17:42 <sevan> on my quest to fish things out from the bin & point openocd at them I have a terrasic de0-nano board (first gen based on cyclone IV, not the current model by the same name). It uses a usb-blaster interface

17:44 <sevan> I have the latest version of libftdi installed (1.15) but I don't seem to be able to get it working. Is this a case where libftdi 0.x usage comes in?

17:48 <sevan> interface/altera-usb-blaster.cfg matches the details of the hardware as seen by the system (IDs, description)

18:04 <karlp> I ... _thought_ libftdi had been dropped in favour of plain libusb, eitherway, more details required..

18:11 <sevan> karlp: ack. looks like it is somewhat working. (firing up the device for the first time in many years failed for some reason) Will put up a past of the log in a mo

18:15 <sevan> output from "openocd -f interface/altera-usb-blaster.cfg -d3" https://paste.debian.net/1306284/

18:19 <sevan> I guess openocd can connect to the usb-blaster interface. The board is running the default blink IP that comes with it flashed on.

18:43 <PaulFertser> karlp: for ftdi based adapter with MPSSE, yes. For altera usb blaster v1 no.
