Can't connect via serial or ssh to Pico Mini B board on MAC

2025-09-27 9:12

Hello
I was able to update my Luckfox Pico Mini B board with this manual using upgrade_tool with this Luckfox_Pico_Mini_B_Flash_250429.zip

When connectiong to usb it's booting a blinking (every ~1s)
I can see usb device with lsusb:

Code: Select all

Bus 000 Device 001: ID 2207:0019 Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd. rk3xxx  Serial: 739e8ed61d4ac174

However I can't find any usb-ethernet interfaces (for ssh connection) or usb-uart devices (for serial connection) to the board.
Probably missing drivers but here I see something for Windows only.
Probably I'm missing something, but what would be the option for MacOS here? will it be same problem on Linux/Ubuntu?

Hello, native MAC OS does not support RNDIS. It might be necessary to install the relevant drivers to recognize the USB Ethernet device. The Luckfox Pico Mini does not have a usb-uart. To log in to the terminal via the serial port, you need to use a USB to serial port converter. Refer to https://wiki.luckfox.com/Luckfox-Pico/L ... Login-UART
