Description
Running macOS Catalina 10.15.7, with an Arduino Mega2560 that is confirmed to work on a windows machine. The only port is a USB C port. There is not port detected by the IDE when connecting through a USB B/C cable, or through a usb A/B connected to a USB A/C adapter which is itself connected to the computer.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing-port behavior with an Arduino Mega2560 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 using the USB connections described. Trace the IDE's serial-port detection path and compare the result with a working Windows setup; the issue is done when the board's port is detected in the IDE.
