Upgrade Creality Ender 5 firmware on Mac

1. Download latest firmware:

   Ender 5 Firmware + Source Code + SD Files + BL Touch - 2019-11-13

   • https://www.creality3dofficial.com/pages/firmware-download

2. Extract firmware

3. Install USB Driver:

   v1.5 CH340 Mac version - CH34x_Install_V1.5.pkg

   • https://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html

4. Install AVRDUDE (requires brew)

   brew install avrdude

5. Determine COMM port:

   ls /dev/tty.*

6. Write file to board:

   avrdude -c arduino -p m1284p -P /dev/tty.wchusbserial1430 -U ~/Downloads/Ender\ 5\ Firmware_1.1.6.hex

I am attempting to do this with a Creality CR-10 V2, but when I plug in the USB cable and check the COMM port no new device shows up. It is like nothing is connected. The same thing happens when I plug it into a windows 10 computer as well. The printer is being powered by the connection though. Is there a way to check if the driver is installed correctly?

A possibly stooped question:
This is to let you plug the USB ISP into your Mac with the other end plugged into the Ender's motherboard, right ?
I am hoping to flash an Ender 3 Pro for a BLTouch
