Talk to the poor suckers who bought a variety of Olimex boards and got caught in the crossfire: https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=2031.0 "After few reports by customers we investigated the inability of some devices to communicate via USB with a personal computer, despite that the customers had followed all recommendations and had downloaded latest FTDI drivers (straight from their web site). We discovered that the cause of this problem is connected to FT232RL chip incorporated in their design." I'm kind of surprised FTDI did this, I can't see how linking their product to something broken will boost profits. And there's enough broken stuff in the world without people running around intentionally breaking even more stuff. |
