ARM-USB-OCD-H driver install on Win XP 32-bit

[edmob]

Hello,
anyone know how to install FTDI driver for ARM-USB-OCD-H on windows XP?

I'm trying to install FTDI drivers for ARM-USB-OCD-H on a Windows XP host

I'm getting the FTDI driver from
https://www.olimex.com/Products/ARM/JTAG/_resources/OpenOCD_OnlinePackage_v1.1.zip
(path OpenOCD_OnlinePackage_v1.1\DRIVERS\CDM20808 in the zip file)

I've installed the same driver on a windows 7 host and is working:
a.   "Update driver"
b.   "Browse my computer for driver"
c.   "Let me pick from a list of device"
d.   "show all devices"
e.   (select the path to FTDI driver)
f.   (select "USB Serial Converter B" to install)
g.   "installing the driver is not recommended because..." -> click "Yes"
h.   Driver installed

but on Windows XP I'm stuck at step (e). When I select the folder that contains driver, the system only tells me
"The specified location does not contain information about your hardware."

Note: this only happens when I want to install driver for channel A ("Olimex OpenOCD JTAG ARM-USB-OCD-H A"). otherwise Windows XP can find the driver and install it for channel B ("Olimex OpenOCD JTAG ARM-USB-OCD-H B")

Hi edmob,

Can you specify if you trying to install the LibUSB drivers (OpenOCD) or FTDI drivers (Crossworks, CooCox IDE), e.g. which IDE/tools you are working with?

Best regards,

Hello Lub
I'm trying to install FTDI drivers.
I'm going to use the device with my own program, which talks to FTDI APIs.

Hi again,

Then please try with these drivers: https://www.olimex.com/Products/ARM/JTAG/_resources/driver-ftd2xx.zip

Let me know if they do the job.

Best regards,

Hi,
I have similar problem. I have installed FTDI drivers (driver-ftd2xx) for Olimex ARM-USB-TINY on Win7 (32-bit) and it shows "USB Serial Converter A" and "USB Serial Converter B" in the device manager. However I can not connect to interface. If I run openOCD from command line, it cannot find the jtag adapter (Error: unable to open ftdi device: device not found in procedure 'init'). I am running it with the following command:

Code Select Expand


C:\STM32_development\openocd-0.7.0\bin>openocd-0.7.0.exe -f ..\scripts\interface\olimex-jtag-tiny.cfg -f ..\scripts\board\olimex_stm32_h103.cfg

And the content of the config file olimex-jtag-tiny.cfg is:

Code Select Expand


interface ft2232
ft2232_device_desc "Olimex OpenOCD JTAG TINY"
ft2232_layout olimex-jtag
ft2232_vid_pid 0x15ba 0x0004


I checked the VID and PID, they are correct but the device description (ft2232_device_desc "Olimex OpenOCD JTAG TINY") is not correct, my device manager shows it as "USB Serial Converter A" and ".. B" which don't match. I changed ft2232_device_desc line to "USB Serial Converter A" and later "..B" but it is not working. It is still not finding the ftdi device.

What can I do? Exactly which driver shall I use?

Thanks.

Try the ftdi version (from the ftdi folder)

It avoids the old buggy ft2232 stuff.

(In the source code it's in tcl/interface/ftdi/olimex-jtag-tiny.cfg on Linux)
