I am trying to update the firmware on a Nortek USB stick, and I don’t know how to find the usb serial path on a Mac. I have tried
ls /dev/tty.*
and a couple of other commands but it won’t show up. How can I get its path so I can follow the instructions to update the firmware in Docker?
You probably do not have the drivers installed…
but honestly I would verify that the firmware update works on a Mac first… maybe check the GitHub for the firmware updater and see if anyone has successfully done it first. I know you can run docker on OS X and what not… but you may be risking bricking your stick if it doesn’t work.
Do you run HA on the Mac also?
No, my HA is on a Pi. I’m new to all this… just trying to navigate new territory.
Ok, I could be totally wrong and it may work perfectly on a Mac, but I myself would go with a Linux install… just because OSx while in a very generalized term is the same, there are a lot of quirky dependency things and stuff that I have ran into.
do you know how to ssh into your pi? What type of HA install is it?
I have that stick and was not aware of any firmware updates available. Please share the link for this.
Here is the link that was shared with me…
It’s the HA OS. Sould I do the update right on the Pi? I’ll enable ssh and see how far I can get.
Oh look what i just found it looks like maybe someone got it to work on Mac… and in this thread the creator mentions which dependencies install!!
