<p>Errno 2 is "file not found". I suspect you do not have the
correct name for the USB Serial Port for your programming cable,
or your cable doesn't have a driver.<br>
</p>
<p>To diagnose the situation to the next step: look for files that
start with /dev/tty.usb before and after you plug in your
programming cable:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre><open a Terminal window>
ls /dev/tty.usb*
<plug in your programming cable>
ls /dev/tty.usb*
</pre>
</blockquote>
You will typically have one device after the 2nd 'ls' command. That
is the name you need to give to chirp.<br>
If you have no tty.usb files show up: you have a device driver
issue. To diagnose further, you will need the device vendor and
product numbers. The 'ioreg' or 'system_profiler' command can show
you this:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre><open a Terminal window>
<unplug the programming cable>
system_profiler SPUSBDataType
<plug in the programming cable>
system_profiler SPUSBDataType
<ioreg alternative to system_profiler:>
ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 13px; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; background-color: rgb(239, 240, 241); white-space: inherit;">
</code></pre>
</blockquote>
Once again: you are running the command twice to look for what
changed after you plugged in the cable.<br>
<br>
The fields you want from system_profiler are the Vendor and Product
IDs; that will say what driver is needed.<br>
<br>
My Mac has built-in drivers for FTDI chips, not not the Prolific
chips (Vendor 067b, product 2303). Drivers are available from the <a

web site</a>.<br>

I hope this helps you get to the next step.<br>

<pre wrap="">I’m at my wits end with my Mac computer. I’m not versed in the commands using the terminal and I’m not very proficient with a Mac computer either but I’m stuck with it. I have a Baofeng bf-888s and started trying to program it using a generic programming cable with no success. The computer would recognize that something was plugged in but that was it. I bought a legit FTDI cable and now the computer recognizes it with all the information included so I believe that the Mac sees it... but using chirp I get the “errno2” error message when I try to download from the radio! I’ve tried drivers, this, that, and I honestly want to throw this Mac in front of a fast moving truck on the freeway! My Mac is running “high Sierra” 10.13.1 Please help!!!!!
