Apple Silicon M1+ native support without Rosetta?

[mailinger-mate]

Hello, Could you support Apple Silicon natively with M1+ chips?
The current driver requires the Rosetta layer that I would rather avoid.

Thank you!

Thank you, @moyun-yinyun! I am aware of how Rosetta works, and that we can run programs written for the Intel architecture.

My question is if you would consider writing the drivers native for Apple Silicon so we do not need to use Rosetta?

maye the CH34xVCPDriver.pkg need rosetta

cd /CH34xVCPDriver.app/Contents/MacOS
file ./CH34xVCPDriver
./CH34xVCPDriver: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64]
./CH34xVCPDriver (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
./CH34xVCPDriver (for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64
cd CH34xVCPDriver.app/Contents/Library/SystemExtensions/cn.wch.CH34xVCPDriver.dext/_CodeSignature

file ./cn.wch.CH34xVCPDriver

Yes, I will send you the installation package in dmg format, the PKG installation package must have rosetta installed

[mailinger-mate]

Thank you, I have sent you an email

Can we get the Apple Silicon version for everyone please.

[mailinger-mate]

I will test the driver this week to confirm if it is working

[mailinger-mate]

@moyun-yinyun @andypiper Thank you, I can confirm that the CH34xVCPDriver.dmg file you shared with me works well. Would you be able to publish it for everyone as well? 🙏

[lptr]

Please publish it for everyone.

There is another way...

1. Get the files out of the .pkg using one of:
   • SuspiciousPackage https://www.mothersruin.com/software/SuspiciousPackage/
   • The Unarchiver https://theunarchiver.com/
2. Move CH34xVCPDriver.app to /Applications manually
3. Run /Applications/CH34xVCPDriver.app
4. Press Install button
5. Reboot

Done!

@moyun-yinyun thank you for sharing the m1 driver with me a few months ago.
Would you please also upload the working DMG installer to this repository for everyone?
