+==== Required libraries for USB support ====
+
+For USB adapter support (including support for parallel port adapters attached
+to USB-to-parallel converters), one or more additional libraries are required.
+
+Many USB JTAG adapters and USB-to-parallel converters are based on chips
+made by FTDI. To support these, either intra.net's "libftdi" or FTDI's 
+"FTD2XX" library can be used.
+
+On many modern Linux distributions, libftdi is available as a precompiled
+package and can be installed using the distribution's package management system
+(e.g. "apt-get libftdi-dev" for Debian and Ubuntu). If it isn't available or
+you don't run Linux, you can get it from
+
+ * http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/ 
+
+Alternatively, you can use the FTD2XX library from the chip manufacturer FTDI.
+It is available for Linux and Windows. To use the library for Windows in a
+Cygwin environment, first get it from:
+
+ * http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm
+
+Unzip the CDM*.zip to some directory and tell UrJTAG about this directory
+during the configure step before actual compilation:
+
+ ./configure --with-libftd2xx=/cygdrive/c/windows/temp/CDM_Drivers
+
+All other USB JTAG adapters can be supported only if libusb is installed.
+There is a libusb-win32 variant that can be used in a Cygwin environment:
 
  * http://libusb.sourceforge.net (libusb)
  * http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net (libusb for Windows)
