Actually, it does work OK on a MacMini, it doesn't work on a MacBook Pro. I haven't investigated further but it has to be something to do with how the USB interfaces are implemented on the Pro.

I don't think USB on Macbook Pro is the issue. If that is the case my LPC1768 and Ethernet IOT Starter kit should have not worked at all with my MacbookPro. the issue is only with the ublox C027. ublox have to find the solution for it.

I've just tried my IoT starter kit on the MacBook Pro, it works OK. All I can assume then is that there is a configuration script of some sort that is required for the MacBook but not for the Mini, and it is not implemented on the ublox device (which works OK with Windows 7 and Debian on my Panasonic Toughbooks)
