I am not so keen in the discussion of licensing issues. But I think the FTDI D2XX library is a DLL (ftd2xx.dll). It is also distributed through the Windows D2XX driver package and installed when the driver is installed. So there is no need to distribute this DLL for the OpenOCD binary under Windows. http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%202.04.16%20WHQL%20Certified.zip So in this case, there is no issue to use D2XX for Windows, right? Under Linux, I am not so sure. Anyway, libftdi and libusb both work under Linux, so there is no real need to use libftd2xx under Linux now that Nicolas says that there is no real performance gain to use libftd2xx under Linux. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
