streetenergy Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hi to all Dear Developers, how do you feel about new devices from Apple? When will there be driver support for these devices? I usually use MacBook Air 2017 on i3 Intel and Parallels Desktop, but I bought MacBook Air M1 and install Parallels Desktop ARM. I am facing the problem of USB Drivers.... Where are no ARM32-64 USB drivers for linkEcu Do you plan to release updates ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 The G4+ just uses a CP210X VCP, I would expect you can find a CP210x arm driver on the silabs site. I have no idea what parallels needs to work however. There are no plans to support Mac hardware at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Tech Wiring Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I have a similar issue but only with the G4x. I have managed to get all other ECU's to work using arm drivers as mentioned and other methods including virtual com ports. This has worked with all other ECU brands as well, the Link G4x seems to be the only one that I can't make work. Parallels works perfectly with the Intel MacBook and G4x but with the M1 you have to run Windows 10 ARM or Windows 11 ARM. If Link could provide what they are using to communicate with the ECU this problem could be solved with just ARM drivers that all Windows ARM users are going to need anyway. This is the direction technology seems to be heading anyway so can't see why Link wouldn't spend some time on solving this. So at this point all ARM based laptops can not communicate with G4x. Seeing as a lot of the long battery life track day friendly laptops are ARM based now and becoming more popular might be worth looking into. Its not so much a Mac issue as there are no ARM drivers for Link G4x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbase Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 @Auto Tech Wiring Is this the same case as what you are having right now? I just post it on G4X thread as well. Any chance we can make it works? Software installed fine but it couldn't detect ECU via USB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Im pretty sure I have seen Alpha/Beta drivers from FTDI for windows ARM64 a while ago so they are probably not too many years away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Tech Wiring Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Does the Link G4x use FTDI to communicate there are 100% FTDI drivers for Windows ARM available but the ones I have tried so far did not work with Link G4x but did with other FTDI devices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Yes, and it can use either VCP (choose Com# in PC Link) or the direct D2XX method (Choose USB in PC Link). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDM v2.12.32 Beta for ARM64 drivers turn off driver signing and force install the drivers so far have to reinstall drivers for every ECU you connect to as G4x seems to start at Link ECU 1 and 2 and so on when u connect each ECU, supper annoying but is what it is.

OzoneNZ Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Just came across this issue today with a new ARM64 MacBook Pro 14" and thought I'd have a crack at trying to build a customised driver for it before I found this thread The latest Silicon Labs universal driver for the CP210x chips (10.1.10.103) supplies binaries for x86, x86_64 and ARM32 / ARM64 The driver bundled with PCLink appears to be the slightly older 10.1.3.2130 and only supplies x86 and x86_64 binaries as stated I modified the 10.1.10.103 driver manifest to include the Link USB vendor/product IDs and disabled Windows driver signing and it seems to work like a charm, though I only played around with it for 5 minutes Picture of PCLink running on Windows 11 ARM64 virtualised under MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 attached @Adamw I know that MacOS support has specifically been ruled out, but is there any chance of the universal Silicon Labs CP210x driver version 10.1.10.103 being rolled out with a new PCLink release? Having the driver properly signed would be awesome and make the process painless, as well as adding support for real Windows ARM64 devices which are bound to become more prevalent in the next few years Electredge, JMP and Oga.6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For current ECU's which use the FTDI chipset we will add support when there are official arm FTDI drivers released, for older G4+ it is unlikely.
