I am working with USB serial devices on macOS.How can I detect BSD(unix) name have for my USB Serial device on macOS using IOKit?I want to get device name like : "IODialinDevice" = "/dev/tty.usbmodemMyDeviceName"My USB device is USB serial COM port.Also I want to detect when device was attached to machine.I can detect when new USB device with my VID and PID was connected.This code allows me to do it CFMutableDictionaryRef keywordDict = IOServiceMatching(kIOSerialBSDServiceValue); kern_return_t result = IOServiceGetMatchingServices(kIOMasterPortDefault, keywordDict, &iterator); while ((port = IOIteratorNext(iterator))) { io_object_t parent = 0; io_object_t current_device = port; while (KERN_SUCCESS == IORegistryEntryGetParentEntry(current_device, kIOServicePlane, &parent)) { CFTypeRef vendor_Id = IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperty(parent, CFSTR(kUSBVendorID), kCFAllocatorDefault, 0); CFTypeRef pr_Id = IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperty(parent, CFSTR(kUSBProductID), kCFAllocatorDefault, 0); if((vendor_id==MY_VENDOR_ID) && (pr_ID==MY_PRODUCT_ID)) { // MY SERIAL DEVICE DETECTED !! CFTypeRef deviceName = IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperty(device, key, CFSTR(kIOTTYDeviceKey), 0); CFTypeRef callOutDevice = IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperty(device, key, CFSTR(kIOCalloutDeviceKey), 0); CFTypeRef dialInDevice = IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperty(device, key, CFSTR(kIODialinDeviceKey), 0); } } }But the problem that this code not allows me to detect the new device.I just enumerate existing kIOSerialBSDServiceValue devices here and then I check parents VID and PIDIf parent have MY_VID and MY_PID I assume that I have found correct serial device.Another code allows me to detect new USB deviceThis is Apple example LUSBPrivateDataSample.cI can detect my device using VID and PID with the following code int main() { ... ... ... // Create a CFNumber for the idVendor and set the value in the dictionary numberRef = CFNumberCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, kCFNumberSInt32Type, &usbVendor); CFDictionarySetValue(matchingDict, CFSTR(kUSBVendorID), numberRef); CFRelease(numberRef); // Create a CFNumber for the idProduct and set the value in the dictionary numberRef = CFNumberCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, kCFNumberSInt32Type, &usbProduct); CFDictionarySetValue(matchingDict, CFSTR(kUSBProductID), numberRef); CFRelease(numberRef); ... ... ... // Now set up a notification to be called when a device is first matched by I/O Kit. kr = IOServiceAddMatchingNotification(gNotifyPort, // notifyPort kIOFirstMatchNotification, // notificationType matchingDict, // matching DeviceAdded, // callback NULL, // refCon &gAddedIter // notification ); } void DeviceAdded(void *refCon, io_iterator_t iterator) { io_service_t usbDevice; while ((usbDevice = IOIteratorNext(iterator))) { // I have device here but I can't get IODialinDevice device name } }The problem with this code that I can't get IODialinDevice device nameI have also checked all child nodes for this usbDevice.None of them contain IODialinDevice property or none of them is kIOSerialBSDServiceValue device.Looks like I am doing it wrong.Looks like serial devices and USB live in different IOKit registry branches.The question is how can go from USB device identified by VID and PID to serial device (kIOSerialBSDServiceValue) with IODialinDevice ("/dev/tty.usbmodemMyDeviceName") property .This is part of my ioreg tree: I can detect CDC ACM Data device in my application. (top device in this tree)In ioreg I see this picture.So there are children, AppleUSBACMData and IOSerialBSDClient who has IODialinDevice property.But I can't detect AppleUSBACMData and IOSerialBSDClient in my application .Probably because AppleUSBACMData and IOSerialBSDClient are not devices, but USB Interfaces or USB Endpoints.So this is my problem. +-o CDC ACM Data@3 | { | "USBPortType" = 0 | "IOCFPlugInTypes" = {"2d9786c6-9ef3-11d4-ad51-000a27052861"="IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBLib.bundle"} | "Product Name" = "DevName" | "bcdDevice" = 1044 | "USBSpeed" = 3 | "idProduct" = 260 | "bConfigurationValue" = 1 | "bInterfaceSubClass" = 0 | "locationID" = 338886656 | "IOGeneralInterest" = "IOCommand is not serializable" | "IOServiceLegacyMatchingRegistryID" = 4295561221 | "IOClassNameOverride" = "IOUSBInterface" | "AppleUSBAlternateServiceRegistryID" = 4295561221 | "idVendor" = 7777 | "bInterfaceProtocol" = 0 | "bAlternateSetting" = 0 | "bInterfaceNumber" = 3 | "bInterfaceClass" = 10 | } | +-o AppleUSBACMData | { | "IOClass" = "AppleUSBACMData" | "CFBundleIdentifier" = "com.apple.driver.usb.cdc.acm" | "IOProviderClass" = "IOUSBHostInterface" | "IOTTYBaseName" = "usbmodem" | "idProduct" = 260 | "IOProbeScore" = 49999 | "bInterfaceSubClass" = 0 | "HiddenPort" = Yes | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory" | "idVendor" = 7777 | "IOTTYSuffix" = "DevName_B3" | "bInterfaceClass" = 10 | } | +-o IOSerialBSDClient { "IOClass" = "IOSerialBSDClient" "CFBundleIdentifier" = "com.apple.iokit.IOSerialFamily" "IOProviderClass" = "IOSerialStreamSync" "IOTTYBaseName" = "usbmodem" "IOSerialBSDClientType" = "IORS232SerialStream" "IOProbeScore" = 1000 "IOCalloutDevice" = "/dev/cu.usbmodemDevName_B3" "IODialinDevice" = "/dev/tty.usbmodemDevName_B3" "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory" "IOTTYDevice" = "usbmodemDevName_B3" "IOResourceMatch" = "IOBSD" "IOTTYSuffix" = "DevName_B3" }Any help appreciated!

