My Astar32u4 mini has always defined the boot port to be /dev/tty.usbmodem14401 since 2018 until now. Now, after fumbling up on a boot reload yesterday I found the boot port has been defined to be /dev/tty.usbmodem14201. I fixed my avrdude port to be that and all was ok. Now this morning, after doing make clean and make, the boot port changed to /dev/tty.usbmodem142401.
I’m using a makefile straight from the LUFA library that contains:
program: $(TARGET).hex
avrdude -p $(MCU) -C $(AVRDUDE_CONF) -c $(AVRDUDE_PROGRAMMER) -P $(AVRDUDE_PORT) -U flash:w:$(TARGET).hex
Can you explain, or point me to a document that tells how the boot device is defined?
