It’s better to disconnect it from USB temporarily. Now let’s connect the cable to the RPi header P1. When the driver is installed, reconnect the cable to USB. Note: If you need to unload the driver for some reason, you check that the driver is loaded (by kextstat command above), and then: sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext It should print the following: Index Refs Address Size Wired Name (Version) ħ4 0 0xffffff7f808ee000 0xb000 0xb000 nl.2303 (1.0.0d1) You can make sure that everything is installed correctly by: kextstat -b nl.2303 Note: Just in case, I made a copy of the “ ” file. Sudo cp -R osx-pl2303.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ Following the instructions I installed the driver and connected to Raspberry Pi.

Googling for a Prolific driver for Mac brought me to a great blog post, called “ PL2303 Serial-USB on OSX Lion”. When the cable is connected, click on “About This Mac > More Info… > System Report… > USB”. I checked the Product ID and Manufacturer on the Olimex cable. It was an unpleasant surprise because before I saw that Lion perfectly recognized other USB-RS232 hardware based on different chipsets (Microchip, for example).

Unfortunately, at a time of this writing, there were no drivers for Mac OSX available on the official website, and OSX Lion (10.7.4) didn’t recognize this device.
This cable provides 3.3V output levels which are strongly recommended for RPi (not 5V), and its 3 wires with female plugs can be directly connected to the RPi GPIO P1 header. It was available on eBay as Olimex USB-SERIAL-CABLE Olinuxino console cable alternative to Raspberry Pi.
I decided to buy Olimex USB To Serial Cable. The documentation about RPi peripherals says that at reset only pins GPIO 14 & 15 (TxD, RxD) are assigned to the alternate function UART. Along with other questions I wanted to try talking to RPi via a serial cable. I recently started playing to Raspberry Pi.
