It is not that right either for Windows. To use libftdi under Windows, you will need the libusb-win32 device driver (the filter driver may work as well). To use libftdi-1.0 under Windows, you will need to change the default FTDI driver to the WinUSB driver. libusb0.sys and winusb.sys are real kernel driver under Windows. Maybe something like this: "Error xyz. Make sure the default FTDI kernel side driver is unloaded." > The ftdi_sio is not really an issue since we have the > usb_detach_kernel_driver_np() code... usb_detach_kernel_driver_np() is only meant for Linux, it is not for Windows, Mac OS X or BSDs. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com -- libftdi - see http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi for details.
