Mac OS analog to /dev/ttyUSBxx

OS X doesn't create a /dev entry for raw access to USB devices, and there's no way to access them as TTY devices.

Partly this is a different in philosophy between Linux and BSD, partly it's a difference in driver-writing technology, and partly it's a matter of already having a well-defined hierarchy (the IOKit Registry) that would have to be mapped to the /dev hierarchy in some complicated way.

At any rate, if you want to learn how you should access USB devices on a Mac, start with QA1370. If you're looking to do a quick port of some linux code without actually learning IOKit/IOUSB, it's probably going to be impossible. If you're looking for something else, you'll need to give more info about what you're trying to do.

I have a SheevaPlug that acts as a USB serial device and that appears as /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXX.

If your USB device has an FTDI chip internally, installing VCP drivers from FTDI might help.
