Hi,

On my Ubuntu system, removing the USB-Blaster, then clearing the kernel messages using 'sudo dmesg -c', and then re-inserting the USB-Blaster, I get the following output;

dwh@ubuntu:~$ dmesg
 usb 2-1.2: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13

I try a couple of times and it didn't change, same result.

Here my lsusb

I'm not sure why you are getting a message indicating 'invalid maxpacket 64', since that packet size is valid.

I'd focus on trying to figure out why you are getting that message first.

Here what I found releated to this

We can ignore the messages about "invalid maxpacket 64". It merely states that the FX2 registers endpoint 1 with a buffer size of 64 bytes instead of 512 bytes as required by the USB-2.0 high speed standard. However, there are 2 reasons for using 64 bytes: First, the FX2 internally only supports 64 bytes for EP 1 and second, the ftdi_sio kernel module expects 64 bytes as well since FTDI's USB-to-serial converters are all USB-1.1 "full speed" devices.

Plug in a development kit and try jtagconfig too.

Cheers,
