Because of the large number of available USB serial adapters, we cannot support these adapters and their drivers. Please always contact your vendor where you purchased the adapter, or the adaptor's manufacturer.


Historically, hardware drivers were developed as kernel extension oder "kext". This method has been deprecated since macOS Catalina (10.15) and Apple has provided newer methods to develop hardware drivers.




Usb 3.0 Drivers For Mac Os High Sierra



ilink does not support you in the installation or use of drivers with reduced security policy on the startup disk. If in doubt, we recommend to wait with the switch to a Mac with Apple processor, until the vendor of your USB serial adapter has released an appropriate new driver.


  • As of October 2017 Tripp Lite offers:a driver for macOS 10.12 Beta (driver version 4.0b4),

  • a driver for macOS 10.9 to 10.11 (driver version 4),

  • a driver for macOS 10.7 to 10.8.x (driver version 3.0.757),

  • a driver for macOS 10.6 (also driver version 3.0.757), as well as

  • various drivers for older macOS releases



  • As of June 2017 Tripp Lite offers:a driver for Mac OS X 10.9 to 10.11 (driver version 4),

  • a driver for Mac OS X 10.7 to 10.8.x (driver version 3.0.757),

  • a driver for Mac OS X 10.6 (also driver version 3.0.757), as well as

  • various drivers for older Mac OS X releases



As of July 2012 FTDI offers:a disk image with drivers for Mac OS X 10.3 and for 10.4 to 10.7 (disk image version 2.2.17).The three links for the different hardware architectures actually all point to the same driver, so it doesn't matter which link you use.


I have to do that for each macos update.I always forgot the name of the chipset to find the website to download the new drivers.I think almost all ethernet adapters for mac are build by Asix.


I was getting hugely frustrated with my Kensington USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter (AX88179) refusing to work under Sierra. Driver re-install (I just re-installed the Kensington drivers I had installed previously) fixed it.


Unfortunately, due to changes in macOS 10.15 Catalina and support for third-party drivers, we are unable to continue support for macOS with our ASIX USB to Ethernet adapters (USB3-E1000, USBC-E1000, USB2-E1000, USB2-E100, USB2-OTGE100). Our USB3-HUB3ME and future USB to Ethernet adapters will use Realtek based chipsets that utilize drivers built into macOS.


I have followed all the steps, no previous drivers so I did not need to uninstall any. I have installed 5.2.1drivers for Mac and followed the YouTube video. However I am still unable to use the Plugable USB 3.0 docking station to get use multiple monitors. Any help? I have given permission for screen recording also. I have tried uninstalling then re-installing also.


From this page you can download a driver for your DisplayLink enabled USB graphics device that is incorporated in your dock, adapter or monitor. This software provides support for the DisplayLink enabled video outputs. The audio and Ethernet support is provided by native macOS drivers from OS version 10.11.


After updating to macOS 10.14, the DisplayLink 5.0 drivers will need to be installed as older driver versions will not work. For more information, visit our FAQ page on this issue at: _sierra_10_13_DisplayLink_issue


With this new Apple OS update (to be released soon, ETA unknown), we are hoping that we will see full support of DisplayLink-based StarTech.com products restored (enabling multiple displays in extended mode). With this update, our Product Development team will be doing extensive testing on the latest developer release. They are also working closely with DisplayLink on the timing for a release of updated drivers.


DisplayLink posted an update on their support site yesterday regarding a temporary solution they plan to make available soon for this issue which would add an extended USB display while they work on finding a permanent solution for macOS users. We are continuing to monitor developments with the DisplayLink-macOS compatibility issue and will post additional updates as they become available. You can read the latest update from DisplayLink here: -displaylink-feature-suggestions/suggestions/33252664-macos-high-sierra-10-13-4


We have been in touch with DisplayLink and they are currently working on a solution to restore video functionality to users who have already updated their macOS. You can find the latest update from DisplayLink here: -displaylink-feature-suggestions/suggestions/33252664-macos-high-sierra-10-13-4


If you are considering purchasing a new docking station to use with a computer running Mac OS, we recommend a Thunderbolt based model as they do not require drivers and is natively supported by Mac OS. Thunderbolt 2 and 3 also offer higher data transfer rates which will allow for display connectivity up to 4K resolutions and dual 4K60 with Thunderbolt 3.


