Two drivers still not 64-bit compatible

On macOS 10.14 Mojave, KStars 3.5.9 connects without problem to my Microtouch focuser and my Celestron CGE Pro mount. (the released version KStars 3.6.0 doesn't run on Mojave yet)
However on macOS 11.6 Big Sur, both KStars 3.5.9 and KStars 3.6.0 don't connect.
I suspect that the drivers : indi_microtouch_focus and indi_celestron_gps are not 64-bit compatible

Both work OK on 64bit. There have no binary components. It just doesn't connect or the driver itself does not start?

Hi Jasem,
The devices connect to the Mac (see the two arrows in the USB Device Tree) but the mount (Reducer) and the focuser (Microtouch) won't communicate under macOS Big Sur while they do under macOS Mojave

I should add that SkySafari, Starry Night Pro and AstroPlanner don't see the mount either.

SOLVED : The INDI drivers are OK. But the device drivers were not.

I solved my problems by updating the drivers of the focuser and of the scope.
Here is what I did :

1/ To update the MicroTouch focuser driver to 64-bit :
Go to www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-br...rivers?tab=downloads
and download the CP210x VCP Mac OSX Driver
The folder macOS_VCP_Driver contains the 64-bit driver SiLabsUSBDriverDisk.dmg
That’s it !

2: To update the Celestron driver is more tricky :
The forum CloudyNights.com gave the answer (www.cloudynights.com/topic/584654-updati...estron#entry11950805) and especially the contribution of johnnydecimal, on 22 May 2021 - 07:24 AM, said
Apparently one must run the CFM app from the Terminal and not from the Finder
johnnydecimal explains this very well. A HUGE thanks to him !

Edited 22 Aug 2022:
The Prolific driver has to be updated too
