Dec 28 19:10:21 <Schorch1985> Hello 
Dec 28 19:10:59 <Schorch1985> i need support for OpenOCD USB, OS: Linux ?
Dec 28 19:11:56 <Schorch1985> is there someone who can help installing drivers for ftdi2232???
Dec 28 19:12:08 <dinomight> Hello, Schorch1985
Dec 28 19:12:24 <dinomight> I'll do my best to help you out, though I'm new to OpenOCD myself ;)
Dec 28 19:12:35 <dinomight> What seems to be the problem?
Dec 28 19:13:43 <Schorch1985> i don't get the driver ftdi2232 installed
Dec 28 19:13:57 <dinomight> Are you using the driver from FTDICIP?
Dec 28 19:16:32 <Schorch1985> http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm
Dec 28 19:16:58 <dinomight> Alright, well, the way I got that sucker going was to extract the TAR from FTDICHIP.
Dec 28 19:16:59 <Schorch1985> i'am trying to use the driver from the site
Dec 28 19:17:34 <dinomight> I copied the header files ftd2xx.h and WinTypes.h to /usr/local/include and then sym-linked them into /usr/include
Dec 28 19:18:10 <dinomight> I also copied the librtd2xx.so.0.4.16 (or some such) into /usr/local/lib
Dec 28 19:18:27 <dinomight> Again, I made a symbolic link in /usr/lib to the library in /usr/local/lib.
Dec 28 19:18:29 <Schorch1985> there is a file name "readme.dat" 
Dec 28 19:18:37 <Schorch1985> is describes howto install the driver
Dec 28 19:19:03 <dinomight> I also made another link for it as libftd2xx.so and libftd2xx.so.0
Dec 28 19:19:20 <dinomight> Yeah, there is a description for the driver, but OpenOCD needs the header files too.
Dec 28 19:19:54 <dinomight> The header files need to be placed in the generic area that GCC searches so that the header can be found at compile time.
Dec 28 19:20:10 <dinomight>  /usr/include is one such place
Dec 28 19:21:06 <dinomight> I also thought I read some where that the .so.0 extension should be available for ld or some such at run time, so I did that link for safety.
Dec 28 19:31:45 <Schorch1985> I'm very new to the unix word so it will take while until i figure if its work that way
Dec 28 19:33:06 <Schorch1985> :-)
Dec 28 19:33:24 <dinomight> The way I verified that it worked was when I tried to configure the OpenOCD build with --enable_ftdi2232-ftd2xx and set the library option to shared for the ftd2xx (both of these are arguments to the ./configure script).
Dec 28 19:33:36 <dinomight> If the tests pass, I assume the library is working.
Dec 28 19:33:50 <dinomight> By tests I mean the configure script runs without failing.
Dec 28 19:48:02 <Schorch1985> do you change something in the file /etc/fstab?
Dec 28 20:09:22 <Schorch1985> the configure script is still failing
Dec 28 20:09:25 <Schorch1985> configure: WARNING: The (linux) FTDICHIP.COM files ftd2xx.h and libftd2xx.so are assumed to be in a proper place
Dec 28 20:09:25 <Schorch1985> checking Test: Build & Link with ftd2xx... configure: error: Cannot build & run test program using ftd2xx.lib
Dec 28 20:11:02 <Schorch1985> what is the source of sym-link from libftd2xx.so and libftd2xx.so.0?? 
Dec 28 20:11:05 <Schorch1985>  librtd2xx.so.0.4.16???
Dec 28 20:11:16 <dinomight> Yes.
Dec 28 20:11:32 <dinomight> Well, I may have missed typed if that is from above.
Dec 28 20:11:42 <dinomight> *miss typed
Dec 28 20:13:56 <Schorch1985> in which directory do this sym-links belong??
Dec 28 20:14:24 <dinomight> Try writing a quick test.c file that with #include<ftd2xx.h> and see if you can compile it with gcc.
Dec 28 20:14:39 <dinomight> The sym-links should be made in /usr/include and /usr/lib
Dec 28 20:15:45 <Schorch1985> this could be the failure, i just had them in /usr/include
Dec 28 20:16:28 <dinomight> ex:
Dec 28 20:16:28 <dinomight> ln -s /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.so.0.4.16 /usr/lib/libftd2xx.so
Dec 28 20:16:28 <dinomight> ln -s /usr/lib/libftd2xx.so /usr/lib/libftd2xx.so.0
Dec 28 20:16:28 <dinomight> ln -s /usr/local/include/ftd2xx.h /usr/include/ftd2xx.h
Dec 28 20:16:28 <dinomight> ln -s /usr/local/include/WinTypes.h /usr/include/WinTypes.h
Dec 28 20:17:11 <dinomight> I'm assuming you placed the header files and the shared object in /usr/local
Dec 28 20:27:25 <Schorch1985> now the configure script is running without failing 
Dec 28 20:27:41 <Schorch1985> :-) thanks a lot
