I also need to get my header board powered - not sure if it can be
powered from JTAG. I am brand new to this with ARM.
It’s the other way round - several JTAGs can be powered from the board, and others, like the ARM-USB-TINY, use the voltage from the Vref pin to determine the voltage level at which the JTAG port operates.
i have the same problem, and im struggling with this since long, i consulted assitance from olimex but that did not help either.
When i plug in the OLIMEX ARM-USB_OCD (not tiny) windows is first of all not asking for any driver installing it byself as a USB Combined Device, and the LED is lighting red on the ARM-USB_OCD. Then i try to install it by myself, i show windows the location as “C:\GCCFD\Olimex OpenOCD Driver” which came with the OLIMEX-GCCFD-190207.exe installer. This setup supplied by olimex is telling at the end of the installation that the driver has to be installed 3 times “and that it is not a joke”. In the driver folder there are “FTDIBUS.INF” and “FTDIPORT.INF” files. Ok, then i show windows this folder but windows is telling me that it cant find a better driver than the one installed now(USB Combined Device). So i try it with “Dont look, i will choose the driver to be installed option”. Then i tryied it this way, and installed “FTDIBUS.INF” and “FTDIPORT.INF” 3 times, since olimex is not telling which one to install 3 times, but this too is not helping.
Then i downloaded the drivers from FTDI directly, but these you can absolutely not install, so what am i to do? im helpless, i spend some bugs on this tool to go on developing with ARM.
I also noticed that there is no voltage output on the device.

You do not need to install each driver 3 times, you need to install 3 separate drivers. You only mentioned 2 of the drivers in your message but there are 3 drivers that need to be installed. The INF files for the installation are all in the ARM_USB_OCD directory under the DRIVER directory included in the directory where you installed OpenOCD. There are 3 INF files called “ftd2xx.inf”, “Ftdibus.inf”, and “Ftdiport.inf”. Just right click on each of the 3 INF files and select install from the drop down menu that appears. That’s it! All 3 drivers are installed.
i installed all the 3 drivers as you said but its not helping, no change is happening, i unplug it and plug the device again, but windows is reporting me there was a problem initiating the device and still recognizing it as a usb composite device. The three inf files i found in “C:\GCCFD\Olimex OpenOCD Driver\Olimex OpenOCD driver_old”.

In myOpenOCD installation Windows Device Manager shows 3 USB instances related to the Olimex JTAG pod:
USB Composite Device - Location 0 (Olimex OpenOCD JTAG)
Olimex OpenOCD serial driver
Olimex OpenOCD JTAG Interface
A new COM port also appears in Ports section of Device Manager.
Maybe your multiple installation attempts have left multiple driver instances?
