MacOS specifics

Preparing build environment

With Homebrew:

brew update
brew upgrade
brew tap armmbed/formulae  # This is where you get the ARM cross-compiling stuff
brew install binutils libusb armmbed/formulae/arm-none-eabi-gcc
sudo easy_install pip  # See below for methods that don't require sudo access
sudo pip2 install pyusb

Fix the environment statements:

The scripts look for python2, but you likely just have that installed as (system) python. Hence:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2

Alternative no-sudo method - install Python 2 from Homebrew:

brew install python2
pip2 install pyusb

Alternative no-sudo method - use virtualenv:

python2 -m virtualenv path/to/md380-virtualenv  # Modify to your environment
. path/to/md380-virtualenv/bin/activate
which python2 || ln -s python path/to/md380-virtualenv/bin/python2  # Most likely unnecessary
which pip2 || ln -s pip path/to/md380-virtualenv/bin/pip2  # Most likely unnecessary
pip2 install pyusb

After this, make flash as expected.
