...indicates it is supported by chirp, but I didn't have any success.

...also indicates it should work, but I didn't have any success with any of the Baofeng models.
I'm stumped. As a Mac user, I don't see any means to program the radio out of the box. If there is a developer near me (Oregon), I am willing to lend my radio. I'm also willing to assist with creating the interface; I have Linux available and have written more Python than I care to admit to.

I was able to use the UV6R software posted on Miklor's website, but i had to put it on my kids netbook running a 32bit copy of windows. The factory software will not communicate with the radio on 64 bit windows.
I also have linux available, I am going to try it and report back on what I find.

I've seen indications that the UV-6R is picky about the USB cable used, as well. I just ordered the more expensive FTDI cable manufactured by BaoFeng. It should be here tomorrow.

I ordered a cp2102 adapter to see if i can get some better results with it, I am not too keen on having to use super old drivers. I did try using my pl2303 based cable, and home made cable with yet another pl2303 based USB to serial adapter in linux, and no luck

I have a Baofeng GT-3TP and a Baofeng USB cable (with the longer pins to fit in the deeper recess) for it. I can interface successfully with Chirp-20150702 under Mac OS X 10.10.4. Unfortunately, I cannot communicate with a newly acquired Pofung UV-6R using the UV-5R options over this cable, neither over the cheaper cable (for the shallower recess) that interfaces with the BF888 radios. I assume that the interface for the UV-6R has yet to be developed.
In answer to a previous observation, I have succeeded in programming the radio out of the box via the Menu key. However, this method is rather tedious to say the least. I look forward to trying out the UV-6R interface when available (in a future daily build?).

wait , too ;)
one information , I have found out with a factory model . I was use the original software (V1.10) and can't set memory . after a view check and reset I have clear memory each channel delete separate and start RESET ALL. after this doing i have store memory successful.
I thing it will help to found a set by chirp ;)
regards into the group

I got my CP2102 today, cable is functional with factory software, but still not working in CHIRP, so it looks like we need this radio to be added

Still no progress... I am willing to help out with my radio, just need instructions.

It is still that way, I can't get Chirp to work. So I am stuck with using the not so easy manufacture's software. Are you working on adding this radio to Chirp?

- File serial_output.csv serial_output.csv added
So, I was able to capture the serial data from a download and then an upload; they're both in the attached file. I may try to put a patch together adding the radio, but right now I don't have a sane python dev environment, so it'll take me a while to get set up and then do the work.
