Is it really that bad? I guess many of us will have a USB to serial converter anyway (roughly US$10-20). Do you have extra USB ports on your notebook? If not, then a US$10 4-port hub may be the way to go. By the way, the serial port situation is not exactly clearly to me. Maybe there is a solution. I just do not have the hardware to test right now. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
