Hi, I am trying to build this tool on Ubuntu 20.04, I have install libftdi1-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev, and when compiling, the following error shows up:

Can you help ? Thx

Hi, can you try compiling the latest version?

[doonny]

@fuger222 Thx for the update , I could comiple the driver now. But when trying to initialize the driver, the following error shows up :

main.c:87:main | errno: 11 | Platform cable not found or already initialized
pc@pc:~/Download/libxpc$ sudo ./xpc identify
main.c:15:_Init | errno: 11 | Platform cable initialization failure

I have checked the usb cable was recognized by the OS:

What might cause this problem ?

lsusb shows the following info:

@doonny This is meant to be a warning, not an actual error message. Cables with an FTDI chip are completely "plug and play", they don't require any kind of initialization, so you can safely ignore the first one.
But keep in mind that I originally made this driver for an older cable that had a Cypress FX2 chip inside. I tried to add FTDI support a while ago too, but everything other than the xpc identify is untested, and very likely doesn't work at all.

[fuger222]

As for why xpc identify didn't work, it was looking for a USB device with ID 0403:6014. I've added 0403:6010 too.

Thx for the reply, other functions does not work either.
