Note about uftdi(4)
===================
On OpenBSD, libusb/libftdi cannot correctly access some devices if they're
attached to the uftdi driver. You might see error messages like this:

  fail to read data usb bulk read failed
  JTAG init failed with: low level FTDI init failed

OpenBSD does not allow detaching a device from a driver at runtime, so you
will need to modify the kernel or kernel configuration to prevent uftdi(4)
from attaching to the device.

uftdi(4) can be disabled completely without a kernel recompile, or the
driver can be modified to avoid attaching to a device with a specific
vendor/product id (this requires kernel sources and a recompile).
In either case, the device will attach to ugen(4) as a fallback.

Disabling as a one-off from the boot loader
-------------------------------------------
  boot> boot -c
  ...
  User Kernel Config
  UKC> disable uftdi
  360 uftdi* disabled
  UKC> quit

Disabling uftdi(4) with bsd.re-config(5)
----------------------------------------
This can be done with the following commands:

  echo "disable uftdi" >>/etc/bsd.re-config
  /usr/libexec/reorder_kernel
  reboot

Patching the kernel
-------------------
This method is only recommended if developing your FPGA project on a
machine with an additional FTDI USB to UART adapter with different ID
that needs to connect as a serial port, otherwise it is simpler to
disable ftdi(4).

Obtain source for your version of OpenBSD and prepare to
compile a kernel, see https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Options

Identify the vendor and product code of your device and look up the
definitions:

  $ usbdevs -v
  ...
  addr 06: 0403:6010 Future Technology Devices, 2232C Serial
           ...
           driver: uftdi0
  ...

  $ grep ^vendor.*0x0403 /sys/dev/usb/usbdevs
  vendor FTDI		0x0403	Future Technology Devices

  $ grep "^product.*0x6010" /sys/dev/usb/usbdevs
  product FTDI SERIAL_2232C	0x6010	2232C Serial

Edit /sys/dev/usb/uftdi.c and comment-out the entry for your vendor/product
codes in the uftdi_devs[] array. The above device would be USB_VENDOR_FTDI
and USB_PRODUCT_FTDI_SERIAL_2232C, so you could edit as follows:

  { USB_VENDOR_FTDI, USB_PRODUCT_FTDI_SEMC_DSS20 },
  // { USB_VENDOR_FTDI, USB_PRODUCT_FTDI_SERIAL_2232C },
  { USB_VENDOR_FTDI, USB_PRODUCT_FTDI_SERIAL_2232L },

Rebuild the kernel as shown in faq5 and reboot.
