Bug#801145: openocd: interface script uses ft2232 (obsolete) not ftdi
Package: openocd Version: 0.8.0-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? Attempted connection between Olimex ARM-USB-OCD / LPC-microcontroller and 'jessie' host for programming/debugging. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Attempted to edit interface script /usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/olimex-arm-usb-ocd.cfg, which was ineffective. Tried using 'wheezy' system, which uses an older version of openocd. This worked, showing that the failure is a consequence of a change in openocd that no longer supports the ft2232 interface. (That system cannot be substituted for whole job, but demonstrates that the problem is with the newer software rather than the hardware). Also tried updating to stretch versions of openocd (and supporting libraries). This did not change the script, so (unsurprisingly) failed to fix the problem. * What was the outcome of this action? Various error messages, logs, etc., all indicating that the connection between the linux host and the target embedded system was not established. * What outcome did you expect instead? A proper connection as occurred with a wheezy system. PLEASE update the scripts so that they will work with the ftdi protocol.

Please provide full logs for the failure case.

I'd like to withdraw (or at least cut back) on my bug report. Minutes after posting, I noticed the 'ftdi' subdirectory: /usr/share/openocd/scripts/target It has the proper (working) scripts. The only bug (of lesser importance) would be getting rid of the old scripts which are, at best, an attractive nuisance. Thanks for your efforts! -Frank On Tue, 6 Oct 2015, Paul Fertser wrote: Hello, On Tue, Oct 06, 2015 at 10:51:09AM -0700, Frank Miles wrote: * What led up to the situation?
