Hello,
I’m having trouble installing chipwhisperer on the mac m1 and connect to the chipwhisperer nano
I followed the tutorial on this, but I’m having problems setting up the follows.
sudo cp hardware/50-newae.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/50-newae.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
mac m1 doesn’t have the udev folder, and I skip this step and complete others.
But my USB device light stays off and the ERROR light stays on!
You don’t need to run this step. It is the Linux specific step.
Just omit it.
Thank you, but is this normal in my case (ERROR light stays on, but USB light doesn’t)?
Do you have the libusb to be installed?
Yes
% brew install libusb
Running brew update --auto-update…
==> Auto-updated Homebrew!
Updated 1 tap (homebrew/core).
==> New Formulae
beancount-language-server descope
You have 2 outdated formulae installed.
Warning: libusb 1.0.27 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 1.0.27, run:
brew reinstall libusb
Probably, Mac OS X Installation — ChipWhisperer 5.7.0 documentation can help you.
I don’t have an Apple silicon laptop so it is difficult to say what exactly is wrong.
I referenced this document exclusively for my operations and may need some additional help. But I still appreciate your help. 
The ERROR light being on here is pretty strange, as that LED is only briefly turned on during the startup of the device (at least on older firmware). Your best bet might be to reprogram via shorting the erase pads on the back while the device is plugged in, then unplug/replug. You can then reprogram via instructions at Updating Firmware — ChipWhisperer 5.7.0 documentation
Thank you very much, I’m going to try a new chipwhisperer board first。
