Dec 18 20:03:19 <drath> prpplague: pong
Dec 18 20:03:27 <prpplague> drath: hey, quick question
Dec 18 20:03:50 <prpplague> drath: performance difference between using the ftdi library verses the opensource library?
Dec 18 20:03:55 <prpplague> drath: for openocd that is
Dec 18 20:04:13 <drath> prpplague: varies, but could be as much as 2-3x
Dec 18 20:04:30 <prpplague> drath: we've had a couple of complaints about the ftdi lib not being compeletly opensource
Dec 18 20:04:32 <drath> using ftd2xx i achieved up to 120kbyte/s download to target ram
Dec 18 20:04:57 <drath> libftdi maxes out around 40kb/s or so
Dec 18 20:05:06 <prpplague> drath: any major problems using the opensource lib other than speed?
Dec 18 20:05:21 <drath> prpplague: not with the latest version

Dec 18 20:05:39 <drath> prpplague: the ft2232_device_desc is a bit different
Dec 18 20:05:42 <prpplague> drath: has the ft2232 intergrated onboard
Dec 18 20:05:59 <drath> prpplague: cool
Dec 18 20:06:18 <drath> prpplague: makes an ideal platform for university labs and so on
Dec 18 20:06:32 <prpplague> indeed, the usb powers the device as well
