I am still ironing out issues with firmware update on OSX with SwissMicros but here are the free tools you will need if you want to use OSX with your DMXXL.

Install/update the following software ...
* download and install CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers (http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages...ivers.aspx)
* download and install MacPort (http://www.macports.org)
* open the Terminal application
* sudo port selfupdate
* sudo port upgrade outdated
* sudo port install lpc21isp
* close the Terminal application

Console session with the device
* open the Terminal application
* connect the DM unit
* put the unit in terminal mode: [c]+[on]
* start a console session: screen /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 38400,8,n,1
* the DM unit menu is now active (press ? for help)
* put the unit in normal mode: [enter] (or any other key)
* end the console session: press [CONTROL]+[a] then [k] then [y]
* disconnect the DM unit
* close the Terminal application

Upload a firmware (currently not working)
* open the Terminal application
* connect the DM unit
* sudo lpc21isp DM16_21.hex /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200 12000
* disconnect the DM unit
* close the Terminal application

It sure is a good thing Macs are less complicated to use than PCs. Just imagine if they were harder.
