A native Apple Silicon build of CP210xVCPDriver is confirmed in use on real Macs. To upgrade from your Intel version: visit the Silicon Labs download page at https://www.silabs.com/software-and-tools/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?tab=downloads, download the latest Mac OSX VCP Driver package, and run the CP210xVCPDriver.app installer. The app will guide you through the system extension installation and request the necessary permissions. If you already have a CP210xVCPDriver.app in your Applications folder, you can simply download the new version and run it — it will update the existing system extension to the current native build. After installation, your CP210x devices will be recognised under their new native Apple Silicon driver, providing better compatibility and performance on M-series Macs.
