I am trying to understand how to open and use multiple FTDI devices in the
same program.

I am using *ftdi_usb_find_all()* to enumerate the devices and then
*ftdi_usb_open_dev()* to open each one and identify it. Afterwards I close
each device. I do this part with just one ftdi_context.

Now that I found all the devices I want to open each selected device and
keep it open for reading and writing. I notice that *ftdi_context* contains
the following:

   - libusb_device_handle
   - readbuffer
   - eeprom

All this makes me believe that I need a separate *ftdi_context* for each
device that I want to access.  Am I on the right track?

Using the *ftdi_device_list* that I found above I want to create a new
context for each device and open it.
I tried doing

ftdi_new();
ftdi_usb_open_dev();

for each device using the old device list.  But I get a SIGSEGV somewhere
in the depths of usb_open() in libusb. I am thinking it is because I used a
device list created with one context and now am trying to open the same
device using a different context.

So how do I accomplish what I want?  Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards

Ales Fiala
