libftdi-1.0 has not been formally released. So I think all the major distros will stay at 0.18 for a while. As for why to switch to libftdi-1.0, the main reason is the real async support since it is based on libusb-1.0. UrJtag has already switched to libusb-1.0 and libftdi-1.0 and they have seen significant performance boost. But OpenOCD has not yet used the async feature of libftdi-1.0. PS: libftdi-0.1x under Linux has some async support as well based on usbfs. It is rather a hack though. -- Xiaofan _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
