The RedBox can be connected to the USB-2. (Default Silicon Labs product ID.)
The device name is: /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART

Open the Info.plist OS X 10.5

sudo vi /System/Library/Extensions/SiLabsUSBDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Insert the Tams MC section

                <key>Tams MC</key>
                <dict>
                        <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

                        <key>USB Product Name</key>
                        <string>EasyControl</string>
                        <key>bConfigurationValue</key>
                        <integer>1</integer>
                        <key>bInterfaceNumber</key>
                        <integer>0</integer>
                        <key>idProduct</key>
                        <integer>33087</integer>
                        <key>idVendor</key>
                        <integer>4292</integer>
                </dict>

Reload the device driver

sudo kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/SiLabsUSBDriver64.kext/

The device

$ ls /dev/tty.*
/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART

Auto load

The cache must be updated for the modified Info.plist.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to reboot OS X in Safe Mode:

  • Hold down the shift key until the Apple Logo appears. This takes some time.
  • Reboot again, in normal mode, when the Login dialog appears.
