Good! We've been wanting to have source to that library. What's the ftdichip.com URL for downloading *SOURCE* code to that driver library? I didn't see one when I browsed their website last week... > It's not different from > using a serial or parallel port. You don't expect to have access > to the serial/parallel port driver do you? Oddly enough, yes I do. Unless it's part of the operating system, which D2XX is not. And I prefer to have the OS source in hand, too. Even if I can't freely redistribute modified versions of it, as was the case with original (academic) UNIX licences. You might recall that one original impetus for the whole Free Software movement was ... a vendor closing down a printer driver, removing functionality that a community had come to rely on. (The "Open Source" thing came along much later, from folk who thought such things were fine.) That parallel printer driver wasn't quite what one would call a parport driver today, but it was as close as one generally got at that time. _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
