Crowpanel not showing up as a USB device on the Mac computer
Question:"Crowpanel Advance 7" - how to flash firmware?
I'm trying to flash the firmware on a Crowpanel Advance 7" v1.3 and having some problems. I cannot get the unit into DFU mode.
I'm holding down BOOT while plugging the unit in and the screen stays black but it does not show up as a serial device. I have tried both windows and mac, and also used three different USB-C data cables including the one that came in the box.
Can you assist?"
Answer:
"the Mac needs a serial driver to connect to the CH340 chipset on this device. If the Crowpanel not showing up as a USB device on their Mac, they should install this package:
