not have homebrew, you can
install it by entering the following on a command line:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
Once you have homebrew installed, use it to install the HoRNDIS driver:
brew install horndis
If this command fails, install the downloaded horndis file using the Mac package installer.
Configure the RNDIS driver by opening the system preferences and selecting Network (Figure 11).
Figure 11 Mac system preferences
In the network window (Figure 12), select RNDIS driver from the left column, then set the RNDIS driver to configure
IPv4 manually, with an IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Then click Apply.
