Proxmark easy set up on mac

[Josh1]

I have faced some problems when connecting my Proxmark easy to my MacBook

I followed this tutorial: Getting Started with the Proxmark3 Easy (macOS) | by Taylor Shakespear | Medium

For the flashes, it doesn’t seem to work and it just says:
[=] You can cancel this operation by pressing the pm3 button
When I pressed it, it doesn’t terminate and I think it got stuck.

There seems to be a problem with the connection

I have no idea if this will work, but worth a try

I have had tons of problems getting various Easy models to load rrg properly… it honestly takes a slog of different variations to get it working… I have two different Easy models both with 512k and both required slightly different approaches… one of these approaches tend to work; hold button down, power up, keep holding, run pm3-flash-bootrom, once finished, let go of button but let it flash lights and do whatever the heck it wants to do, see if com port comes back eventually, if com port app…

Thx, it fixed the problem with flashing, but the pm3 command still doesn’t work.

The port looks like it’s not an iceman build also.

There’s a Mac specific guide here: Chipping myself for college - Cloning HID card to xEM with Proxmark3 RDV4 - #3 by identity

That is a bloody great thread that one.

@identity did a great job with it.
I should have referenced that one, thanks @Locutus
