I'm sorry but it has in fact a wider scope and I don't feel like removing those
rules
from openocd udev file.
Currently, openocd is changing group for all the following generic FTDI devices:
"""
0403 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
6001 FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
6010 FT2232C Dual USB-UART/FIFO IC
6011 FT4232H Quad HS USB-UART/FIFO IC
6014 FT232H Single HS USB-UART/FIFO IC
"""
While I agree that it is unfortunate that some JTAG adapters abuse the generic
PID,
I think that it is safe to say that these devices are generic enough to be owned
by the "plugdev" group vs. the really specific "dialout".
Other rules-files seem to agree with me, and for example
/lib/udev/rules.d/77-mm-usb-serial-adapters-greylist.rules says:
"""
# FTDI-based serial adapters
# FTDI does USB to serial converter ICs; and it's very likely that they'll
# never do modems themselves, so it should be safe to add a rule only based
# on the vendor Id.
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_MANUAL_SCAN_ONLY}="1"
"""
Thus, I'm inclined to mark this bug as wontfix and keep the status-quo.
Cheers, Luca
