OpenOCD JTAG / Re: The ft2232 driver is deprecated error cygwin
Thank you so much for responding!  Where exactly is it getting the port?  In my Cygwin environment, I've confirmed serial communication with the buspirate works at ttyS2 (windows com3) when using the latest FTDI drivers in windows (no filter driver).

[quote author="Graham242"]To be honest, I always found pulling down Freddy Chopin's Windows OpenOCD build far easier than trying to go through all the hassle of compiling it yourself. Admittedly I've always used a bus blaster for this, not the bus pirate.[/quote]

Unfortunately, Freddy Chopin does not enable buspirate in his builds ...

Bus Pirate Support / Re: Promoting dead project Bus Pirate
The JTAG/openOCD guides and links on the buspirate page implies that it works ... but the truth is that these guides and links are old, obsolete, and do NOT work. 

The link to the openOCD forum shows my post explaining the problem as the very top post.  It seems nobody has an answer yet ...

Bus Pirate Support / Re: Promoting dead project Bus Pirate
Yeah, I fell victim to this as well, having bought the BusPirate based on the fact that it's promoted on the main project page with no warning that everything is NOT "ok". 

Not only is the firmware project essentially dead as you mentioned, but the situation is even worse if you assume that the buspirate is good for JTAG with support built-into openOCD as advertised.  I've wasted an entire weekend trying to sort through posts going back to 2008 in a futile attempt to sort through the issues.

I get it, that Buspirate was a hobby project and essentially was intended to be a "buy one already built" instead of build-your-own.  But I certainly didn't understand that from reading the main buspirate page when I decided to buy it (http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate).  If I had known all of the above, I most certainly would have chosen something else.  Maybe someone should edit the buspirate page to indicate that the firmware is not maintained, and that getting an openocd compile done with buspirate support is problematic until someone gets time to write up a new guide?

In the meantime, is anyone here willing/able to help me get this thing up and running with openOCD?  :)  :)

Thanks,

OpenOCD JTAG / Re: The ft2232 driver is deprecated error cygwin
I have exactly the same problem.  When I try to configure with:
./configure --enable-buspirate --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-werror --disable-shared --enable-legacy-ft2232_ftd2xx --with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir=/cygdrive/c/myusr/ftd2xx

I get this error:
checking for ftd2xx.lib exists (win32)... checking whether ftd2xx library works... configure: error: Cannot build & run test program using ftd2xx.lib


In addition, if I try as a work-around to configure with ftdi device, and then compile:
./configure --enable-buspirate --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-werror --disable-shared --enable-ftdi
make && make install

I get various "... visibility attribute not supported in this configuration ...", and then later "cc1: all warnings being treated as errors", and then various "... recipe for target 'all' failed ...". 

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?!
