Hi all, I am currently experimenting using libftdi on Ubuntu. I compiled the 'simple' example. da...@ubuntu-desktop:~$ gcc simple.c /usr/lib/libftdi.so -o simple
When I tried to run it, I got the following error: da...@ubuntu-desktop:~$ ./simple unable to open ftdi device: -8 (inappropriate permissions on devic When the example is run as root, it works fine. da...@ubuntu-desktop:~$ sudo ./simple ftdi_read_chipid: 0 FTDI chipid: 7EEE7FC5 Is it absolutely necessary to run the program as root? Or is it possible to change the permissions of a user on the device? If so, which device? I couldn't found anything on this in the documentation. Thanks!