Hi, I need help Now I need to send SCSI commands to Usb Mass Storage Driver, but i can't find a good solution. Does anyone have a solution?

Hi, i am working on a swift package library that gets information about all the disks connected to the mac and displays it organised into a tree structure, including the non-mounted storage devices attached to the machine. My question is how can i get informations about unmounted devices like: The amount of free space (when possible) of a partition or an APFS container The space occupied by a single APFS volume I am already using a combination of IOKit and Disk Arbitration for my library and i don't see this information anywhere in those frameworks, including the description dictionaries provided by Disk Arbitration. Instead the terminal command diskutil info -plist [volume/partition BSD name here] gives me this info, but i can't just use it's output in my swift program (and obtaining it via a process object for example) since it doesn't work with the app sandbox, so i am looking for a sandbox-friendly way using just the API. I hope you can help me figure this out, really any help is appreciated, thank you for your attention.

Hi, i have made some code in Swift that allows me to get a list of the storage disks and the relative partitions present in a mac (everything made using the IOKit api), this of course includes the APFS containers that are managed by the OS as separate storage devices. To have a proper representation of the partitions tree in my code i need to know which are the actual partitions housing a given APFS container. I have tried to look for this information on documentation and on the internet, then into the IORegistry (using the registry explorer app) and searching for this info into the description dictionaries provided by Disk arbitration but so far no luck, even by comparing the UUIDs. In IORegistry explorer in the IOService plane I can also see that the APFS Container in my mac's ssd is listed as a sub-node of it's physical storage a partition, but since i am using an IOIterator object to scan the IORegistry i have no idea of how i should look into sub-nodes for a given node. Also i think that some particular storage configurations might have an APFS container split across multiple physical storage devices, in fact the diskutil list -plist command shows the physical store for each APFS containers as an array in the plist output, so the child approach might not be effective there. So how can i do this? I am doing all of this stuff because i am working to a sandbox-friendly open source swift package for macOS apps to easily get a complete tree structure of disks and partitions, in a similar fashion to the above mentioned diskutil list -plist command, my goal is actually to have the exact same structure provided by that command, with the same info.

I've done extensive reading on this, but I'm still stumped. I'm trying to call USBInterfaceOpen for a USB Device that I need direct read/write access to, but I get an exclusive access error. There seem to be 2 possibilities here: 1) use the HID interface or 2) do a codeless kext to get to the device before OS X's HID Manager does. So possibility 1 is not going to work, it's not recognized as a storage or network device and nothing is created in the /dev tree that would allow standard POSIX calls. And possibility 2 is not going well. Apple seems to have really locked things down, and I get "Bad code signature" errors when loading trying to load my codeless kext (with just a .plist): Authenticating extension failed: Bad code signature" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Authenticating extension failed: Kext com.blackrock.cerestim v1.0.0 in codeless kext bundle com.blackrock.cerestim at /private/var/db/KernelExtensionManagement/Staging/com.blackrock.cerestim.ohqHdy/Cerestim.kext: I am really stuck. Is there any simple way of preventing an HID takeover of this device?

I want graphics card details using objective c. used IOServiceGetMatchingServices api for it, its working fine in Intel processor machine, but not returning model info for M1 machine. here is the code I was using    CFMutableDictionaryRef matchDict = IOServiceMatching("IOPCIDevice");        io_iterator_t iterator;        if (IOServiceGetMatchingServices(kIOMasterPortDefault,matchDict,                    &iterator) == kIOReturnSuccess)   {      io_registry_entry_t regEntry;            while ((regEntry = IOIteratorNext(iterator))) {        CFMutableDictionaryRef serviceDictionary;        if (IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperties(regEntry,                          &serviceDictionary,                           kCFAllocatorDefault,                           kNilOptions) != kIOReturnSuccess)       {          IOObjectRelease(regEntry);          continue;       }        const void *GPUModel = CFDictionaryGetValue(serviceDictionary, @"model");                if (GPUModel != nil) {          if (CFGetTypeID(GPUModel) == CFDataGetTypeID()) {            NSString *modelName = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:                       (NSData *)GPUModel encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];                        NSLog(@"GPU Model: %@", modelName);           [modelName release];         }       }        CFRelease(serviceDictionary);        IOObjectRelease(regEntry);     }      IOObjectRelease(iterator);   }

is there any cocoa API available using which we can get below details of physical memory? Able to get this data using system_profiler SPMemoryDataType but looking for API instead of command since this command do not return all above data for Apple M1 machine.

Is there any native cocoa API available which gives below graphic card details in Intel and Apple M1 machines? Chipset Model,  Type,  Bus,  VRAM (Dynamic, Max),  Vendor,  Device ID,  Revision ID,  Automatic Graphics Switching,  gMux Version,  Metal Family

Hi, I would like to update that we have a kext that has IOStorageFamily in OSBundleLibraries. I would like to know whether we can create DriverKit that support this family and embed in SystemExtension for deployment? and we have another kext that has combination of IOStorageFamily and IOUSBFamily in OSBundleLibraries. Please let me know whether such type of Kext can be converted into DriverKit. I am new to DriverKit development. Please let us know if there is any sample that has these bundles in DriverKit so that I can check. Please let us know if such are supported with DriverKit then what are the capabilities that we need to add in entitlement request so that it can get approved. Thanks & Regards, Mohmad Vasim
