I installed TunerStudio for Mac OSX, but didn't have Java installed so I downloaded and installed JRE 1.8. The TunerStudio for Mac install doesn't seem to recognize it (it appears to want JRE 1.6 instead). I saw a post that said to download the Linux version, extract it, and then run the JRE file. That works, and it updated to the newest version of TunerStudio once it opened. Is this still the preferred method for running on a Mac (assuming I don't downgrade Java to 1.6)?

just for the record. First of all, the board I am talking about has some more comands in addition to TS protocol. It was disconnecting because of the timeout (watchdog). And the reason for the timeout is this:
Waiting for 5884 byte(s): text body
Unexpected pending data: 5500 byte(s)

With relatively large chunks of data it was always receiving 384 or 256 bytes less than expected.

I still can't understand what has changed or what was broken in El Capitan, but the issue got resolved when I connected the board through a hub.

The 2.6 TS was packaged in a way that OS X bound it to a 1.6 JRE, but the 3.0 TS OS X installer has a 1.8 JRE bundled with it and should not need any JRE installed.
