[avrdude-dev] [bug #12622] avrdude hangs on macosx/darwin with PL-2303 usb-to-serial and Butterfly

[Max Egger]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #12622 (project avrdude):

I had the same problem with a Keyspan USA-19HS connected to the SP Duo 2.1,
and also with the STK500 board (old protocol), using AVRDUDE 5.1 and Darwin
8.5.0 (OS X 10.4.5). After calling AVRDUDE, the terminal hung until I
unplugged the serial adapter, returning the error mentioned above.
I solved it by adding the O_NDELAY flag to the open() call in ser_open(), so
it ignores the state of the DCD line. Now it works just fine.

Here's the diff of ser_posix.c:
