sorry, i don't have the time to wait for my post to appear on gmane.
i wrote the original tiny little patch for openOCDs fbsd support, and
i just checked the current SVN sources:  they are still there, and they
should work, although i only used bitbanging on the parallel port.

note that openOCD is still very actively developed, you should
definitely use the SVN repo.  the only thing you might need is this:

  #!/bin/sh
  # bootstrap.fbsd
  aclocal19 &&
  autoheader259 &&
  automake19 --gnu --add-missing &&
  autoconf259

because the linux versions don't carry version numbers in their names...

i understand that USB is better specified than the parallel port.
you might get away without patching anything, just using the correct
"./configure ..." incantation for your FT* chip based interface.

please report back with success/failure and what you had to do to get it
to work.  also, there's a wiki[1] where people collect configuration
information, you can check there for your controller, and please update
any missing pieces.  last year the "edit page" link needed a login, and
the creating an account wasn't automatic, you'd need to tell dominic to
list you up.

other than that, openOCD worked fairly well, it should work even better
using USB.


regards, clemens
