Enttec DMX USB PRO + OSX 10.11 El Capitan

Hallo Nico and Mac users,

do NOT update OS X to the next version, El Capitan.
The interface Enttec DMX USB PRO (and :Light) will not work.

Enttec is aware of the problem.

This is the answer of Enttec support to my question:
"Apple doesn't allow disabling the in-built driver anymore, which means you cannot use the D2XX driver that most DMX USB Apps rely on

For now, we will advise not to update, till we have more information on a workaround or a solution

There might be other Apps that support the Apple driver - which will allow DMX USB PRO to work on OS X 10.11"


We'll stay tuned,

bye,

Carlo.

Hi Carlo,
that's interesting...

DL do not use at all D2XX drivers...
but DL attempt to unload from the kernel some AppleFTDIDrivers...

which version of DL did you try?
do you have a preview of El capitan? or is it out?

++

can you read this thread:
forums.developer.apple.com/thread/12581

and try these commands from the terminal:
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/ProlificUsbSerial.kext/
sudo kextload /System/Library/ProlificUsbSerial.kext/

and retry to see if USB properly work with DL

thanx,

Hallo Nico,

thanks for the link.

I have a clean installation of last Public Beta of El Capitan. Definitive version will be released this or next week (we'll know on 9th)
I tried with b46 and yesterday I had an attempt also with b47.

For what I understand problem is SIP, System Integrity Protection. Apple doesn't allow Apps to modify system files. Period.
Kernel Extension could be added or edited only by certified or signed developer.

(Apparent) solution is to disable SIP by access to recovery mode (cmd + R) at boot and via Terminal "/usr/bin/csrutil disable"

Then reboot and d::light (and also Enttec Pro-manager) finds the interface.
For a few times.
Yes because, I don't know why, after a while it stop finding it. I've tried a lot, unsuccessfully.
I had to go to Recovery Mode, "clear" SIP, reboot, new recovery mode, disabling it again and the story starts again.

Odd, no?

That's my report.

Ah: ProlificUsbSerial.kext doesn't exist in my system. Even after disabling SIP.

Thanks a lot,

Carlo.

das ist fucked up...

Hi Guys,
Did anyone tried the Enttec ethernet DMX bot with 10.11 and Dlight ?
Is the the update possible ?
If not, will it be compatible soon ?
Thanks,
Florian

I have a b48 running on MacOS10.11 with a valid usb connection to a dmxKing device
I need to polish it though...

Je confirme que la dmxusbpro enttec ne fonctionne pas avec elcapitan et b47

Du coup la b48 a l'air bien... :blush:

Hi Jefff,

you can try disabling SIP, the new System Integrity Protection.

Here, in Function section, you can find instructions to do it: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Integrity_Protection

Let us know if it works for you.

Carlo.

Je confirme : avec la release de El Capitan et le SIP désactivé, l'enttec USB Pro n'est pas activée via dlight 4b47 !!

in the Download/beta section I've pushed a DL_4.0.0_b48_X10_X11
be aware that it's not a finished beta (because DLink and TLinks for chases are not finished.... but you can have a look into it )

it's just to see how things are going:
opening existing sho
setup usb/dmx connection
etc...

thanx for your feedbacks

DL_4.0.0_b48_X10_X11 now working with Enttec USB Pro !
(Sytem Integrity Protection off)
Soon, will test over SIP on !

Not working anymore.
I tested QLC+ working with the the Enttec USB dmx Pro.

I've made another attempt with b49...
available soon.

ça fonctionne chez moi, El-capitan et Dlight pre-b38, l'enttec pro clignote bien.
