Re: [OpenOCD-devel] Bug#793214: openocd: OpenRD Ultimate unsupported since removal of ft2232 (so >=0.8.0)

[Andreas F. <and...@gm...>]

Looking into it. The failure is on a really low level because the scan
chain discovery just finds garbage. I suspect a problem with the reset
signals because the I/O initialization seems to otherwise match the legacy
driver. Looking at the old driver it seems the adapter has fully
tristate-buffered reset signals even though they are not used as such. Not
sure why that should be a problem but can you anyway try the following
config file patch?

Nothing in dmesg when openocd starts and ttyUSB0 goes missing? I just want
to confirm that openocd actually opens the correct interface, otherwise
that could be the problem (talking JTAG with the serial port circuitry).
The "ftdi_channel 1" option is not used a lot and I've never tested it
myself. A disappearing serial port might indicate that the interface is
actually wrong, but it could also be some quirk of
libusb/ftdi_sio/virtualbox.
