M1 Silicon Mac HoRNDIS Bela Mini not connecting

kyle

Hello!
I am using an Apple M1 Chip 2020 Macbook Pro running Mac OS Monterey 12.1 and I'm having trouble connecting to my Bela Mini.

I believe I successfully installed HoRNDIS. I followed the directions here: https://github.com/jwise/HoRNDIS/issues/146

This is a breakdown of the steps I followed in the link above:

Switched to "Reduced Security" mode
Disabled SIP
Installed Xcode

Typed the following commands in terminal:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/jwise/HoRNDIS.git
cd Development/HoRNDIS/ *

This folder wasn't found so I manually downloaded HoRNDIS for Mac OSX from GitHub and copied the filepath of the HoRNDIS-master directory and cd'd into that via terminal...

cd /Users/kyleluntz/Downloads/HoRNDIS-master
xcodebuild -sdk macosx -configuration Release
sudo cp -rv build/Release/HoRNDIS.kext /Library/Extensions/

It said successfully built HoRNDIS! yay

I went to to System Preferences → Security & Privacy and approved the HoRNDIS kernel extension
Rebooted and....
Still not connecting!

Based on the fact that I got to the final step (approving the extension in Security & Privacy) I'm hoping that HoRNDIS is good to go, though I do not know how to test this.

I still cannot connect to my Bela Mini via https://bela.local or http://192.168.7.2/

Any idea where I'm going wrong here?

Thank you *1,000,000!

odd.... its been working fine for me, pretty much from when I got my M1 (mini), on BigSur.
I'm on the latest 12.3.1 release.

I'm pretty short I just followed the 'normal' instructions for installing HoRNDIS.
I certainly didnt disable sip, nor build it myself.
I assume I will have approved the kernel extension, when asked, but thats about it.

all that said, I did this all a long time ago now.. so can't really remember exactly how I got it working 😉

you could try my copy of the horndis if you want

As far as I know, there is no need to use HoRNDiS with a Bela image >= v0.3.8 (May 2020). https://learn.bela.io/using-bela/bela-techniques/network-setup/

Without HoRNDiS you should get a network interface which is assigned the 192.168.7.1 IP and the board should show up at 192.168.7.2 (or bela.local).

giuliomoro yeah, this is quite possible...
(Im not even sure how the horndis driver ended up on my m1 mac 🙂 )
it doesn't appear to be on my other m1, which Im using with Salt!

Thanks @thetechnobear and @giuliomoro. I must just be running an older image on my Bela Mini (w audio expander, not that that would make any difference?) because I'm having no problem with my pepper / M1 Mac. I'll try updating mini and if I have any trouble I'll reply.
