Debug board - giving up

[Neng-Yu Tu (Tony Tu)]

Dear Nils:

Original OpenOCD could works with original FTDI VID and PID, I remember
OpenOCD could change the PID/VID information in the configure file. But you
still need check FTDI lib version.

And , what's your debug board number? And what tool you used for refresh
EEPROM?

Best Regards,

Tony tu
