Or some of the JTAG hardware vendors can sponsor the fees to get the libusb-win32 device driver digitally signed by a approved Certification Authority like Verisign. ;-) The fee is said to be only US$400. http://www.cygnal.org/ubb/Forum9/HTML/001764.html Last time we had a discussion on this issue here. That was back in 2007. Now Vista 64 is getting really popular. http://www.nabble.com/WinUSB-td13706403.html US$400 is not a big amount for the hardware vendors, right? ;-) Once the core driver is signed, users can use libusb-win32 already. Hardware vendors can choose to go for WHQL as well which costs about US$1000. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
