Hi all know there is lot of posts related to no serial posrts and I read it almost all of it. I still coldnot figure it out how to make my Mac show COM ports in EDI. I installed CH340 driver but still no luck. cdm line is giving me the following and in EDi I only see 2 bolded. /dev % ls tty\* tty ttyse **tty.BLTH ttysf** **tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port ttyt0** ttyp0 ttyt1 ttyp1 ttyt2 ttyp2 ttyt3 ttyp3 ttyt4 ttyp4 ttyt5 ttyp5 ttyt6 ttyp6 ttyt7 ttyp7 ttyt8 ttyp8 ttyt9 ttyp9 ttyta ttypa ttytb ttypb ttytc ttypc ttytd ttypd ttyte ttype ttytf ttypf ttyu0 ttyq0 ttyu1 ttyq1 ttyu2 ttyq2 ttyu3 ttyq3 ttyu4 ttyq4 ttyu5 ttyq5 ttyu6 ttyq6 ttyu7 ttyq7 ttyu8 ttyq8 ttyu9 ttyq9 ttyua ttyqa ttyub ttyqb ttyuc ttyqc ttyud ttyqd ttyue ttyqe ttyuf ttyqf ttyv0 ttyr0 ttyv1 ttyr1 ttyv2 ttyr2 ttyv3 ttyr3 ttyv4 ttyr4 ttyv5 ttyr5 ttyv6 ttyr6 ttyv7 ttyr7 ttyv8 ttyr8 ttyv9 ttyr9 ttyva ttyra ttyvb ttyrb ttyvc ttyrc ttyvd ttyrd ttyve ttyre ttyvf ttyrf ttyw0 ttys0 ttyw1 ttys000 ttyw2 ttys1 ttyw3 ttys2 ttyw4 ttys3 ttyw5 ttys4 ttyw6 ttys5 ttyw7 ttys6 ttyw8 ttys7 ttyw9 ttys8 ttywa ttys9 ttywb ttysa ttywc ttysb ttywd ttysc ttywe ttysd ttywf I What else I can do? Is there any other way to upload the code in ESP32 board ? Thank you in advance . ---

The MacBooks have USB-C ports on them, are you saying the port just doesn’t work to recognize the ESP32 board or that you don’t have another port to connect the board? Have you also downloaded the ESP32 drivers? See this here [Getting Started With ESP32 on a Mac](https://www.instructables.com/Getting-Started-With-ESP32-on-a-Mac/) ---

You are right , this mac only have 2 C ports. I have downlaed the drivers mantioned in 'Getting started with ESP32 on Mac' but even after succesfull installation of driver when I rund ls /dev/cu.\* Im not seeing any driver like cu.SLAB\_USBtoUART?!? ![Screenshot 2025-04-07 at 3.40.43 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/5/7/c/57c279183a18e7af5f265bdea225934d12b6b758.png) Im connecting to ESP32-CAM over micro usb and USB TypeC adapted ![IMG_0217](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/d/8/f/d8f3b83d204067c7dc3d9074f3e0740e6654aac5.jpeg) HELP? ---

Hi @lpastor74. Make sure both the USB cable for the board, and the one for the adapter, are completely plugged into both the Arduino board and the PC. If that doesn't help, one of the cables may damaged, defective, or charge-only. Try a different cable. Either of the above can result in the power connections being made (and thus LEDs lit on the board), but no data connections (and thus no port for the board). ---
