Hi,
I got a M1 Pro Macbook Pro. I wanted to install the CH341a driver. It executes the program like it should be. But it is not showing the USB controller. Saying it is not connected.
I think it needs the USB driver, but I have no clue how to make this work, I am no IT guy. Just need it to read an EEPROM, also Parallels is giving me headaches with this.
Hi,
as far as I know and understand, it's not possible to use (windows) drivers via CrossOver on Mac because CrossOver is a user space program which doesn't have anything to do with the MacOS kernel.
I think with Parallels it should work with if you use the native driver and forward it via Parallels configuration but I am not sure. Even if that will maybe work technically it would create you much headache because of possible latency problems.
The CH340/CH341a should work out of the box on MacOS giving you a virtual device at /dev/tty. or /dev/cu. but I am not sure. There is a driver at http://www.wch.cn/download/CH341SER_MAC_ZIP.html but I don't speak that language.
Sorry that I have to say that - I think it would not work what you are trying to do.
Maybe this is a help: https://kb.parallels.com/6318
