With revision 115, the maple IDE works on OS X 10.5, provided you use an external power source (due to the dfu problems mentioned above. To build it, make sure you have developer tools installed. There is an external dependency on two GNU libraries, gmp and mpfr. These can be obtained through macports.
First, go to http://www.macports.org/ and follow the installation instructions. Then open a terminal and type
sudo port install mpfr
This should install libgmp and libmpfr. Next, check out the code repository at http://code.google.com/p/leaflabs
open up a terminal, change to the directory
leaflabs/trunk/maple/build/macosx
and then run appbuild.sh
this will create the application for you and place it into the work directory ready for use.
To flash code, first set the board to maple, and make sure your maple is powered externally or via battery. The first time you try to flash, things will hang up at “Claiming USB DFU Interface…”. When this happens, unplug the usb cable and plug it back in. When you next click upload, everything should work. Ive got mine sitting here blinking right now.
Additionally, the serial monitor works under mac. It should set itself up automatically, but if not, once your code is running go to the tools->serial port menu and select something like “/dev/tty.usbmodem411″.
Hope this works for you all. A pre-built app should be available on the website shortly.
Unfortunately, it seems that there are problems getting libmpfr to play nicely with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). We’re currently looking into this, and will let you know when we have a fix.