Notes: - An HDMI 1.4 compliant cable (not included) is required to operate at higher than 1080p resolution - Please update your Mac OS to the latest Mac OS 10.14 Mojave & DisplayLink 5.0 driver update to ensure compatibility. Mac OS 10.13.4-10.13.6 will NOT work with this adapter. - MacBook 2018 models (based on the Intel Coffee Lake chipset) running macOS 10.14 can experience black extended display(s) with only mouse cursor. DisplayLink driver v4.3 Beta 6 stays available to force an AirPlay extended display on these machines until a fix is distributed.


You can also try Removing and Re-adding the printer using Airprint. AirPrint is an Apple technology that helps you create full-quality printed output without the need to download or install drivers.


In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install CH340 drivers on multiple operating systems if you need. The driver should automatically install on most operating systems. However, there is a wide range of operating systems out there. You may need to install drivers the first time you connect the chip to your computer's USB port or when there are operating system updates.


These operating systems have the CDC drivers pre-installed, which means you shouldn't need to install any extra software. However, there are a wide range of operating systems out there, so if you run into driver problems, you can get the archived drivers linked below:


If you have found the file in the path, you will need to run each of the following commands in the CLI/Terminal to remove old CH340 drivers. In this case, there was only the usbserial.kext file but it does not hurt to run both commands. Make sure to have administrative privileges to ensure that the drivers are removed.


Check if the old drivers were removed in the paths by using the ls command with your respective OS version. You will notice that the *.kext file is removed from the respective paths. In this case, the usbserial.kext was removed from Mac OSX High Sierra.


There are some reported cases of serial communication failure when using the factory drivers in Linux. If you encounter this problem, you can try installing patched drivers as explained in this forum post. Here are the steps (to run in the command line):


Based on the customer experiences, this might be specific to the manufacturer and are usually isolated cases. Users seem to be able to eventually get the board recognized by a combination of giving the computer time to finish the install (close to 20 min), plugging the board back in multiple times, reinstalling the drivers, and/or resetting the computer multiple times (repeat both steps).


If you installed the drivers for the CH340 on your computer but have issues connecting via serial terminal or uploading code using the Arduino IDE, there may be an issue with your user settings preventing you from using the CH340. You may receive an avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device error similar to the output shown below.


If you are uploading to certain boards like the Apollo3 on the Artemis development boards with fast baud rates, there are some platforms (Linux flavors) where the standard CH340 USB to serial drivers don't operate well at speeds higher than 115200. So if you run into upload problems, consider reducing the upload speed. For more information about upload issues, see this forum post and consider upgrading with these drivers for Mac OSX or these for Linux.


Info: RME offered a public preview of its USB series driver for macOS 11 Big Sur, Intel and M1 (Apple Silicon), already in October 2020. Since then this thread has been the sole resource for all the updates and further development, including the other driver platforms. So don't get confused if you still read about 'public preview', 'beta driver' or USB only - all the drivers are officially released meanwhile.


If you have read the above you might think that now everything is perfect and you can change your whole production to an M1 system. It's not that easy. Apart from most DAW companies still advising not to do that change, our new M1 drivers are more like a public beta or pre-release than drivers that are matured and expected to work in any and all cases. There is still not enough testing done (remember the number of available machines is limited for us similar to the small number of users already using such a setup). Additionally the whole M1 universe is still very new. Apple will have to further optimize it, kick out some bugs, improve performance here and there. The same is true for us as well, this is a new platform, and we are busy keeping track of the constant Xcode updates that Apple releases regularly (which, basically, is a good thing, of course).


The Mac FireWire driver (3.39) works under Big Sur as does the former USB driver (3.19). Only PCIe and TB needed changes. M1 drivers for FireWire will be checked as soon as we received a unit with TB port. The developer preview unit that we got had only USB. 2ff7e9595c
