Kind of related to this, the unreleased development version of avrdude in the Subversion repository supports linking with hidapi [1]. By accessing the programmer as a HID device instead of using libusb, no special system configuration or kernel extensions are required. There was an announcement by Joerg on this list: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2016-02/msg00030.html I compiled the development version of avrdude myself, linked against hidapi-devel from MacPorts and it works fine for me on macOS 10.12 Sierra with the target being an ATmega328PB Xplained Mini board.
