I first tried to make a new target configuration. Following the instructions, I setup everything and click Test Connection and the computer halts and locks up completely.
The output only shows the following.
-----[Print the reset-command software log-file]-----------------------------
This utility has selected a 100- or 510-class product.
This utility will load the adapter 'libjioserdesusb.so'.
same happens when I run xds100serial.
listing the ttys I see that /dev/ttyUSB1 is missing.
