Not able to connect Hifive1 revb

HiFive1 Rev B
1

Hello,
I got my Hifive1 board rev b two days back.
I installed SiFive libraries in Arduino IDE and unfortunately, I am unable to upload blink program.

My OS is Mohave.

port seen in arduino is /dev/cu.usbmodemxxxxxxxxx

the error…
Sketch uses 6204 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 8388608 bytes.

Error: unable to open ftdi device with vid 0403, pid 6010, description ‘Dual RS232-HS’, serial ‘’ at bus location '’

the selected serial port
does not exist or your board is not connected

need help!

update:
I also tried below solution suggested by David Johnson-Davies

I got the same problem on Mac and solved it as follows:

Install Homebrew; see:

https://brew.sh

Install libusb-compat with (in Terminal):

brew install libusb-compat

Conclusion still not working.

I also tried in terminal screen tty.usbmodem0009790002043 115200

but its getting hanged midway!

AFAIK rev B boards don’t work with the Arduino IDE. I might be wrong and there might be a JLink option but I think you need to use the JLink tools to upload a program (that’s been HEX-dumped as well).

i think you are right because in hifive1, getting started guide there is no chapter mentioning how to program this board using Arduino IDE.
Bummer!!!
