Help using OpenOCD with Win10

[Cowboy]

We use the Olimex-USB-OCD to program an at91sam7x256 on our Mainbord via JTAG, which is working well with Win7. There we use the DriverVer=03/13/2008,2.04.06 which can not installed with Win10.
So I tried to setup the OpenOCD with new Drivers which work with Win10. I used the package OpenOCD 0.9.0 rc1 compiled for Windows which you provide at https://www.olimex.com/Products/ARM/JTAG/ARM-USB-OCD.
In the ReadMe.txt file of this package I tried the steps to establish a OpenOCD connection with our target. At first I used the Zadig installer to install the WinUSB driver for Interface #0. I tried both driver WinUSB (v6.1.7600.16385) and libusb-win32 (v1.2.6.0).
I created a openocd.cfg file:

source [find interface/ftdi/olimex-arm-usb-ocd.cfg]
source [find target/at91sam7x256.cfg]

#daemon configuration
telnet_port 4444
gdb_port 3333

reset_config srst_only

#target configuration
init
reset

when starting .\bin-x64\openocd.exe openocd.cfg I get the following response:

The target is connected properly and powered up!

The installed driver is libusb-win32 version 1.2.6.0 from 01.11.2021.

Any idea why the libusb_open() failed?

What does it say if you install the WinUSB drivers via Zadig?

With the following WINUSB driver installed from Zadig:
Driverdate: 06.06.2012, Driverversion: 6.1.7600.16385
I got the follwing response, which looks similar:

Then I changed my openocd.cfg file:

#target configuration
init ocd_init
reset ocd_reset

With the next try I got the following response:

The WIN10 PC's in our company have the kernel-isolation memory-integrity setting activated in Windows-security settings. So I tried the same with my private Laptop without this memory-integrity setting activated and get the following result:

Here the line "Error: libusb_open() failed with LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED" is missing!

Maybe get a cheap used PC / laptop, install Linux & use OpenOCD that way.

USB OCD has two serial interfaces. Did you install the Zadig drivers to both of them? One after the other? You can select each interface from drop down menu.

Maybe try with newer version of OpenOCD, from here:
