advantages over libftdi in the past. You can still force libftdi with the
respective parameter.
WARNING: There's one quirk to consider when using FTDI's FTD2XX driver. It
connects to any known FTDI chip, randomly. I.e. if there's more than one FTDI
device connected to the host, chances are that the driver connects to the
wrong USB device. This might be an OEM USB-serial converter and you'll be
banging your head why there's no proper reading from the JTAG chain. Therefore
it's strongly recommended to specify the desc=xxx parameter for the cable
command if the ftd2xx driver is to be used. Set xxx to the product or serial
number descriptor string that are exhibited by the USB device.

issueing the "initbus ..." command. These settings are preserved by all bus
related commands if they don't collide with the signals required for bus operation.
Q. My USB pod seems slow.::
A. USB-based JTAG pods suffer from a couple of intrinsic issues. Consider the
following to get maximum performance:
* Run UrJTAG on native linux. Cygwin and VMWare are reportedly slower.
* Connect the pod via a high speed USB hub to a high speed USB host port.
Even though the pod is a full speed device, it benefits from the shorter
turn-around times between host and hub.
