Package: openocd
Version: 0.8.0-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
        Attempted connection between Olimex ARM-USB-OCD / LPC-microcontroller 
and 'jessie' host
                for programming/debugging.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
        Attempted to edit interface script 
/usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/olimex-arm-usb-ocd.cfg,
                which was ineffective.
        Tried using 'wheezy' system, which uses an older version of openocd.  
This worked, showing
                that the failure is a consequence of a change in openocd that 
no longer supports
                the ft2232 interface.  (That system cannot be substituted for 
whole job, but
                demonstrates that the problem is with the newer software rather 
than the hardware).
        Also tried updating to stretch versions of openocd (and supporting 
libraries).  This
                did not change the script, so (unsurprisingly) failed to fix 
the problem.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
        Various error messages, logs, etc., all indicating that the connection 
between the linux host
                and the target embedded system was not established.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
        A proper connection as occurred with a wheezy system.

        PLEASE update the scripts so that they will work with the ftdi 
protocol.  THANKS!
