I'm trying to get my ARTS running on a Due, but have come across a huge
stumbling block in that I can't use the Bossa tool (or its command-line
equivalents) to upload the built binary to the target board from the
Mac.

There are several different versions of bossa, some of which recognise
the Due, most of which try to open the usb-serial connection at too high
a baud rate; but none will upload.

The Arduino application for the Mac works fine, but I really don't want
to write tiny programs in C in a tiny window!

I've attempted to write my own uploader, which is very frustrating (the
Atmel documentation is quite misleading in parts, and the board's
behaviour seems inconsistent, and the only sure answer seems to be to
understand the Bossa (C++) and Arduino (Java) code, baffling).

Do others have Due vs Mac problems, or is it that I managed to buy a
duff board?
