If it's any consolation, I've never been able to get Cisco's USB working on my 64 bit Windows 10 system. I haven't tried lately - I just use an external USB to serial and the good old blue console cable. This page (Software Installation (Mac)) was last updated on Jul 05, 2020.

OSX includes terminal emulation software that you can use from the command line, so we only need to install the USB drivers for the cable.

Next, install the latest drivers for the cable chipset.

There's two possible chipsets. The older cables use Prolific brand, the newer cables (as of 2017) use SiLabs brand. If you're not sure which you have, just install both drivers! There's no risk and the cable will work no matter what

Prolific Chipset

For the 'Prolific Chipset' cable, grab the drivers from here

(If using Lion or Mountain Lion or later OS X, you can also try this driver here http://changux.co/osx-installer-to-pl2303-serial-usb-on-osx-lion but try the official one first!)

And if you're using an older version of Mac OS X (10.8-10.6) then try this Prolific driver version 1.5.1.

SiLabs CP210X Drivers

For the SiLabs chipset, you can grab the drivers from here:

Both downloads are standard Mac installers. Accept all defaults when prompted.

Inthis lesson you will learn how to remote control your Raspberry Piwith a console cable.

Thegreat advantage of connecting this way is that it can even supply thepower for your Pi and you do not need keyboard, mouse or displayattached to the Pi to log into it.

Youwill need to install terminal emulation software (Putty) if you are using Windows and also USBdrivers for the Console Lead. The Mac Terminal comes with its own software.

TheRaspberry Pi uses its built-in serial port to allow devices toconnect to its console and issue commands just as if you were loggedin.

Inthe next lesson, we will look at another way of doing much the samething but over a local network using something called SSH.

You can enable/disable the serial console with either editing /boot/config.txt or raspi-config (which will edit /boot/config.txt for you)

You can pop your SD card into a computer and edit config.txt with a text editor like SimpleText, WordPad or whatnot. You can also edit on a pi with sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Ip blocker software for mac. At the bottom, last line, add enable_uart=1 on it's own line

Using a monitor and keyboard, log into the shell and run

sudo raspi-config

go down to Advanced Options

Hit enter and then go down to Serial

Select Yes

It should now be enabled

Hit return then select Finish

When it asks you to reboot, go to Yes and hit return

OK the serial console is now enabled!

SiLabs CP210X Drivers

For the SiLabs chipset, you can grab the drivers from here:

Both downloads are standard Mac installers. Accept all defaults when prompted.

Download and install Putty from here: http://www.putty.org/

From the list of downloads select the binary called just putty.exe from the section For Windows on Intel x86. This will prompt you to save the file. Save it onto the Desktop for now.

Next, install the latest drivers for the cable chipset.

Prolific Chipset

For the 'Prolific Chipset' cable, grab the drivers from here

This will save a zip file called PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1_7_0.zip (or similar). Unzip this onto the desktop and within the folder run the installer called PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.7.0.exe

If you're having issues, you can also try this older PL2303 driver (v1.0.13)

SiLabs Chipset

For the 'SiLabs Chipset' cable, grab the drivers from here

This will save a zip file called CP210x_Windows_Drivers.zip (or similar). Unzip this onto the desktop and within the folder run the installer called CP210xVCPInstaller_x64.exe
(or CP210xVCPInstaller_x86.exe if the x64.exe doesn't run)

Click through the entire driver installation process to completion

You may need to reboot!

Thedriver is installed in such a way that when you later plug in the USBconsole lead, it will still launch the “Found New Hardware”wizard. If you allow the Wizard to search the Internet and install itshould work.

Whenit has finished installing the driver, you should get this message:

Linux Kernels 2.4.31 and above already have the PL2303 and CP210X USB driver for the Console Lead built-in, so you should not need to install that.
Some distributions such as Ubuntu 12.10 do not include the 'screen' command. Try running the command 'screen' and if you get an error message, you can install it by typing the following command:

TheConsole lead has four female connections that can be plugged directlyonto the GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi.

The Adafruit USB console cable has 3.3V logic, so its safe to use with your Pi.

Attach the leads as shown below:

The connections are to the outside pin connections of the GPIO header. See Lesson 4, for more information about the header: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-4-gpio-setup/the-gpio-connector

• The red lead should be connected to 5V if you want to power via the cable, see below for details
  
• The black lead to GND (3rd pin down)
• The white lead to TXD on the Pi (4th pin down)
• The green lead to RXD on the pI (5th pin down)

Here's a photo showing an older Pi and also powering it via USB. Pi 2 or later are not suggested for this technique as they draw over 500mA

The important thing here is to only power it from one source, the USB power adaptor or the Console Lead BUT NOT BOTH. Unless you have a Pi A+ or Pi Zero, don't connect the red wire!

If you do decide to power the Pi from the console cable, DO NOT attach the Pi's USB power adapter. If you would rather power the Pi from your USB power adapter then leave the Red lead from the Serial lead un attached.

OK now power up your Raspberry Pi!

If you are using a Mac, then all you need to do is open a Terminal window and issue the command

To list all of the available serial ports. You should see something like this:

You'll see a few items listed including a /dev/cu.Bluetooth device. You're looking for something like /dev/cu.usbserial-NNNN or /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART or /dev/cu.usbmodem

Once you've identified the name, you can then run:

The device will have a slightly different name than the above. One way to quickly figure out the name is start typing screen /dev/cu. and then press the TAB key to auto-complete to whatever your device is called, before adding 115200 (which is the baud rate) to the end.

You can also try screen /dev/cu.SLAB* 115200 or screen /dev/cu.PL2303* 115200or screen /dev/cu.usbserial* 115200 To have the shell complete the file name for you

If you are using Linux, its much like the above but often times the device is called /dev/ttyUSB0 - you may want to run sudo dmesg after plugging in and looking for hints on what the device is called.

Then use the command:

To start communication with the Pi, press ENTER and you should see the login prompt from the Pi.

Here it is running on a Mac.

If you are using a PC, then before you start Putty, you need to know which com port is being used for the cable. You can find this by looking in the Ports section of the Windows Device Manager.
The Device Manager is accessible from the Control Panel under System.

It isn't going to be COM1 so never pick that. Chances are its the one right below COM1. It will often say 'SiLabs' or 'Prolific' or similar next to it. In this case it is COM7 that is in use.
Now start Putty and you will see a connection window.

Select a connection type of 'Serial' from the radio buttons, then set the speed to 115200 and the serial line to COM7
Finally click 'Open' to connect. Remember to press ENTER to start communications.

For a new installation of Raspbian, the default username is pi and the default password is raspberry

Thats it! You are connected and can use the command line to navigate around your Pi.

Once you've connected with the console you can set up your Pi to use SSH as another means of connecting to your Pi over your local network.
